    Aha...so there is one of the few other Chin'toka's I've seen flying around in game. (Though you don't generally see my Chin'toka around except as an RP ship, since the one I actually outfitted for endgame on that toon is a Dromias called the Stravinsky.)

    My Delta Recruit, Sakoth, has this:

    "Maxim 15."

    That's all, because his crew is all either mercenaries or smart enough to ask a mercenary, so they all know the Maxims by heart.

    Also nice to see another russian named ship :blush: !!

    Alyosha's a HUGE music geek. When he named the ship, his mind went from Undine design sensibilities (very dissonant and wild) and ethics (uncompromising and often cruel) to the "Rite of Spring"...and from there, to Stravinsky.

    kurumimorishita, your Latin must be impeccable, because Google Translator is having trouble with a few words on a few of your mottos. :) I'd say that's a good thing. ;)

    I feel like a picture is worth a thousand words here, so just going to leave the link to the dedication plaques I've done for a few of my ships here. I haven't done any recent ones yet so these are just a little bit dated in terms of active ships I have now.

    U.S.S. Atlantis - Ambassador Class

    U.S.S. West Virginia - Maelstrom Class

    U.S.S. Arizona - Sovereign Class

    Wow.. I really like that background a lot!

    Hehe.. well, most of these mottos are actually "borrowed" from different coat of arms.. for example one of my favorites (Quam Celerrime Ad Astra) is used by the Chilean Air Force and the 27 Squadron of the RAF. Others like "Audaces Fortuna Iuvat" are debatable as there are many other variations possible.

    Btw.. I updated my (motto) post with the translations now ;)

    On the bridge of the Ragnarok? maybe this:

    "He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea."

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Hmm, hadn't really thought about this.
    For my main, USS Magpie, how about:
    "Freely ye have received, freely give." - Matthew 10:8
    (Or, if you're going to be uncharitable: "Behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.")

    RRS Lodestar (civilian vessel; exists only in RP so far): Lodestar is an independent ship and isn't a warship, so she doesn't have a "mission" in quite the same way, but this would be appropriate:
    "Neglect not the gift that is in thee..." - 1 Timothy 4:14
    (Still appropriate in context, too - I'll say no more at the moment.)

    IKS Price of Liberty:
    I have a song in my head for the Captain - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4ZKlT1EvCA
    But those are Ravek Steelbone's problems, not everyone else's. For the ship itself, I think the classic'd do as well as anything:
    "Find a crew, find a job, keep flyin'." - Firefly

    Incidentally, it doesn't quite fit any of mine, but wouldn't some or all of this be great, especially for a hospital ship?
    “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.” - Abraham Lincoln, 2nd Inaugural Address.
