And on the KDF side... I threw caution to the four winds and decided to go on an aviary tangent... in Spanish. My raptor's named the IKS Po'llo Vi'ejo (my BoP is named IKS Po'llo N'ojado)...
LOL! That's Funny, i also named my KDF names on spanish tangent (that is my native languaje), But my KDF are named by unknowing names for ships, so i have the I.K.S. Quetin' Portha and other names i don't exactly remember... comming soon on the post i'll gonna made :P
WE ARE NOT PERFECT, BUT THAT IMPERFECTIONS MAKE US UNIQUE...
heh... should've explained my own naming convention. All of Fin Hawkins ships are named after swords. As I mentioned before, his current ship is the USS Kusanagi, a kitbashed Carrier Escort (Artimage saucer, Thunderchild nacelles and hull, and Akira struts). It is named after one of the three Japanese regalia known as the "Grass Cutter Sword" (the other two being a mirror and a jewel). Other ships include the USS Xiphus Gladius (Exeter Class Cruiser), the USS Acinaces (Shi'kar Class) and USS Kaiser Blade (Multi Vector Escort).
Why swords? Well... I consider Tactical Officers to be the "Swords of Starfleet". If Starfleet needs people to stand up to Klingon Warriors the redshirts are first in line.
Already got an Engineer started as well. Her ships will be named after shields...
My main who's a science officer and has my name currently captains an RSV called the USS Gundere. Anime fans will recognize the term as it's associated with my forum avatar. I'm convinced that if the ship were a woman she'd blast him with her weapons for annoying her...
*sings* "I like Gammera! He's so neat!!! He is full of turtle meat!!!"
"Hah! You are doomed! You're only armed with that pathetic excuse for a musical instrument!!!" *the Savage Beast moments before Lonnehart the Bard used music to soothe him... then beat him to death with his Fat Lute*
I have lots of ships on different alts but some of which are:
Brian
USS Legion-MVAE (My name is Legion, for we are many)
USS Carpe Cerevisi-Sci Oddy
USS Nexus Surfer-Excelsior Retrofit
USS Donkey Punch-Peregrine
USS Glutton-D'Kora
Trill Nye
License to Trill-LRSVR
Garfield
USS Lasagna-Excelsior Retro
Tinker Tabby
USS FelineSupplement-Excelsior Retro
That's all I can think of at the moment.
-It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.-- Mark Twain.
on my fed
USS Edward McDonnell -defiant class named after the frigate my dad served on in 1977-1980
USS Hyperion -sovereign class random name cryptic gave
USS Yamato -Mirror Vanguard class hybrid named after the Japanese battle ship of WWII
USS Sultan -Mirror sovereign class random name cryptic gave
USS Parthenon -Odyssey class wanted a name that had to do with Greece original idea was the Iliad the prequel to homers odyssey but every one was calling the odyssey that so picked Parthenon
USS Victoria -Cheyenne class Fleet heavy cruiser original name cryptic gave was Victorian i chopped off the N as i thought Victoria sounded better. later retconned it to be named after Queen Victoria. now with the fleet system i have this old ship back as USS Victoria AC-154. i just RP that Starfleet do tot he war has brought back some ships that where suppose to be scrapped. the AC-154 is just so i can have 2 ships named Victoria it stands for Attack Cruiser and the 154 is the last 3 digits of the registry number
USS Victoria-A -Galaxy/Venture Class hybrid when i became captain and had to get a new ship i liked Victoria enough i used it again and just RP'ed that the old one was decommissioned the Victoria A is also my main when i first came RA i actually still used the T4 Galaxy up until VA when i could use the oddy then got the retro so the galaxy class in one form or another has been my main ship for a little over a year
USS Alpha Flyer Delta type shuttle play on delta flyer
I don't recognize the USS Swordbreaker, but the name Exelion I remember from an old anime titled "Gunbuster", Hideki Anno's first work.... or one of his first. It's been so long I can barely remember...
And I think I have sighted a USS Gunbuster somewhere during my travels...

