My ship's the USS Stonewall. :D

I named it after my favorite historical event which you can read about here: http://www.stonewallfleet.com/stonewall-riots

Great answers, all!

I'm curious: of those who responded here (or want to), who have obviously put a lot of thought into their ship names, how many have also entered a bio in-game for their captain(s)?

Sometimes I'll see an interesting looking toon and right click on him (or her, but usually him, cuz I'm gay, duh) only to find nothing in the way of back story. But my captains (and some of my BOs) have their own stories.

What about you? And are your captains usually glbtq?

I do have one, I just need to post it. I also set one up for one of my BOs. Yes, because my toon is an extension of me I did make him gay, I'm not sure about my alt yet hes a Betazoid(a race that always hit me as gay or bi, the males at least)

Updated with the events for February :) Remember to subscribe to this thread to keep up-to-date with the events

U.S.S. Navajo was the name of the very first and only RPG I played for many years. I used it for my ship in hopes that an old friend from the RPG would recognise the toon/ship name and say hi. Guess he's not playing STO (knobhead).
Also I never did make it to captain in the game, only chief science officer/second officer. So I thought it was time I had my turn. lol

U.S.S. Samhain. Samhain is the best (IMO) Sabbat.

Segedunum is the Roman name for a part of North Tyneside.

U.S.S. Warlock. My Class in WoW. I was going to name it the U.S.S. Bludrot but...

I'm going to have to refresh my memory on Klingon to go into my Klink ship name, but I can't be arsed hehe.

I love this topic!! And reading how people have come to make the names of there Vessels..

For me Iroesay, my main, Captains the USS Dreamweaver. This is actually a homage to one of my favorite bands Styx.

My Alt Nrreow Captains the USS Pendulum. This is a play on the fact that a Science Captain can make the difference between a successful mission and complete death of all. The Pendulum can swing both ways after all :)

And as for Vira my newest, and only female toon, Captains the USS Geisha which is named after one of my favorite book/movie Memories of a Geisha.

Denil's Ships (Cruisers) are all named after places that mean something to me. U.S.S. Northumberland (NX-91412) was his Light Cruiser, and his Cruiser was the U.S.S. Northumberland (NCC-93610) as Northumberland is a place I spent a lot of time as a child and where my boyfriend (alimac) comes from too. His Excelsior is the U.S.S. Cambridge after my hometown, and his Stargazer is the U.S.S. Oxford after where I went to Uni. My Exploration Cruiser will likely be the U.S.S. Elgin after the street my Grandparents live on. The Assault Cruiser and Star Cruiser will differ from this pattern though. The Assault Cruiser will be the U.S.S. Alistair and the Star Cruiser will be the U.S.S. Benjamin, after my bf and myself (and Sisko) respectively.

Bast (my tac officer) is going to have all his ships named after Egyptian Cat Deities, He is a Caitian after all. It's also fitting as most Egyptian god deities have a war-god aspect to them.

His current ship (an NX) is the Sekhmet, and his Escort will be Pasht (a different translation of the goddess Bastet he was named after).

I don't know,part of me wants to trust this guy the other part is saying he's playing us. Trek has always been cuting edge. If the cast and crew wanted it done if they forced the issue it would have been

Thanks Slayer!

My man got over excited looking at all the graphics card shininess and ordered a Zotac GeForce GTX 570 732MHz 1280MB last night. :) A steal at fifty quid more than the previous alternatives; we have slightly more cash than we do patience apparently. lol He's a greedy boy, but since we're not having to worry about a mortgage yet, it's all good.
But next time we're online and you're not busy, I'd still appreciate a hardware masterclass!

Bugger... I made a big reply just got deleted argh.

Anyways, go for the Asus far better value for money. It's also quite impressive. Personally I couldn't justify the price of spending that much on a graphics card at the moment, but then again the one I have is comparable to the Asus one. I reckon u can get a better deal somewhere else to be honest. Overclockers is a good site, but sometimes lacks good pricing. My card was mean't to be £239, but got it for £30 ;) Check out www.Ukhotdeals.co.uk and use the shopbot "type it in google" I think u'll find a better price and possibly a better graphics card. I'm quite a big fan of Geforce Gigiabyte Overclocked range, then again It's down to personal preference. If u want i'll talk u through the shaders etc on vent and what they do and take a wee look at cards with ya online at some point just give us a shout.

Hi Rickster:

I loved A Final Unity too! When I first bought it, I thought it was awesome...played it for hours warping to the corner of the map to fight some Romulan warbirds. The name of the publisher was Spectrum Holobyte if I recall. Even the graphics were pretty good for the time and the voiceovers were great since they were from the real characters.

The only mission I couldn't stand was the one with the organs/horns that you had to play and walk across the room...each organ would change the layout of the floor and only certain tiles would overlap. Wanted to pull my hair out!

Jamie.

Let's see...

Elle's tiny little Miranda wasn't named by her, but by its late previous captain, and was the USS Proud Moth because it was small, lightly armed, but still did its best.

Once she was able to name her own ships, she was made captain of the USS Richard Feynman, an Intrepid-Class ship... this poor vessel was destroyed in an altercation with the Borg, but a later Intrepid-R was commissioned to the same specs and christened the USS Richard Feynman II.

She currently flies the USS Into the Unknown, a Nebula-class science vessel.

She entered Starfleet to serve as a medical officer in person, and to discover new types of spatial phenomena as a captain, and her scientific bent is I hope apparent from her ship names ;)

She has recently been considering putting in a request for a transfer to one of the newly-developed D'Kyr Vulcan Science Vessels that Starfleet has been talking about in classified communiques, but she hasn't yet decided on an appropriate name.

Since I live in Vegas I'll be here. Unlike last year (when my old friend showed up with his wife) I should be free the whole time.

Great question! I also like seeing other people's responses.

My main (Sthyr, an Andorian) is a cruiser captain. His ships have all had names I considered to be cruiser-ey. Dauntless, Endurance etc. He generally captains the Assault Cruiser USS Kumari after Shran's ship in ENT. His occasionally used Galaxy-X is the Invictus ( which means Unconquered).

My secondary toon (Kel, a Bajoran ginger hottie) has had his ships all named after scientists. Currently he flies the refit Copernicus or the Nebula Archimedes.

My Caitian Tac (just hit Captain) names his escorts after Native American tribes. His defiant class is the USS Lakota.

I have a rarely used Orion who is very campy in his names. He's only LCR5, with the BOP Sa'ra Pah'Len. Soon he will be in the IKS Bet' Mid'Lah
His Boffs are also campy.. Brund Korgan (named after Brent Corrigan the porn star) and his only female boff is Alotta Fadgina.

My Main (Raanan Pyki) flies the USS Bucentaure. The Bucentaure was the name of Vice Admiral Villenueve's ship at the Battle of Trafalger in 1805 where Nelson was killed. Being a history major, most of my ships take their names from English/French frigates or ships of the line. My science is in the USS Pallas. The Pallas was the name of Alexander, Lord Cochrane's famous frigate, the Pallas. My tactical flies the Imperiuse, which is another of Lord Cochranse commands!...My klingong...bea Arthur, flies the IKS Gummer...Previously the IKS Betty White, IKS Golden Girl, IKS...you get the drift... My new klingon toon, Paula Deen, is currently flyign the IKS Ham and Icing.. because Paula Deen is vile and I love her so!

Not the IKS butter?
