Title: Ship names ideas
Post by: qom_riyadh on March 13, 2007, 06:45:23 am
Instead of trying something on your own, maybe let's figure out something together...

'H.B.S.' prefix before each name...

* Covian Swagger
* Greystone
* Covian Explorer
* Stormbringer
* Purity
* Avatarii Servant
* Warlord
* Lady Of The High Seas

* Bloodthirst
* Baron's Fist
* Grim Goddess
* Primal Inquisitor
* Manlubber
* Bald Destruction
* Grenadier's Charm

and some taken from my favourite "Hyperion"

* Jibril
* Rafael
* Gedeon
* Consul


(more to come)

Just a couple of quick ones that sprang to mind:

MAVIS - Former Commander (i think - before my time in Cove), so it has a Covian theme. Plus ships should be be named after girls!

FEARLESS - Because Covians are! I know there's probably been many ships with this name but it is pretty generic (not like calling it the Ark Royal or Intrepid).

Anyway more to come - when they come to mind.

I think we need a theme for all ships...

Like all names of deceased or MIA Guardsmen. Might be an incentive for people to kill off characters...Get a boat named after you :)

HBS Greystone's Wreck
HBS Maktoum Kaboom!
Stuff like that

Hmm, interesting idea, Eason...

H.B.S. Keiran Vale
H.B.S. Vlad Ironside

sounds awesome

Or - to name ships after the people which done something huge and incredible for BoC and making them a Captain "Honoris Causa" of the ship...

I second two of Kobra's; The H. B. S. Altmere and Glenmore. Warlord would also be good.

Maybe Command will consider putting up a poll with a couple of best names?

I second that. They can select the "most relevant" then let us vote! possibly catagoriaze the names some way. So that say battle ships all have certain types of names, and frigates theirs.

Similar to US carriars all bieng named after presidents.

H. B. S. Bismarck. Tirpitz could also work.

But no copying IRL names.

Perhaps Altmere, Glenmore and the like could work?

Name them after things that come in sets, such as the virtues, or the dungeons, I say.

H.B.S Liberator (Minoc and Vesper/Ophidian victory)

H.B.S Conrad (In honour of Saint.Conrad who died in 2005 church fire)

H.B.S Halberdier (Frontal attackship? Halberdier like a spear = Spearhead?)

H.B.S Highlander (Maybe a frigate as Highlanders were heavily armoured)

My thanks for all your suggestions, which will be referred to at such a time when we have the ships to name!
