This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Name that ship!

Hey hope to get your opinions and thoughts on this. The Star Frontiers game I'm starting sunday the players will be getting a ship. So I though I would pick your brains to see what you think.

My suggestion is the one used in my friends SW campaign:

"The Chubby Virgin"

which later became known as "The Virgin"
Download Secret Santicore! (10MB). I painted the cover :)

My merchant ship in Pardus is called "Pernoctation", since it moves through the eternal night of space... Many of the other players have picked their names from the novels by Banks: this list from Wikipedia might prove inspirational.
Previously known by the name of "GrimGent".

That depends. What kind of ship is it? Typical tramp freighter?

I've always like the self-selected titles ships have in Iain M. Banks Culture novels.

A comprehensive list can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_(The_Culture)

My favourites include Cargo Cult, Of Course I Still Love You, Frank Exchange Of Views (a Psychopath Class ship :D) and Meatfucker.

Enjoy!

EDIT: The link seems to be a bit wonky. Click on the second option on the list.

Thank God you posted!  I'd have wracked my brain to try to remember "The Vindicator"...   :)

...or the "Caroline", piece of junk that ours was...
