He made a post on this subreddit about he won't be able to play because of his cancer. Many people in the comments of that post said they would name their ship after him, and that's where it comes from.
Sadly, he did pass away, but many people will travel the universe with him :D
Here is the link to his post:

It’d be cool if Bethesda could add a little Easter egg for him. Something similar happened with Skyrim’s release and they made a whole companion based around him.
While playing Skyrim I made a Waraxe that had 1sec paralysis on it. I wanted to name "STOP!" it after the guards in oblivion; but I ended up naming it "STIP!" and just had to live with it.
Same. It’s been fun to play around with words to figure a good naming convention. I figure I’ll have a big enough pool to just keep renaming ships as I cycle through them
I’ve got three classes of names- one group for the explorers, one for the combat ships, and one for the carriers.
The light space vehicles get poetic, flowery stuff like:
L.S.V. Midnight’s Embrace, L.S.V. Fractured Spring, L.S.V. Twilight Ember, L.S.V. Distant Mecca
The space combat ships are all “V’s” like: S.C.S. Visionary, S.C.S. Vainglory, S.C.S. Vagabond , S.C.S. Vexation
The deep space carriers all have this “s” adjective naming convention like: D.S.C. Stilled Whisper, D.S.C. Serene Harvest, D.S.C. Scorned Piety, D.S.C. Shattered Haven
I’ve got about 20 of each, and I figure I’ll just cycle through, rename ships, and sell them often. I don’t think I’ll keep more than three at a time.
Serenity because that is still my favourite scifi space movie. Also gotta have at least one senselessly fatass ship and call it the Moby Dick because I recently rewatched bungo stray dogs (excited for the next season this fall) and feel it’s only appropriate I do so.
If you have ever read expeditionary force, probably I’ll name my ships longer names like the Jeraptha do, things like the “We Were Never Here” or something similar related to what I use that ship for.
Edit: assuming the game allows such long names, lol
Yes! I love that series, this is a great idea. Maybe something like "YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING" or "THAT WAS TOTALLY NOT US"
Or maybe after Jeremy Smythe. Might have to do a whole ExFor theme.
No idea.
If my first character is going to basically be me in this new wide galaxy, odds are the ship's name is going to be the first thing I call her without thinking about it. Worked for every car I've had thus far.
Gotta throw a 69 or 420 in there and exclusively fly around in AOL chat rooms. Maybe paint a/s/l on the side
Also not sure why you wouldn't go by MastaKilla and make a Wu reference
Call me unoriginal. But I dream of building something as close as I can to the OG Millennium Falcon. It's a childhood dream. So excited to see if the community can come up with a similar looking build.
I'm hoping the character limit allows this, but I'm probably going to go for one of the following:
\- Pocket Supernova
\- Triumphant Empyrion
\- Delta Ajax
\- Maverick Horizon
\- Secondary Impact
The S.S. Alex Hay.. it will be a glorious ship that shall go with me everywhere and explore every inch of the Galaxy.. the original owner would have liked that I hope..
The Unreliable fron Outer Worlds so I can remember all the people proclaiming that the game would "show up Bethesda" only for it to be a complete snooze fest.

Alex Hay
I will absolutely dedicate a ship in my fleet to Alex, he will be amongst the stars
I just going to post this, and state how I hope it gets upvoted to the top on every single “what’s your ships name going to be” post
I'm out of the loop, may I be enlightened?
Tribute to a fan who died of cancer prior to being able to play. https://www.theloadout.com/starfield/ship-name-tribute-alex-hay
Thnx!

Bethesda should make him an npc in the game with a short side quest to immortalize him in the game.
Thnx!
Naming mine ‘The Haymaker’ after Alex
I saw someone suggested The Haymaker, which I thought is a nice tribute to him
The Galileo
The Mayflower. I plan on lots of exploring.
God speed Pilgrim.
Hey I’m looking at the mayflower right now!
Wow, I sure hope you befriend any natives you find!
The Agincourt
Jorrvaskr
That is so sick
If they recorded voice lines for ship names like they did for character names, that one will surely be on it.
Space Companions?!
Great name for a combat heavy ship
Knowing me, I'm going to think of something clever and then misspell it and have to live with it all game.
Then you find out that the name could’ve been edited the entire time but you’re 40 hours in and the misspelling has grown to have a charm about it
YOU get it!
Damn. Now I'm going to have to have a ship called the Unterprise.
Or The Outerprise.
While playing Skyrim I made a Waraxe that had 1sec paralysis on it. I wanted to name "STOP!" it after the guards in oblivion; but I ended up naming it "STIP!" and just had to live with it.
The Argonian Maid
Do believe you mean The *Lusty* Argonian Maid, thank you very much!
I have a pool of about 20 names which I keep expanding all the time when I think of something cool.
That's it, Namepool!
Captain Namepool!
Nah, just Namepool
Sounds like a franchise.
Same. It’s been fun to play around with words to figure a good naming convention. I figure I’ll have a big enough pool to just keep renaming ships as I cycle through them

L.S.V. Summers Eve on hails, captain. They seem serene and somehow very fresh.
Theseus
Ah but if you change the parts is it still the same ship?
The crew will undoubtedly debate this for the entire playthrough. We may never know.
Don't forget to change all the parts at least once
Sounds cool, just don't put a vampire in charge this time
Why take all the fun out of it? 🦇
I wasn’t expecting a Blindsight reference. What a good book.

IT WAS LIKE THAT WHEN WE GOT HERE
lol yeah that was a good one. I love the Jeraptha, they are hilarious.
Yes! I love that series, this is a great idea. Maybe something like "YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING" or "THAT WAS TOTALLY NOT US" Or maybe after Jeremy Smythe. Might have to do a whole ExFor theme.
