What's my best/favourite Ship name, where to start. I love personalising my Elite Dangerous ships and choosing/finding exactly the right name is a huge part of that process. If I had to list my top 4 favourites it would look something like this:

My AX medium fighter a Krait Mk II - GSS Kraitee Sackhoff Ship ID: 5TRBUK in honour of the actress who played Starbuck in the reboot of Battlestar Galactica

Then there is my trusty exploration DBX GSS Long Jump Silver Ship ID:ARGH01 I have spent several thousand of my 7500+ hours exploring the Black with this wonderful little ship. She has served me very well.

Up next my Imperial Cutter GSS DEATH OF RATS Ship ID: 33K33K In honour of one of my favourite authors the incomparable Sir Terry Pratchett

One of my favourite TV shows and the character Wash provided inspiration in naming my Type 6 Transporter GSS A Brick On The Wind Ship ID: FR3FLY

A

So many to choose from but I'll go with "Outworn Dalliances".

This is the Krait Mk II I used to make my first trip to Colonia. You can read the full account of my adventures here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/going-to-colonia.558244/.

As for the name ...
It's an anagram of Colonia Wanderlust which has a certain Ian M. Banks-esque ring to it and also reflects on the fact that I've grown weary of noodling around the bubble doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that and now yearn for an adventure with a bit more substance to it.

The name is self-explanatory, Titanbomber, and may not be the most original, but it certainly suits the ship's function

This is my beautiful Federal Corvette, I call it Hive Sherman, ''hive'' because it is a place built to house the queen (which in this case is me), some crew members to operate the fighters and everything else are interpreted as the drones... all together working as a team like bees work in a hive.

But what is Sherman? Sherman is my cat's name, I really like him a lot and I decided to dedicate my best ship to him, he just said ''meow meow'' I believe it is a ''thank you'' hahaha

It’s not this I don’t have it yet, I almost have all the empire ships on Xbox pc and PlayStation. My first ship name will be “The Flying Dutchman”. Because of my ghost factions. Also inspired off of the series “expeditionary force”! A must read, Godspeed Just About! 🫡🤓
