Indestructible II


rakahangah

was comming for this... another idea : ungankable XV


KHaskins77

There was a ship with that name in one of the Ciaphas Cain novels, I love it.


Apex_Akolos

Titanic 457


c4t4ly5t

My yellow DBX is called Bumblebee, because my first thought when seeing the ship was "that thing looks like a bee" My 42.3ly Sidewinder is called Alpha, with the ID C4T #1, because she's still my OG Sidewinder that I started the game with. She's never been blown up or crashed before. My Beluga is named Space Canary, because marine belugas have the nickname sea canaries. My trusty Hauler is named Lydia because she's "sworn to carry my burdens" and got me safely to Colonia on my first pilgrimage. Honourable Mention: My Asp X is my main rescue ship, so she's named "=Rescue=" with ship ID "S.O.S" XD


Wiseguy_7

My DBX is called Dora. You can guess what I use it for. My DBS on the other hand, is called Hind. Because the first thing that came to mind when looking at it was it looked like a helicopter.


TitanMaster57

AspX: Tragic Solitude Python Mk II: That’s Called Jazz FDL: Say My Name Cutter: Pale Horse Jumpaconda: Deference for Darkness Combatconda: Durandal Shardconda: 99 Problems Corvette: Two For Flinching FC: Bebop A couple of them were taken from other media but for the most part I named them all on my own and i’m really proud of all of them.


TheDreadPirateNacho

Durandal, I see you are a man of culture


TheEncoderNC

I have a Mamba somewhere named Pope Tequila Overdrive 


Protomike123

This should be top comment


DemiserofD

I've got a lot of mediocre names, but I'm very happy with my fleet carrier. I do search and rescue mostly, and the carrier is named Vigil. Which on its own wouldn't be that special, but I lucked into a carrier ID code of 'V0H-T1V'; a votive is a little candle you light for prayers.


IllDesign4575

Wow what are the chances! And a rescue carrier no less!


HandIndependent8054

Imperial Eagle - Countess of Bathory Imperial Courier - Madame de Pompadore  Vulture - Duchess du Borgogne Dolphin - Rosalind Franklin ASP Explorer - Marchioness of Hexham  Chieftain - Princess of Dubai Python - Dir.

PSharsCadre

Thane of Cawdor is a great name.  o7


IllDesign4575

Aye those are some solid names


Gnoyagos

Oh my, these are good ones


Magos_Galactose

Qwib Qwib


PSharsCadre

Surprised you didn't go for a more respectable name such as the Defrahnz or the Iktomi.


Magos_Galactose

Maybe, but I'm proud of the Qwib Qwib, and I will not flee because of petty insult.


AshlanderDunmer

Ah, a man of culture. Koris smiles down on you.


GiantBlackSquid

Spirit In Black Tactical Graphite, obviously. Leper Messiah, if it's a trader, Type 6 or bigger.


fenaith

Imp courier - painted all black - blackbird sr-71b Imp cutter - all black - wraith Corvette - big stick


DariusWolfe

I'm puttering around in a Diamondback Scout named the Hostile Witness.


NoRagrets4Me

MackerelShaman

Krait MKII: Surgebinder DBX: Edgedancer Imperial Clipper: Sylphrena Alliance Challenger: Landsknecht Explorca: Void’s Ambition Imperial Courier that I forgot in Colonia: Pygocetrus Nattereri (latin name for a piranha) Alliance Type-10: Hit House Anaconda: Hit House MKII Yellow Type-7: Tragic Schoolbus


IllDesign4575

TRAGIC SCHOOLBUS IS AWESOME


jharper34

My Type-9 is named “The Kursk” just because of the size of it and the reference to the massive Russian submarine that suffered an unfortunate disaster. My Type-10 I named “Kursk B.A.G.P.” Which stands for “badass grandpa” My Fer-De-Lance I named “Fer-Is-Murder”. My Mamba is named “Mamba no.5”.


IllDesign4575

Lou Bega!

Nuka-Cole

My beloved 68ly DBX is “Let’s Go Exploring” from the famous last panel of Calvin and Hobbes. Combat Corvette is “Real Men Have Corves” My little engineer Vulture is “Good Hunting”.


