Naming your ship

[darthhydra]

Well your probably going to be able to name your ship, so I was thinking if anyone else had already thought of some name ideas. I myself was thing of something along the line of the USS Willpower. Has a nice ring to it.

[Matthias_DuBastyra]

Yeah, that does have a nice ring to it! I'm gonna name mine: USS ThatWasLame. When I pop anyone out of the sky that's exactly what they're gonna say anyway so I might as well make it so its my ship they call out as they go down!

[No1UKnow]

I like USS Renterpies

[jakeeyes]

VVV See the Sig VVV

[MKIceman]

U.S.S. Lollipop.

It's a good ship.

[BurrCO]

U.S.S Whosyourdaddy

[Tacticalchief]

I have a word document with a running list of names. I'll type them out whenever I think of them so I dont forget. I also assign a number to them as well. I got a couple examples. USS Grundsfeld = NX - 0419, USS Fire Spirit = NX - 5100 or USS Tarmack = NCC - 9104.

[Peterv5]

USS Crazy Horse, xD. It is on some TNG episodes, like in best of both worlds and The Pegasus

[Riska]

I actually had not thought of this before now. So i'm going to go with USS Vantage, USS ShinRa, USS Conan... or Schwarzenegger, USS Cloud, USS Bill Murray, USS Peter Griffin, USS John Locke, USS Flump, USS Becks (after the beer), USS Colossus (after Shadow of the Colussus), USS Hobb (after Robin Hobb), USS Bond or USS Jeremy Clarkson.

Ha, if you ever get a really big ship you should totally name it the USS Colossus. Of course that would make quite a few enemy players shooting all over you trying to find your weak spot.

There are a few Gentleman's Clubs with that name as well.

[ramjam380]

I've always thought that there should be more in-canon references in ship naming, and many modern warships are named after famous leaders or commanders. Some that I'm considering are:

USS Nechayev
USS Robert April
USS William Ross
USS Hiram Roth
USS Jaresh-Inyo

I'm kind of uncertain about including the first names, but I figure it'll make the names stand out more in the game.

[LeieSistal]

My ship would be called :
USS-StarDust
USS-Centen
USS-SunTrust
USS-Charitisse
USS-Boine
and I have many more

[Capt_Dracon_Darknight]

Since we are already at it...
Do you have to put U.S.S. before the name if you want it to be shown or does it appear automatically?
Furthermore, Can we also use the 'traditional font' for the Ships name?
Aem and well will there be a seeable NCC - Number?'

For my Ships names:

U.S.S. Dreadnaught
U.S.S Caliburn
U.S.S Stheno

[Jezstr]

Mine will most likely be the USS Yggdrasil.

[Derel]

USS Justice
NCC-5308

[KashikoiBaka]

Since you can choose the NCC number I may just have to go with NCC-1337. That is original right?

[Veilwalker]

depending on what kind of ship..but..

USS Bujinkan

USS Shadowflight

and this name for whatever my biggest ship will be..
USS Force Rain

[Corehaven22]

Yes.....the nightmare has begun. :(

[jamzgub]

youve got to go with the usual

StarFleet captains don't loot.

[KashikoiBaka]

StarFleet captains don't loot.

Star Fleet Captains aren't supposed to loot.

[NicPre]

I like it, a little dark since I'm not the role-model good guy. But I get the job done without violating the Prime Directive.... Too many times, that is.

I'm a perception-class experimental prototype (hence the NX-71101 "Navy Experimental")

I wish Gene Rodenberry would have given us guidelines when using the numbers associated with our ship name. Instead he named the 1701 after the house across the street from his childhood.

Anyone have any better method?

-np-

[MKIceman]

I would hope that the NCC registry is assigned by the game, since it should be a record count of unique names and all...

[the_reaper87]

Star Fleet Captains aren't supposed to loot.

Shhhhh!!

If more people think that there not meant to loot, it means more for us. Keep it on the down low.



On a entirely unrelated not, the spell check said Shhhhh!! was spelled wrong, and that the correct spelling was Chihuahua.:confused:
I'm not the only one here who doesn't see the connection?

[Arcturus]

U.S.S Dragoon

U.S.S. Indefatigable

U.S.S Exeter

[skywolf]

I hope that Cryptic will allow STO to have multiples of the same name like Champions does. That way everyone will be happy. Well, except the psycho "canonists", they are never happy.

If STO does not allow multiple names, then I will keep my ship name until the game comes out :D.

[belljack95]

It would seem logical that multiple ship names would be allowed, based on the number of people who could be playing the game. I also hope they allow multiple captain names as well and go with something like having the server assign a unique Service Number as a unique identifier so that we can avoid having to come up with a unique character name to play.

That way each person can create a character and name their ship.

As for ship names I like to select a name from famous battles such as: Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Cannae, Anzio, Waterloo, Balaclava or Ypres. Also famous warships of the past are a good choice: Yamamoto, Bismarck, Hood, Ark Royal, Littorio, Black Swan, Yorktown or Hornet.

[Beaver8]

Well I guess I will follow the same format.

