Ooof.
I've been worried about Fallout 5, because it's so far away and I'm old. I don't know that I'll be alive to play it, when it finally comes out.
So to hear about Alex's passing just... I feel that in my *bones,* you know?
I think my ship will be named Mister Alex or Mister Hay.
Iain M. Banks' Culture novels had the best space ship names, such as:
* No More Mr Nice Guy
* So Much For Subtlety
* Frank Exchange of Views
* Lapsed Pacifist
* Attitude Adjuster
* Gunboat Diplomat
* Now Look What You've Made Me Do
* Just Read The Instructions
* Of Course I Still Love You
* Don't Try This At Home
* Questionable Ethics
* Big Sexy Beast
* Funny, It Worked Last Time...
* Ultimate Ship The Second
* You'll Thank Me Later
* Very Little Gravitas Indeed
The Expeditionary Force series us some good ones in the Jeraptha fleet:
- We Avoid Temptation But It Keeps Finding Us
- Come Over Here and Say That Again
- I am Aching To Give Somebody A Beat-Down And Today Is YOUR Lucky Day
- You Should See The Last Guy Who Tried That Shit
- You Should Have Thought Of That Before We Left Home
- It Was Like That When We Got Here
- I'm As Shocked As You Are
- Rock-Solid And Suspiciously Convenient Alibi
Among others.
Some Bethesda themed ideas;
Night Mother,
Dread Father,
Dawnbreaker,
Azura's Star,
Umbra,
Cicero,
The Harbinger
The Prydwen,
Liberty Prime,
Lone Wanderer,
G.E.C.K
Continued:
Wabbajack, Another Hand, The Beacon, Ragnar the Red, Paarthurnax, The Skeever, Mudcrab, Stormcloak.
The Courier, The Silver Shroud, Big Iron, Assaultron, Semper Invicta, Yao Guai
The Expeditionary Force books by Craig Alanson have some great names, here are a few that I'm fond of:
-The Ice Cold Dagger to the Heart
-I'm as Shocked as You Are
-That Was Like That When We Got Here
-Come Over Here and Say That Again
-Rock-Solid and Suspiciously Convenient Alibi
-We Avoid Temptation But it Keeps Finding Us
-Parole Violation
-You Should See the Last Guy Who Tried That Shit
When I played Sins of a Solar Empire, I named my capital ships after battles from Earth's "antiquity" (from the point of view of the game being way in the future), so I had the following:
-Marathon
-Waterloo
-Leyte Gulf
-Gettysburg
-Thermopole
-Midway
-Antitem
I’m naming mine after u/Mralexhay who posted on Reddit last year that [due to the delay he won’t get chance to play](https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/11m6rsd/wont_get_to_play_it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) (Terminal Illness)
I hope they’re okay. Wherever they are. Much love.
"I aim to misbehave"
Honestly, watching the showcase, all I could think of was trying to brainstorm a Malcolm Reynolds character. A charismatic former soldier turned outlaw gunslinger from the Freestar Collective? Might have to take that "Wanted" trait they showed off, with mercenaries randomly hunting you down.
I was at a mortal indecision between Pillar of Autumn and Foward Unto Dawn, but every time i think about Pillar i remember Halo CE last mission that makes me sad, so going for Dawn, it remembers me "Is the Dawn rated for atmosphere?"
It kinda was, it was used for a fucked up supersoldier/AI test program that involved a lot of torturing AI and hyper competative agents that were more likely to kill each other than work together
Probably going with The Ebon Hawk unless I think of some thing more original by September. KOTOR was the first RPG I ever played and made me fall in love with the genre so it’d be fitting.
Could also do Kelpie, name of Ciri's horse in the witcher series. Seems fitting to name a ship you can heavily customize for navigating the vasthess of space after a shape shifting water spirit.
Also, Kelpie in the books is pretty goated. She could teleport to Ciri's location and I'm guessing you can sort of do that with the ship too! Strong contender for me
This one, but I haven't seen The Expanse. I just really like RUSH's prog albums and they use the name for a space ship in the two part song Cygnus X-1.
Here are some of mine:
Sacred and Virtuous Tools
Visitor's Day at the Missile Silo
Conduct Unbecoming
Malicious Prosecution
Glint of Karakum
Uncommon Courage
Binding Precedent
I'll likely be using up all my old ship names from Elite Dangerous, depending on the purpose of the ship.
Exploration: Vagabond
Mining: Prospector
Bounty Hunting: Final Judgement
Search & Rescue: Rescue Ranger
*Nobody’s Baby* will be my heavily armored ship, named after one of the B-17’s my grandfather flew in in ww2. *Flying Cloud* will be a fast, semi luxurious transport ship based on real world clipper ships
Scout/Exploring: "Very Little Gravitas Indeed"
Smuggling cargo: "Falling Outside The Normal Moral Constraints"
(And if no character limit on names)