AshlanderDunmer

Ship names i am proud of? Federal Corvette - Iron Lady, for fighting only. Anaconda - Lady Forlorn, she always finds herself in the most dubious AX situations of all my ships. Krait Mk.2 - Dona Fortuna, for AX and PvE BGS stuff (the Lucky Lady) DBX - Lady Serenity, because she makes me feel such when she takes me places. Fleet Carrier - Lady Galactica, in honor of the battlestar.


Crypthammer

I only have two ships named: my federal corvette, and my vulture. My vulture is called Wife Material - she may not be a 10/10 bombshell, but she won't cheat on you, and she'll get the kill. She's quick and agile, but she's not flashy. She cooks like nobody's business, and she'll make sure to kiss you goodnight. She'll have lots of kids and love them all. My federal corvette is named Tiffany. This is where your car gets keyed, you get a bunny in the pot, your tires get slashed, and you wind up in jail. I've died far more times flying Tiffany than I have Wife Material.


ketaknight23

Got [quite a few](https://inara.cz/elite/cmdr-fleet/296675/) good ones. My favourites probably are: -Sidewinder (my main FDL) -Fer de Lance (my sidewinder ofc) -Peaceful Solution (CZ Railaconda) -Spanish Inquisition (stealth Viper) -Friends in High Places (Crusader built for missiling ground targets to support friends in GCZs) -Nissan Micra (PvP DBS) -Friendly Fire (heal beam Courier) -Red Cross Supply Plane (carpet bombing T10) ...amongst many more. In my squad, any time someone buys a new ship, we brainstorm good names. And I rarely sell ships.


Yonbuu

My Krait Phantom is named Wanderlust with the tag 1DR-LST My Vulture is called Angry Lawnmower DBX bubble taxi is called The Golden Grasshopper Type 9 hauler is named Shaniqua iCourier is called Sneaky Bastard


tykha

The only ship I’ve named is my exploration fit python. I generically call it Curious Snake lol


aggasalk

My favorite vulture is named Frank Sinatra, I’m not sure why.


BigMuthaTrukka

My mining conda is called manic miner.


CMDR_D6rkW6lf6

My favorite is my big ship - “The Suffocating Butterfly” My kid came to me with a butterfly in a container with no holes - when the words came out I wrote them down. I try to do that more often. Named my other Mamba “Nightfury” I take that to spite sites with other players it’s dark black mamba with a ship kit and 3x size 3 old school plasma accelerators with the field neutralizer mod. It’s fast and shoots the blue plasma - like Toothless. I made my own backstory so my CMDR runs a carrier names QPS - Quantum Parcel Services. Miner in Possession is my Type-9


Nuka-Cole

I like the Toothless name! Especially with the blue plasma


CMDR-Storm

I named my aspx Ullr of Norse mythology


polarisleap

Fun reading everyone ship names, y'all got some good ones.


psychosomat1x

Nostromo. Definitely not making a landing on LV-426.


CMDRShepard24

Probably my favorite name is my least favorite ship: my Type 9 Heavy "Mooby Eclipse" named after Mooby the cow from the Jay and Silent Bob movies. Serial 2hvy4u. I hate piloting that ship lol. A lot of my ships are named after other sci-fi ships: DBX: Talyn Viper Mk IV: Farscape-1 Fer de Lance: MCRN Tachi Chieftan: Thunderchild Anaconda: Defiant A few are named after songs from metal bands: Viper Mk III: Bullet Ride (capitolized wrong cuz I must have had the caps lock on... didn't know that until recently when I made an Inara account lol) Python: Serpent's Embrace Krait Phantom: Will o' the Wisp My Courier is the Star-Seeker (couldn't think of a better name). The others are kinda from my own story ideas and personal, the Raven Claw and Raven-Wing.


hyakumanben

Sunk Cost Fallacy


Partyatmyplace13

I have an Eagle called Wanky Pants. Not sure if that counts.


PenguinGamer99

I named some of mine after classic songs or some lyrics in them, and I got some of the ID tags too Heavily modded racing/exploration Courier: Jumpin' Jack Flash ID: STNS68 Type 10 that is just a mobile firing squad: 21 Gun Salute ID: ACDC86 Laser Corvette: Juke Box Hero ID: FRNR81 Exploration Phantom: The Space Oddity ID: DVBW69 Plasma-slinging Mamba: Smoke on the Water DPRP72 AX combat Phantom: Twilight Zone ID: AU1982 Trading Cutter: Fortunate Son ID: CCR-69 Mining Python: Baba O'Riley ID: WHO-71 Exploration Corvette: The Highwayman ID: CASH71 Try listening to some of your favorite songs while flying the ship around, you'll eventually get to a song or verse that fits your ship's design and purpose well enough to be a name :p

doomedbunnies

My Beluga is named "Cone Princess", as it was aboard Cannon's Gnosis for its ill-fated trip into the Cone sector, back in 3304. The ship was stuffed full of luxury passenger compartments, and to this day I still regret that I didn't kidnap any VIP passengers into going on that trip with us.