Only gonna name the ships for my primary Fed character. (in no particular order) [except that the ship I'm currently using is listed last]
U.S.S. Bartowski - Captain's Yacht - Named for the NBC computer tech turned spy Chuck Bartowski on the September 2007 to January 2012 series "Chuck", played by Zachary Levi.
U.S.S. Battlestar - Assault Cruiser - Named for the December 2003 to January 2010 TV series "Battlestar Galactica" that aired on SyFy which was remade from the September 1978 to August 1979 series.
U.S.S. Corvus Corax - Escort - Named for my girlfriend's favorite bird.
U.S.S. Enterprize - Constitution Class Cruiser - Given that I'd gotten the ship for free when I bought the game and since it was a Constitution Class, I knew, as a "Star Trek: TOS" fan, I was gonna name it something close to the actual name it was famous for.
U.S.S. Fairyqueen - Heavy Cruiser - Named for the second half of my girlfriend's username on Yahoo! Messenger
U.S.S. Highflyer - Star Cruiser - Named for the first half of my username on Yahoo! Messenger
U.S.S. Lockwood - Delta Flyer - Named for the last name of the werewolf character Tyler Lockwood on the currently airing CW series "The Vampire Diaries"
U.S.S. Passionstorm - Exploration Cruiser - My girlfriend came up with this idea; she'd told me she got it from someone else, though I didn't get an explanation behind why that name was chosen.
U.S.S. Petrova - Class F Shuttle - Named for the last name of the vampire character Katerina Petrova on the currently airing CW series "The Vampire Diaries"
U.S.S. Salvatore - Exploration Cruiser Retrofit - Named for the last name of the vampire brothers Damon and Stefan Salvatore on the currently airing CW series "The Vampire Diaries"

And my current ship...
U.S.S. Callaghan - Odyssey Star Cruiser - Named for the police officer character Julianna "Jules" Callaghan on the currently airing CBS/CTV series "Flashpoint", played by former Mighty Morphin' Power Ranger Amy Jo Johnson.
My Hegh's name is just a play on words I.K.S. Tig ol Bitties and
my brel is actually named I.K.S. Colonel Klink and thats an Idea
from a post on the forums that "Klink" is a deragutory form of Klingon which IMO is not.

LOL I named my light cruiser something amusing awhile back.
Needless to say a week passed and then I logged back in to find my ships name had been changed to BADNAME 3421526
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Opening a lockbox is like using a public restroom when u gotta poo.
You are just hoping nobody blew on the seat or that all the toilet paper is gone.
I started off thinking about the perfect names for my ships. Unless it was of a class that I couldn't stand to fly, such as those dratted fishbowl-shaped Research Science Vessels, I made certain that I wouldn't be embarrassed to show up on some NPC's target lock. (Whenever I see someone fly by with the name U.S.S. Chuck Norrises Pinkie or some other TRIBBLE, I really wish we could blow our fellow officers out of space. Just sayin'.)
So far, the only one I've been truly happy with is my Intrepid-class, the U.S.S. Fairweather. I wanted something that could evoke the same majesty as the U.S.S. Voyager had with her name, and I personally remain convinced that I got one. And yes, when I get the LRSV Refit, I'll be keeping the name, thank you very much! I even have a quotation picked out for her plaque.

USS Profanity - just wanted to prove that profanity was indeed allowed.
USS Citizen - a fan of the watches
USS Frankenstein - was reading Dean Koontz @ the time
USS Michael Campa - me
USS Hartsdale - town I grew up in
USS Columbia - street I grew up on in Hartsdale
USS Takei - Excelsior class named after Mr "Oh my" himself
USS Happy Birthday - promoted on my bday
USS Merry Christmas - promoted on Christmas
USS Domo Arigato - Captained by Mr. Roboto - liberated Borg
USS Blackhole Swan - 1/2 a Joe Satriani album
USS Worm hole Wizard - other half of Satch album
USS Chlamydia - captains yacht
USS Angry Bird - after the iconic game
USS Pale Horse - The rider was death and Hell followed behind him.
There are more. Can't seem to recall the rest at the moment.
Combination of a sweet little pony appearance with Polaron weaponary not necessarily the best weapons do to the job with but still pwning and TRIBBLE the enemy in PvP
My ships across the board all share the same name: U.S.S. Geminon NCC-BIRTHDAY
Gemini is my zodiacsign and I'm not that creative.
(And ya, I know about BSG)
One exception is the U.S.S. Madame Pompadour NCC-291221
It is flown by my Sci, and got named by my wife. And she took the name out of Doctor Who, because she likes the actress who played her.
I get a lot of my ship names from the old Jackill's Star Fleet Reference Manual. My Odyssey trio is named Concordat, Konkordium, Concordance. All words meaning an agreement, suitable names for a front line Federation starship.
My Romulan Liberated Borg character made it to Level 30 and beat the (old) Defense of New Romulus with the skill point bug.
I didn't go original U.S.S YORKTOWN for one character and U.S.S. TEXAS for other. I have used the same ship name for all ships inside one character (Federation) with the -A, -B, -C.
U.S.S. Disturbed, Tac, Mirror Assault Cruiser~Band
U.S.S. Moretsu, Eng, Galor~Anime
U.S.S. Ergo Proxy, Eng, Patrol Escort~Anime
I.K.S. Void Stalker, Tac, Bortesqu~evocative
I.K.S. Kaimetsu, Eng, Bortesqu~japanese for destruction/annihilation
I.K.S. Azure, Sci, Bortasque~Tetryon build. characters name is Sapphire, it was planned from the start
U.S.S. Azure Fury, Sci, Patrol Escort~another tetryon build, the kdf was so fun had to try a fed version.
just the final ships at present, planning on acquiring an armitage which will go to the tac, also named Disturbed. Like the eng in the galor, it's a great ship. there's another final but can't remember the name of the ship >.< 13 alts...can't keep track sometimes.
shuttles...just kinda obvious why they're named that way i reckon.
U.S.S. Pinebox, fed freebie shuttle for vault mission
I.K.S. Coffin, kdf freebie shuttle for vault mission

Your wife is sure good with names. I just hope that ship's captain doesn't live up to that name. :eek:
I've got an extra character slot.. how bad would it be if I named Klingon ships after todays supercars?