USS-National.......Cruiser

USS-Brooks.........Cruiser

USS-Empathy........Medical

USS-Napalm.....Battleship

USS-Blitz.....Battleship

USS-Roddenberry (kidding)

Klingon ships that didn't sound like a sneeze.

Hullcracker.....Battleship

Rupture......Battleship

Stitch........Medical

Exultance...Cruiser

Torrid...Cruiser

Although I will keep my ship names unknown so nobody ganks my thoughs RAWR!!!! But nobody would even think to use them anyways lol :p

[Paratus6]

The Fleet that I'm a member of has a naming convention for our ships. Not a hard and fast rule, mind you, just kind of a general suggestion to help with identifying ourselves to others and is supportive of our theme. Therefore, we generally name our ships after cities, landmarks, famous persons, and other things and events which are tied to the great State of Texas.
Some examples...
USS Dallas
USS Houston
USS Comanche (local Native American tribe)
USS Rio Grande (the river which forms the border between Texas and Mexico)
USS San Jacinto (the site of the final battle between Texans and the Mexican Army, which secured Texas independance)
USS Nimitz (the WWII Pacific Fleet Admiral, who was born and raised in my home town in Texas)
USS Crockett (David "Davy" Crockett, famous early American Pioneer and US Congressman who left the US to help fight the war of independance in the Texas Territory. He died in the Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio)
We have dozens more.
We are also planning on calling our Starbase/Fleetyard "Alamo Station".
Other "themed" Fleets will likely do something similar.

I'm hoping that the Devs will create a system which will mark each ship with a unique registration, and leave the naming convention fairly open and repeatable.
I also hope that they have some kind of naming filter to prevent Players from naming their ships with the kind of names that most of us don't want to see...like some of the ones posted in this thread...as well as canon ships like the Enterprise.

[Super_Goku]

Hmm I would have to go with U.S.S. Tengu

Greetings, I personnaly think that we shouldnt be able to name our ships, but take what Starfleet gives us, to avoid 100 ships named Enterprise or ships being named by children and idiots like, USS UGOTPWNED, are you kidding me, grow up. People that do **** like that ruin the game for the rest of us.

[Evertras]

Yeah, that does have a nice ring to it! I'm gonna name mine: USS ThatWasLame. When I pop anyone out of the sky that's exactly what they're gonna say anyway so I might as well make it so its my ship they call out as they go down!

My arena team in WoW is named "You seem angry" for that exact reason. :)

I can definitely see naming restrictions in general being useful and possibly even necessary (I wouldn't want to see USS UGOTPWNED either), but I would hate to get a prefabricated name. If I didn't like it for some reason it would bother me constantly.

The most I'd accept in that direction would be a "randomize" button with pregenerated and "approved" names that I could choose from until I got one I was happy with.

[captaingabrielle]

USS Masamune.

[Rahyuht]

I'm not sure yet.Unsure of character name also.I want It different this time around.I feel as If I'm gonna play this game for a long time.Longer even as SWG & that was 5 years.So I'm thinking everything over this time around.

well, this could be avoided pretty simple - say you get a new shipclass, theres a few with different names but of the same class to choose from, like for example how they did it in SFC 3.
but i would prefer a randomize-button more aswell.

PS: but i could live with a set name of a ship, since its the crew that matters, and we are totally free to customize them.

I agree. Name filters rarely work, and after the first million reported names I'm sure the GMs stop bothering to care.

Like a list of acceptable names? It'd have to be a pretty long list... adjectives like Defiant and nouns like Willpower and all those fitting names... and you could use names of places and mythology too... but it'd take a while to create a list big enough.

But if they did such a thing I hope there'd be a search function so if you could see if there was an available and acceptable name you thought of.

[Captain_Valrek]

I dont know about my starting ship, but one of them will be named USS-Patton (An Akira-Class I hope)

[TerranRich]

It's going to be fun trying to immerse myself into the universe of Star Trek with other players using goofy ship names like the USS Poopypants or USS Imalittleteapotshortandstout. :D

I might go with a historical figure's last name, preferably someone from Trek canon... maybe the USS Soong or the USS Decker or something along those lines.

[OokieSpookie]

I am always odd about not posting names and whatnot before I actually make the character mainly because I am always sure that they will be grabbed :D

I wish there was a way to reserve a name early but that would be a database nightmare.

[vtack]

USS More Powerful Than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and the Incredible Hulk Put Together.

Ok but seriously though I've batted around a few names. I'm thinking of the USS Michigan, USS Raleigh (I love the places I've lived) or perhaps something more prosaic the USS Icarus.... I don't know I haven't landed on "a keeper" yet.

[OokieSpookie]

Upon thinking about this, I honestly hope that you do not get to name your ship in the beginning.
It should be something you earn, something prestigious and mean something.
I do not want to see every noob who makes an account to try the game polluting the game with the USS Yourmama , USS IEXPLOREDSPOCKSMOMSDELTAQUADRANT, or USS PWNN00BZ ...