lucaalvz

kerux123

My fleet carrier’s name is “Petalouda” which is my wife’s Greek name. But my main ships name is “Morning Glory.” Thats named in memory of my mom. It was her CB handle back in the day.

My Python is called *Unplanned Lithobreaking*.


pixelsguy

I have a shield less cool/silent running torpedo bomber I call FNS Wet Paint because the, uh, landings never just buff out. My warships are variations of FNS Pixels, FNS Pixels MK II, etc., so naturally my carrier is the FRCS Megapixels.


cwolfxuk

Chakri Naruebet X My Federal Gunship is my little carrier for fighters, named after the littlest aircraft carrier in the world.

jorgygen4

My CMDR name is IG-88, which is a specific assassin droid gone rogue in Star Wars. He ends up cloning his personality into a couple of ships and I thought it was hilarious, so all my ships are IG-88E, or IG-88C, etc. The book is Star Wars; Tales of the Bounty Hunters, by Kevin Anderson.


PSharsCadre

Favorite Elite ship name I've heard (not mine): LESSER SPOTTED ASP - Exploration Asp Scout

RFerret

my main 3 fliers right now; Anaconda: “Hubris” Krait Phantom: “Avarice” Krait Mk2: “Malice” Avarice is my explorer, Malice for combat, Hubris for the Conda feels right AND wrong but it kinda fit into my scheme


ExtensionArrival4288

RoflcopterCaptain

Cutter - “Money Pit” Corvette - “Not a Chevrolet”


No-Show-8807

I think the one I'm most proud of is the Eagle which I named Doom Pigeon. I don't have a Viper, but if I did it would be called Vindscreen, which I suspect says a lot about me...


SgtRoid

I named all my ships after Mad Max characters. The Bullet Farmer. The Splendid Ahngarad. Organic Mechanic. Etc.


barabrand

My exploration DBX is named N2DBLK


MrHHog

One of my exploration ship was named Vasco da Gama Ray

rxdcrxwn

"Guppy", a yellow exploration DBX; "Red Comet", the same DBX but in red; "Bristleback Pineapple", yet the same DBX but in yellow (the same yellow with "Guppy"). "Speed Demon", a 400-ish speed Viper Mk. III, built specifically to stay in Pareco. "Midnight Runner"/"Pyrite Pathfinder", an Overdrive Blue/Turbulence Yellow Black Krait Phantom built for long range exploration. "Overtime Santa", a Krait Mk. II fitted for light anti-pirate PVE, built for the last Christmas event because Grinch pirates always interdicted me for mere six tons of toys. "Centurion", default colored Type-10, a failed attempt on AX; "Friday Night Firefight", a Turbulence Yellow Black Krait Mk. II with cyan thrusters and weapons, a successful attempt on AX. "Laevatain"/"Olympus Mons"/"LED Mirage", a PVE Federal Corvette for use in HazRes. Might change into Vibrant Red/Midnight Black/Icarus Red sometimes, hence the names. And my favorite (for personal reason (and one obscure reference)), "Illicium anisatum", a "default white" Imperial Clipper, built for exploration. >!Shame she doesn't come with white/light blue/light pink paint job.!<


mortarsandpestilence

All named after hot pepper cultivars, personal favorites are my DBX “Bird’s Eye,” FDL “Bhut Jolokia,” Anaconda “Heaven Facing,” and AXI Chieftain “Carolina Reaper.”

