Default Re: Bad Names For Your Ships

You guys come up with such simple names, what happened to the good old days of long flowing names:

Blunt object of maximun authorized force
Sword of unparalleled misdirection
New Design 001
Song of unified litigation

Oooh, how about the "Tool of Operational Need"

Yah... that one sounds good.

Go simple....

Hydrogen
Helium
Lithium
Beryllium
Boron
Carbon
etc, etc.

Take variations on that theme, such as certain chemicals or the chemical names of drugs.

Hydrochloric Acid
Benzene
Dihydrogen Monoxide
Cyanide
Venlafaxine
Acetamenophen
etc, etc
