Default Re: How do you name your ships?

I simply do not name individual ships, for one reason alone; time. I don't have enough time to do it for every ship, or even some of them. Because of this, I rely on what class of ship it is in order to keep track of what that ship is supposed to be doing.

For example, say I have a DUC light cruiser attack ship. I would name that class one of two things:

- Attack LC 1
- LC 1.12.12 (1.12.12 are the numbers of letters in the alphabet...therefore ATT for attack.)

Or, if this was a special class of LC, say one with phased polaron beams instead of DUC's, I'd name it either:

- Attack LC 1 (**)
- LC 1.12.12 (**)

See, my system is very simple. But then again, if I ever wanted to fool someone, they'd never expect it!