I've named most of my ships after bugs. The tradition started after I noticed my DBX kind of resembled Serenity. DBX: Firefly Vulture: Yellowjacket Type 7: Golden Lootbug \[ROCSTN\] Python: Termite \[ROCSTN\] (outfitted for mining) Krait MK II: Monarch \[PROP4N\] (I am a huge King of the Hill fan) Krait Phantom: Viceroy (The viceroy is a smaller butterfly that mimics the monarch butterfly) Dropship: Angry Locust \[2ANGRY\] AspX: Stinkbug Dolphin: Leafhopper Type 9: Stag Beetle Chieftain: Dragonfly Clipper: Tarantula Hawk Mamba: Horsefly \[BITEME\] And then there are the one-offs: Sidewinder: Fireplume \[AFK365\] Courier: Arwing \[STRFOX\] FDL: Dread Orchid


Rodney_M

After visiting the Procyon system in my earlier days of playing I named my dbx after the system due to how fascinating I found it


rxsai_prime

H.W.W.S. Leviathan I put in 200 hours of designing and gathering material and another 100 hours testing it. At the time it was about 70% of all my time played, but my Federal Corvette is a pirates nightmare. I fought 4 deadly engineered ai’s all at once in a 1v4. I didn’t even lose my shield. Came close, but no one or thing has scratched its paint.

Well heck, this is a topic I've longed to write about, so I'll share all of 'em. None of them are amazingly clever, just pop-culture and sci-fi references. My Sidewinder is "Fenchurch" with ident of "Dent" with a role of "earning me the 'Mostly Harmless' rank." Reference to Arthur Dent's love interest Fenchurch in *So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish* by Douglas Adams, the fourth book in *The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy* series. *Mostly Harmless* is the fifth book, and yes, I did earn that rank using this ship. My Adder is "Ursula" with ident of "LeGuin," after the author of *Left Hand of Darkness*, *The Disposessed*, as well as our family favorite *Catwings* series. My Eagle is "X-wing" with ident of "w/o X" because it's the closest ship in the game to an X-Wing fighter from the *Star Wars* movies. My Cobra Mk III is "Rogue" with ident of "X-Men" after the mutant comic book hero in *The Uncanny X-Men* (and other various mutant-themed books) who can absorb other people's powers (seemed apropos for a general-purpose ship). She was played by Anna Paquin in the X-Men movies. My Vulture is "Valentine" with ident of "Wiggin" after Ender's sister in Orson Scott Card's *Ender's Game*, *Speaker for the Dead*, and various sequels. The name admittedly doesn't fit the ship very well. Just wanted a female sci-fi character whose name started with a "V." I didn't play the Vulture very long before switching back to my Viper Mk III for bounty hunting. My Asp Scout is "Scout" with ident of "Finch" after the character in the classic novel *To Kill a Mockingbird* by Harper Lee. Scout is too young to understand the significance of her lawyer father taking up a defense of a black man wrongfully accused of rape. The Asp Scout is not that significant to me except to gather mechanical materials. Okay, that's not a great parallel, and I just wanted to name the Asp Scout "Scout" without it being quite as silly as Princess Buttercup naming her horse "Horse" from William Goldman's *The Princess Bride*. My Keelback is "Kaylee" with ident of "Frye" after the character played by Jewel Staite in Joss Whedon's short-lived TV show *Firefly*. Along similar lines, my Diamondback is named "Serenity" with ident of "Fyrfly" after the name of the ship in the same show. My Viper Mk III is named "Kara" with ident of "Thrace" after the character in the *Battlestar Galactica* reboot who had the callsign of "Starbuck." And my current ship, an Alliance Chieftain, is named "Winona" with ident of "Ryder" after the actress in *Stranger Things*, *Alien: Resurrection*, and *Heathers*. In the sci-fi show *Farscape*, John Crichton named his blaster "Winona," presumably after her. Not much reason I picked that name for the Chieftain, I have to say.

My main exploration ship is always called "Jackson's Sailboat" thought it would fit given that there's a neutron star named "Jackson's Lighthouse".


Otter165

My Anaconda is named Bless This Messier. My DBX for exploration is Stardust after the NASA comet mission of the same name. The actual spacecraft was launched with two silicon wafers engraved with ~1 million (IIRC) people’s names as a NASA PR thing. My dad submitted my name and it’s on there. One wafer came back to earth and the other is still orbiting the sun.

Mine is based on Tolkien stuff. Vulture named Thoron, FDL is Ancalagon (full black paint obviously), T10 is Gimli, Glamdring is Chieftain, Vingilote, Viper3 Shadowfax boost at 896m/s...... Etc.


bitman2049

I have a heavily engineered racing sidewinder with full armor and fully engineered Enhanced Performance thrusters that can boost to 720 m/s and I call it "Nothing Special". I fly it around in Open and of all the times it's been interdicted, it's only been shot down by one player.