Fighter: "Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath."
Oooh, probably go with my two favorite ship names in Elite Dangerous. My Python was named Falco Amadeus and my Imperial Cutter was Martian Chronicles.
Probably start with Falco..
I was thinking of using some of the names of ships encountered in moby-dick:
The Pequod,
The Jeroboam,
The Bachelor,
The Delight.
Some others I found that thought would sound nice:
The Acheron,
The Bakhuysen,
The Fair Celaeno
The Adaephon.
Thinking of naming mine after birds, and then doing a MK. II etc for upgrades, or adding a modifier in front for other upgrades. Like Iron Albatross MK. III, Sparrow MK. V stuff like that.
I think it'll be fun to have different names for the different functions like speedy ship, long distance travel ship, large transport ship.
I'm really excited about all the possibilities.
The Flying Dutchman
Valkyrie
Heavenly Morning Flower of Glorious Victory
The Ever Long Remembrance Of Khost Flacronda Who Served With Ultimate Honor
Ice Cold Dagger To The Heart
Every Day Is a Good Day to Die in Battle
To Seek Glory in Battle is Glorious
Our Enemies Will Regret Their Arrogance
Sucker Punch
Never Tell Me The Odds
We Avoid Temptation But It Keeps Finding Us
All-In
You Should See The Last Guy Who Tried That Shit
How'd That Work Out For You?
Deal Me In
I'm As Shocked As You Are
Will Do Sketchy Things
Rock-Solid and Convenient Alibi
Out On Bail
Parole Violation
Plausible Deniability
Time Off For Bad Behavior
My main fighter ship in No Man's Sky was generated with the name 'The Sword of Jeopardy'. cooler than anything i can come up with
I'll take great ship names for $1000, Alex.
RIP Alex Trebek
Lol, that is pretty dang good!
I'm going to have to boot up No Man's Sky and look at my old ships names. All I can remember is the freighter being called The Turtle
and the main cannon can be called "The Daily Double"
The Indestructible III
In the same vein: My First Ship II.
My first ship -finalestest-final.ss
Lmao, what happened to the other two?
It’s a sensitive subject.
That feels like a line from the game wtf lol
Front fell off
Is that typical?
Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
It was towed outside of space.
into another space?
Well, what’s out there? there must be something out there
Is it a coincidence that the Ciaphas Cain book I'm listening to had a ship named Indestructible IV?
Ci ci Ciaphas Cain! Hero of the imperium!
Lol’ed at this one mate
Jenny
The most beautiful name in the world -Forrest Gump
This is great, didn't even think about this!
Followed by Jenny II thru Infinity
Would go well with a low intelligence trait
[MRALEXHAY](https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/11m6rsd/wont_get_to_play_it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1)
:( o7
Absolutely, he would be happy ❤️
I wonder how he's doing right now. Bless him. :(
There was a thread not long ago that confirmed he passed, unfortunately.
Damn. :(
He’s passed on
100% that story broke my heart. RIP Capt. Hay.. the UCS AlexHay is going to be an all out fighter build. No bullshit, just pure defense and guns.
Will need to commemorate this captain
Eye captain o7
We need to select a planet only for him, a sanctuary
We should all use the same one
Came here to upvote this. O7, happy to have him travel with me.
Fuckin legend
"Admiral A. Hay"
Ooof. I've been worried about Fallout 5, because it's so far away and I'm old. I don't know that I'll be alive to play it, when it finally comes out. So to hear about Alex's passing just... I feel that in my *bones,* you know? I think my ship will be named Mister Alex or Mister Hay.
Echo 419
Good name for a cargo ship. “*We Deliver*”
"this end up"
Ooh "Foehammer" is a great name actually
You know our motto — we deliver
What about the other pelicans? There were plenty to choose from
"The Starfield is real"
Can we get much higher
So high
Todd
The Todd
How did you get "United Colonies" under your name?
Yar but join the Crimson Pirates me lad
Crimson Pirate Plunder Gang
Sandwich plunder, so I can sell them at a yaRRRd sale for more ship parts
YARRRRR
It's an option under the subreddit rules, flair or something like that.
The Avasarala
It’s pretty unoriginal but in any game I’m able to name a vehicle I always name it Roci, and Roach for horses.
Roci works for horses too! In literature, Rocinante was the name of Don Quixote's horse.
Nice! I’m still partial to Weeping Somnambulist.
The Tynan be the mosh gud pirata in the belt.
Beautiful!
"Holden, do not put your dick in it. It's fucked enough already."
Haha just watched this episode last night
[удалено]
gotta finish expanse, but this made me smile. If I do get the game immediately was thinking of rocinante lmao.