Exploration Cruiser Retrofit (my current ride) : USS Yamato, in honor of the Enterprise D sister ship and the TNG Anniversery since i just got her a few days ago.
Tactical Escort Retrofit: USS Tiberium, based upon the Star Wars Lambda shuttle in SW Ep. VI. Flying causal takes a whole new meanining lol
Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit: USS Vyper, kind of wanted a name that stood for beautiful but deadly about her since Voyager always had the "run and hide" reputation about her but she still had teeth and never once did they "dumb the Borg" in the show.
Star Cruiser (our universe): USS Galactica, as a kid before Star Trek came into my life i always had a fondness over BSG the Original on TV.
Ive got more but those are the ones that i use the most or currently
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "This planet smells, it must be the Klingons"
Shuttle: U.S.S. Highlander - Danube Runabout: Because why not?
Ships:
(Lt.) U.S.S. PT-109 - Shi'Kar Variant (with Centaur pylons and Miranda engines/weapon pod): It's named after the ship John F. Kennedy served on during WWII. It's a semi-famous ship.
(Lt. Comm.) U.S.S. Veranus - Excalibur Class: I could not come up with anything unique and better.
(Comm.) U.S.S. Stalingrad - Akira Class: Named after the battle.
(Capt.) U.S.S. Whitestar - Defiant Class: Babylon 5, which is an awesome show. (#2 on my list of favorite sci-fi tv series. #1 is TNG)
(Current) U.S.S. John F. Kennedy - Gryphon variant (with Dervish Saucer): John F. Kennedy was an awesome president and a strong leader. I know in the US military, only carriers are named after presidents, but this was named before the Atrox and I do what I want.
(Current) U.S.S. Iris Arc - Mirror Assault Cruiser variant (Just a hash of stuff that looked good together): A flagship in my own sci-fi universe idea. That's all I can say.
KDF Toon (the more "important" ships):
(Capt.) I.K.S. 'Iwro' - Vor'cha Attack Cruiser: I believe that's Klingon for Blood Fist, which is a name for one of my micro-machine ships, another Vor'cha, which has a red streak across the front section.
(Current) I.K.S. Qulqa' - Vo'Quv Carrier: Translate and see what else I'm a fan of (...at least until the next installment later this year ). You may have to switch the words to figure it out.
I've only passingly themed my characters. Only ones I really pre-planned were my sci Klink, using FF4 names: the Scarmilogne, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, and Rubicante levelling up, with Rubicante, Golbez and Zeromus for endgame.
And my Ferengi who pretty much just referenced Nova while levelling up: Rick Chappy, Ginger Powder, Wiggling Niblets and LITTLE BOY. Yes, lame.

(Lt. Comm.) U.S.S. Veranus - Excalibur Class: I could not come up with anything unique and better.
(Comm.) U.S.S. Stalingrad - Akira Class: Named after the battle.
(Capt.) U.S.S. Whitestar - Defiant Class: Babylon 5, which is an awesome show. (#2 on my list of favorite sci-fi tv series. #1 is TNG)
(Current) U.S.S. John F. Kennedy - Gryphon variant (with Dervish Saucer): John F. Kennedy was an awesome president and a strong leader. I know in the US military, only carriers are named after presidents, but this was named before the Atrox and I do what I want.
(Current) U.S.S. Iris Arc - Mirror Assault Cruiser variant (Just a hash of stuff that looked good together): A flagship in my own sci-fi universe idea. That's all I can say.
KDF Toon (the more "important" ships):
(Capt.) I.K.S. 'Iwro' - Vor'cha Attack Cruiser: I believe that's Klingon for Blood Fist, which is a name for one of my micro-machine ships, another Vor'cha, which has a red streak across the front section.
(Current) I.K.S. Qulqa' - Vo'Quv Carrier: Translate and see what else I'm a fan of (...at least until the next installment later this year
Formerly Traven158
And my Ferengi who pretty much just referenced Nova while levelling up: Rick Chappy, Ginger Powder, Wiggling Niblets and LITTLE BOY. Yes, lame.
I take it you've seen FFVI names already in the game? I've seen an endgame ship named the IKS Kefka floating around...
Man that guy was a bast... um... an omnicidal jerk...