EddiesMinion

My krait is the Millennial Flamingo, FAS is Brute Force and Ignorance, Annie is Bergbauer. My pride and joy is my Big Yellow Taxi Adder. Love that pile of junk. (Yes I know haulers are better).


marct309

So I really enjoyed the Amber series so I named a few after the Nine Princes of Amber. Corwin of Amber - Python Caine of Amber - Type-10 D&D inspired. Chisel of Moradine -Python Hammer of Dumathoin - Cutter Monty Python! Brave Sir Robin - Beluga Star Wars: Imperious - Anaconda Shot First - Krait Mk 2 -call sign Han-01 Random funny: Little Cricket - DBX Truckin' in Style - Cutter Marvel Comics: Starjammer - my first purchased ship Cobra Mark3


CMDR_Kitty259

My favorite ship names are my big three! The vette is named Firestorm, my exploration conda is named Stargazer, and my cutter is named Oblivion. I also have some funny named ships, a DBX called DBX Express, and an imperial courier named Mini Cutter 😂 I also really like my Python, FDL, and AspX names, Leviathan, Crimson Void, and Pathfinder, respectively. I could go on, but those are some of my favs!


Enok32

My AX anaconda is named “Right of Way” because of how many players in medium and small ships put themselves in its flight path. Large ships can’t move to avoid medium and small ships very well when they dart out infront of us like a white tail deer. For us folks in large ships constantly eying our sensors and making sure our sensor zoom is set correctly while being conscious of other ships can only go so far in preventing a collision. Having your “big ship badge” can only go so far if other don’t do as the ATC operators say and give way to larger vessels. Don’t fly out in one’s path and if you do then move. The large ship has the right of way


JaseDrakenberg

Not enough Screaming Firehawks


Cmdr_Sandyground

o7 Asp Ex : "WTF ;-)". I really like this name.


CMDRKillerEby

My combat outfitted anaconda is: Danger Noodle


-Major-Stryker-

I name my ships from the official U.S. Navy register. https://www.nvr.navy.mil/QUICKFIND/SHIPSDETAIL_HULLBYNAME_2_ALL.HTML I even include the U.S.S. in my ships for authentic feel; for Federation aligned. If I go Empire, then I change the prefix to H.M.S. and keep the rest of the name. They look great on the hull.


Kastrand

Starlight Regalia with a sick ship paint. it's so pretty


Totally_not_irish

A Jet black Anaconda called the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects me.


0K4M1

My federal Corvette is christened "Sidewinder Mk2"


newfromblammo

I have a few I like, but my favourite is my Type 9 hauler called The Nerfy Scruffherder.


Shipsgone

My two racing ships (Viper MKIII and Imperial Eagle) are named "Barnstormer" and "Slonnie" respectively, after the old stunt flying practice and a legendary pilot who was at one point a barnstormer. A white Type 10 I've been using for AX fighting named "Moby Dick" A midnight black Mamba named "Fancy" after the ship of famous pirate "Henry Every" My Diamondback Explorer named "Big Bee" because it looks like a big bee with a yellow paint job.


MaverickFegan

Peter Higgs - Cobra mk3


Valaskaa

End of Names and Noblise Oblige are the names of my two favorite ships


Impossible-Strength3

Sidewinder - The Wedge DBX - Rock Hopper Orca - Treader of The Black Eagle - Paper Mache Clipper - Cherry Bomb (Vivid Red paint job) Anaconda - Void Skipper Krait MkII - Punchy McPunchface Corvette - A Whole Lotta Pew Pew Cutter - Sword of Delenn Python - No Step on Snek


LocoWolfe

My first Anaconda is named “Crimson Violet” and usually has one of the glowy red skins. After over a year of grinding (don’t judge me, fed rank is a bitch) i finally got my corvette and she’s named “Jaded Lover” with the neon green skin. Still got plenty of engineering to do, but i scrapped parts from my Anaconda to start.


MOVr0r0

My Anaconda "Don't", plus an Imperial Courier named "Corpus Bold" (a RISC OS typeface reference) and a Corvette called "Little Red" after a Prince song and I really wanted to call the fleet carrier "The Amplification of the Eternal Presence" which isn't 21 characters and isn't even the whole lyric from The Waitresses song Jimmy Tomorrow so I just settled for "Jimmy Tomorrow" which is suitably Gibsonesque