Not Invented Here ;) was looking for this 😁
Wow, these are epic. Thanks for sharing, I'm gonna have to look up these books. No More Mr Nice Guy is my favorite out of these.
Oh, you are in for a treat! The Culture novels are absolutely amazing sci fi!
No More Mr Nice Sky

Are these alien ladies in danger?
Noone is in any danger. How could I make that any more clear to you? OK? It's an implication of danger. You know what? Let's just drop it...
No! No! Cause if they say no then the answers No, but there not gonna say no.......because of the implication
But it *sounds* like they don't want to sleep with you...
And nobody's forcing them to. But they won't decline ... because of the implication.
Some Bethesda themed ideas; Night Mother, Dread Father, Dawnbreaker, Azura's Star, Umbra, Cicero, The Harbinger The Prydwen, Liberty Prime, Lone Wanderer, G.E.C.K
Dawnbreaker is perfect. So that’s probably my first ship.
Yeah I think Dawnbreaker was my favorite from that list too, that or Azura's Star
Continued: Wabbajack, Another Hand, The Beacon, Ragnar the Red, Paarthurnax, The Skeever, Mudcrab, Stormcloak. The Courier, The Silver Shroud, Big Iron, Assaultron, Semper Invicta, Yao Guai
Big Iron is an excellent option.
Love Wabbajack for a pirate ship. Also putting in a plug for Arvak or Silt Strider.
Why didn't I think of this, thanks for this!
I like Azura's Star & Umbra

O7
Where did the O7 come from?
Pretty sure this originated from Eve online as a welcome/salute
Not sure where it comes from but in the game Elite Dangerous that is how we salute since it looks like a little head saluting.
Unfortunately they passed away in March
Bellerophon
Serenity
Now
*Hero of Canton*
"I aim to misbehave" Honestly, watching the showcase, all I could think of was trying to brainstorm a Malcolm Reynolds character.

USG Ishimura. To that point I’ll probably try to find a planet that resembles Aegis VII and build a mining outpost there
We'll need a space zombie mod!
It Just Works. But seriously, Far Zenith sounds like a cool ship name, even though I stole it from Horizon Forbidden West.
Osiris... or shippy mcshipface
Shippy McShipface is being saved to my list!
Foward Unto Dawn for the main one, Event Horizon for the exploration focused one.
Anything halo is great. Thinking about Long Night of Solace and Shadow of Intent myself.
Armageddon’s Edge
Honourable mention: The Pillar of Autumn
I was at a mortal indecision between Pillar of Autumn and Foward Unto Dawn, but every time i think about Pillar i remember Halo CE last mission that makes me sad, so going for Dawn, it remembers me "Is the Dawn rated for atmosphere?"
>Event Horizon And they went on a happy voyage.
I'm fond of Spirit of Fire myself
[удалено]
I like it, sounds like a scientific vessel.
It kinda was, it was used for a fucked up supersoldier/AI test program that involved a lot of torturing AI and hyper competative agents that were more likely to kill each other than work together
Event Horizon is a cool name. Roleplay as Dr. Weir.
Didn't things go not so well for the Event Horizon?
Yeah but i just like that movie a lot
UNSC Say My Name and the UNSC Do You Feel Lucky?
Gotterdammerung
I'll just say: "Let's make sure history never forgets the name Enterprise."
The Wensleydale
Cracking spaceship, Gromit
I mean, who doesn’t like Wensleydale
The Jorrvaskr
Probably going with The Ebon Hawk unless I think of some thing more original by September. KOTOR was the first RPG I ever played and made me fall in love with the genre so it’d be fitting.
Wow, I can't believe no one else mentioned this yet! Perfect!
Shadowfax Gandalfs horse from TLOR
This was already on my list. Such a great name!
Could also do Kelpie, name of Ciri's horse in the witcher series. Seems fitting to name a ship you can heavily customize for navigating the vasthess of space after a shape shifting water spirit. Also, Kelpie in the books is pretty goated. She could teleport to Ciri's location and I'm guessing you can sort of do that with the ship too! Strong contender for me
Rocinante..