That is a brilliant idea, and the fear you brought up is one that I share as well. It's a sad fact that there are going to be so many goofy n00bish names like USS Youeatshoes or USS Klingonkilla. I agree that the privilege of choosing the name for your ship should be earned... or at least allowed once you've passed a maturity test to see how childish the player really is. ;)

[blueamdgamer]

Greetings, if some people would like to stay with the story line an Star Trek theme, Star Fleet should be the one naming your ship and you get assigned to it just like on the show when Captain Picard was assigned the USS Enterprise, you never herd him stay to Star Fleet, "hey I want to change the name of the ship" take what you get and be happy and make it home.

In that case I put forward that we break away from the Federation and create a new ruling order with me at it's head. Where you'll be free to name and re-name your ship as often as you like.

Hmmmm

[Spade0]

I think where going to see all types of ship names. Yes the Good and the Bad. My only idea would be to have to send your ship name via in-game to be looked over by some Cryptic staff member to approve it but that’s a horrible idea. That’s a waste of time and a Job. The best they will be able to come up with is a filter to stop as many people from using cuss words or canon names for their ship. It's that or a random name generator and no one wants that!

[lionbush]

I think a filter will suffice to start. Then if there are any of Cryptics staff in game and they encounter a ship name that doesn't really belong, they can force the player to change it. Maybe even a reporting system for really immature names like 'Itsux' or 'Pwned'. I hate those expressions at the best of times so to see a Starfleet vessel flying around displaying such will grate!

I have no problem with younger people playing the game at all, the more the merrier, but I hope they either have the sense to play it properly withing the universe or the devs keep tight reigns on acceptability.

WoW has rules about naming your character, one of which forbids names with leet-speak. This game should have that rule as well.

That would be nice but you do get to keep your old ship, so I don't know if you'll be able to carry the name forward without renaming the old one, if you can even do that in the first place.

As for names I always go tohttp://www.behindthename.com/ to pick mine. That way you can reduce or increase the irony when it comes to naming your ships or even your characters.

yes .. I agree . the old ship would have to be renamed IF we waned to "transfer" the name to our new ship.

[Citationpilot]

Yeah I believe to reuse a name in good maritime tradition the predecessor must have been decommissioned or destroyed. I could see turning a blind eye if its a single server setup and good names are hard to come by. Plus if you started out with a Miranda and named it something foolish would you really want to keep that name when you get to your epic sovereign?

The big question is will other ships be able to have the same name, and will non-standard letters and symbols be allowed? I would rather deal with someone having the same name than be unable to read half the servers names due to a players lack of originality.

Honestly when I see another ship I'd like the top display box to be "Capt. so-and-so" and the second display line be of the, "U.S.S. whatever". That way if people have similar or the same ship names you can distinguish them and exact your revenge on the proper culprit.

I'm sure this topic has been thoroughly debated at Cryptic so I'm sure their system will be solid.

We had one dev talking about reserving their ship name before the game releases, logic would suggest that ship names will remain, unique so to speak.

[oD_Guardian]

If this game allows for multiple characters then I have a couple character based ship names but I'm not giving those out. As for generic names I have a couple I plan on using:
USS Shadow Chaser
USS Eclipse
USS Vanguard
USS Saucy Mare(as an homage to ReBoot)

I have plenty more but it all depends on weather or not the name fits the ship in my eyes.

[deerang]

I would name my ship U.S.S. Lawliet. There is a reason for my choice of screen name thus the same goes for my ship name. My favoite fictional character, L Lawliet. May he rest in peace. If that is taken, however, maybe something like U.S.S. Valient would be good. :)

[GorgeousGeorge]

Mine will be the "USS Cthulhu" since I am a fan of the mythos.

On another thought,people are worried about if you can have 2 ships with the same name, and I realised something.

Kirk had Enterprise, then in Generations that other guy had Enterprise-B, then Picard had Enterprise-D, and when that was destroyed they gave him Enterprise-E. So I think it would be perfectly acceptable in the canon to have, using my ship's name as an example, Cthulhu-B or maybe Cthulhu II and use Roman numerals. Ok, so typically with something like Enterprise-B/C/D/E, the previous model must be out of comission but for the purposes of STO, it would be more than acceptable.

Names for my ships. Well, USS French Lick is my first choice. (Sorry in advance to anyone who lives/comes from that Town)

Other worthy names include

USS Xenophilia

USS Funny It Worked Last Time

and

USS Is that a big torpedo you have in your OPEN weapon ports or are you just pleased to see me.

It'd be neat if you could add letters to your additional ships. LIke if my Miranda class was the U.S.S. Bell, then my Excelsior or Galaxy class would be U.S.S. Bell-A, etc. Should be optional though.

I dont think that multiple ships with the same name should be a problem. Cryptic stated that we would be able to choose our own name and registry#. If by some really small chance two ships with the same name and registry#(which I highly doubt will happen)occurs then something like Enterprise-A and then -B should happen.

Thats just my take on it.

I only plan on naming my ships (depending on class) official names and registrys via any tech manuals or online sources. Not making any name sup. That is just me. But i have a feeling, names are gonna be a non-issue, and won't even matter much, except to the player himself.

I have been playing EvE lately, and the name of the charater shows up before the ships name does. I think it may be like that in STO. I hope not, as ship names are an important aspect of Trek.
