I Used : EDASTRO

I used edastro to generate ship names and what I got as names left me speechless, I discarded some names because they were too vulgar, I chose the ones that I think are best for me and the worst for me, obviously the system generated names that are better not to write, now I don't know how the algorithm for generation is based but a filter to avoid generating vulgar names would have been useful

L

I used https://edastro.com/shipnames/

BEST NAMES:

  • EQUINOX'S WANDERER

  • HEAVENLY UNDEAD

  • GALACTIC JOURNEY

WORST NAMES:

  • STUPIDLY TIRED

  • EXTENDED PRISON

  • POSITIVELY SPICY

I'm all about hilarious names or just the most random things ever.

EDastro's spaceship name generator

Best: (or could be worst)

  • DISGUSTINGLY COURAGEOUS

  • BOMBASTIC SERENITY

  • GALACTIC CONCLUSION (if I were a Thargoid)

    Worst:

  • WOLF'S SQUID

  • TOMORROW'S MONKEY

  • SAGAN'S PLACEBO (actually could be the best)

    Honorable mentions: up to you to decide if it's good or bad

  • ILL CURIOSITY (perfectly fit when I crash my ship trying to dock in Lantern's Light)

  • BRILLIANT NOVA (bathroom break during system jump but my supercruise auto throttle is not on)

  • FORCEFUL WAVE (something something ramming my Courier at >800ms something something

It might just be because I love anything Carl Sagan, but 'Sagan's Placebo' is rad.

LiquidMorkite's avatar

That's why I mentioned it could be the best!

Better ship names using a spaceship name generator:

  • ULTIMATE VISION

  • EXCITING MESSENGER

  • VOID SOJOURNER

Worst ship names using a spaceship name generator:

  • COW'S DISCOVERY

  • FLYING CALAMITY

  • HOLIDAY LEGACY

https://twitter.com/MaquinaMQC/status/1909856415495102742

To be honest, I've been thinking for a while whether to put “COW'S DISCOVERY” in the bad ones or the good ones...

Alex Sinclair's avatar

I felt similarly about The Flying Calamity

M

Clearly defining the names between best and worst is subjective, but UNRIPE GREMLIN...

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Yeah, 'Unripe Gremlin' makes me feel a little queasy. Final Penguin on the other hand...

Share your social media post here, including your best automatically generated Elite Dangerous ship name and your worst

The Glorious Calamity nad Positively Cloned. After few tries with ED Astrometrics ship name generator, that's what I've chosen to be the best and worst ship names. It's just my opinion 😅

The Glorious Calamity got my attention the first time I looked at it, but harder task was to find the worst name. Most of them are pretty good, but I just don't see the name Positively Cloned as something special or decent as a ships name.

Well, it came to me with the name "The Lisovik." I didn't know what it meant, but I looked it up, thinking it was a generic word.

But no, apparently it's a Russian mythological beast with a tentacle, a Lovecraftian creature.

I liked it and added it to my Python mk2 full of Rainguns.


COPERNICAN IDIOT

 EXPRESS JOURNEY 

LITHOBRAKING CURIOSITY 

DISCOVERY'S MAUSOLEUM 

EXCEPTIONAL DAWN 

PRISON MERCENARY 

CANCEROUS HUNTER

PROFOUNDLY ADAPTED 

ENDURANCE PHOENIX

The best of the generated 1 OF THE 10 is "THE LISOVIK"

the worst would be "COPERNICAN IDIOT"

It sounds a bit harsh to name a ship with that name.

I hope it's okay in the locker now.

(I used the translator.)

Hey lionriver that's pretty cool actually. We do need your 'best' and your 'worst' auto-generated ship name for this reward. Please feel free to add another tweet including your 'worst' generated ship name if you'd like to be considered for a prize

Most of the names that came up in the generator are meaningless. The generator I used is the following:

Hey XCezor, looks like you've entered this one with a reply rather an 'entry'. Please resubmit to be awarded a prize ✌️

Oh right, thanks for letting me know😅

You're welcome! (You're not the first and you won't be the last)

Hi lilymorbid,

As with the reply I just left you on another reward, we need you to contextualise your social media post reward entries, so that those who come across them outside of Just know what you're posting about. In this case, it's not clear that you're talking about Elite Dangerous, especially as the images include technology that isn't featured in the game "Tachyon Shunt Drive" and "Gamma Death Ray".

Feel free to re-enter with a post about Elite Dangerous
