vonWolfenstein Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I want to pick a name for my ship. Plus, all cool shipnames allow spaces in the name so that is a must, I can think of one example with a space in the name here and now: "The Millennium Falcon":csw_falcon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattieP Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Not sure I understand the purpose. Do you want to see a nameplate over the ship when your in space combat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonWolfenstein Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Do you want to see a nameplate over the ship when your in space combat? That would be cool to but mainly because I want my ship to be a personal thing. When people in my guild see me online they will not see that I am in "Fury" I want that to display my ships name.

Most people don't talk in it but there is a chat channel for each ship type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yfelsung Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) So name it. No one ever sees the thing but you. Even if you named it, it would still be a Fury class interceptor (using my own ship as an example) So just tell people it has a name. I did it in WoW with all my mounts. RP a little, buddy, it's why RPGs were invented. Edited January 10, 2012 by Yfelsung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanzoV Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 At this point, since space combat is a single-player, tunnel-shooter, I really don't see the purpose of "official" ship names. Nothing is stopping you from naming your ship and telling all your friends/guildies, but, I hope you already knew that. Maybe one day we'll get team-based PVE and/or PVP combat, and that would be a good time for ship names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my hopes up for that. If that is never be done the ships do not really serve a purpose from a MMO perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