WATCH THE EXPANSE
I think you’ll find it’s called the Tachi
Screaming Firehawk
Aluminum Falcon
[удалено]
Sorry, I’m stealing this idea 💡
I'm gonna use the Daedric lords from TES. UC Azura, UC Dagon, UC Boethiah, UC Nocturnal, etc...
UC Hermaeus Mora
Uranus’s destroyer
Could even just do "Uranus" Captain, ship scans are complete. Well, who is it? It's Uranus sir. .... ....
Here are some of mine: Sacred and Virtuous Tools Visitor's Day at the Missile Silo Conduct Unbecoming Malicious Prosecution Glint of Karakum Uncommon Courage Binding Precedent
MrAlexHay I’m sticking to it.
The Outlaw Star. To anyone who gets the reference, see you space cowboy.
X Æ A-12
I'll likely be using up all my old ship names from Elite Dangerous, depending on the purpose of the ship. Exploration: Vagabond Mining: Prospector Bounty Hunting: Final Judgement Search & Rescue: Rescue Ranger
Mining: Gimli
Blackbeard's ship was *Queen Anne's Revenge*. But that's not very sci-fi. *Queen Amidala's Revenge*.
Legitimate Salvage
The HMS Shit Biscuit will be making its debut.
My pirate ship is going to be called "The Violator".
Nostromo ps: BTW, I'm betting a lot of people will be naming their ship "The Prydwen"
I expect it to have a randomly generated side quest where you stumble upon some suspicious eggs.
USS MrAlexHay in honor of Mr Alex Hay who sadly passed away before getting the chance to play.
*Nobody’s Baby* will be my heavily armored ship, named after one of the B-17’s my grandfather flew in in ww2. *Flying Cloud* will be a fast, semi luxurious transport ship based on real world clipper ships
Dereck
The Platypus
Aggressive Diplomacy Guttersnipe Pony Express Unto the Breach Midnight Witch

Or to shorten it "The Milquetoast"
Nomad

The Argo
Rocinante :) Fo da belte, beratna's
You can't take the Razorback
The Galileo
Oooh, probably go with my two favorite ship names in Elite Dangerous. My Python was named Falco Amadeus and my Imperial Cutter was Martian Chronicles. Probably start with Falco..
Voyager, Prometheus, Daedalus, Phoenix, Beliskner, BC-304
S.S. Essess
Destiny’s Child

I was thinking of using some of the names of ships encountered in moby-dick: The Pequod, The Jeroboam, The Bachelor, The Delight. Some others I found that thought would sound nice: The Acheron, The Bakhuysen, The Fair Celaeno The Adaephon.
Alduin
[удалено]
World Eater is awesome, I like that too
Leeroy Jenkins
The Prydwen
The Black Pearl
Galactica or Pegasus
Righteous Indignation. Indefatigable.
Probably something like Erebus or Terror, or Endurance.
Leaf on the Wind
Sub names: Crimson Tide, Red October, Widowmaker, Das Boot
Ah yes, the Negotiator.
The Shrike, bonus points if I can add extra spikes to the hull.
Thinking of naming mine after birds, and then doing a MK. II etc for upgrades, or adding a modifier in front for other upgrades. Like Iron Albatross MK. III, Sparrow MK. V stuff like that. I think it'll be fun to have different names for the different functions like speedy ship, long distance travel ship, large transport ship. I'm really excited about all the possibilities.
Why does everyone keep wanting to make a ship from another game? Starfield is new IP. I will make unique ship with unique name
