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 * * Covian Explorer * Stormbringer * Purity * Avatarii Servant * Warlord * Lady Of The High Seas * Bloodthirst * Baron's Fist * Grim Goddess * Primal Inquisitor * * Bald Destruction * Grenadier's Charm and some taken from my favourite "Hyperion" * Jibril * Rafael * Gedeon * Consul (more to come) Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Raiden Morana on March 13, 2007, 08:42:53 am 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.

Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Khaelieth on March 13, 2007, 12:04:09 pm My favourites:
Bald Destruction Greystone Mavis and my own! H. B. S. Dictator! Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Erik Arkay/Evinyatar on March 13, 2007, 12:11:35 pm 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 Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: qom_riyadh on March 13, 2007, 12:21:25 pm 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... Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: qom_riyadh on March 13, 2007, 03:09:12 pm More from "Hyperion Cantos"
H.B.S. Aenea H.B.S. Shrike Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: qom_riyadh on March 13, 2007, 04:01:44 pm H.B.S. Sheba
H.B.S. Taurus H.B.S. Foreign Affair H.B.S. Nightshade ;) H.B.S. Resolution H.B.S. Blackbird H.B.S. Liberation H.B.S. Four Winds H.B.S. Bad News Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Marcus Kobra on March 13, 2007, 04:43:58 pm H.B.S. Glenmores
H.B.S. Altemere H.B.S. Yew Breaker Hmm my contribution. Cheers. Marcus Kobra Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Khaelieth on March 13, 2007, 05:22:47 pm I second two of Kobra's; The H. B. S. Altmere and Glenmore. Warlord would also be good.
Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: qom_riyadh on March 13, 2007, 05:27:08 pm Maybe Command will consider putting up a poll with a couple of best names?
Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Marcus Kobra on March 13, 2007, 05:30:10 pm 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. Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: qom_riyadh on March 13, 2007, 05:42:33 pm I second that.

Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Marcus Kobra on March 13, 2007, 05:54:27 pm ... yes, and then trade units... like H.B.S. Ale-smasher! Think someone wants his own Rum-runner. ;) Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Samuel West on March 13, 2007, 06:33:24 pm H.B.S. Dragoon!!
Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Conan Darkmoon on March 26, 2007, 02:24:25 pm The Valiant, The Lusitania. ;)
Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Khaelieth on March 27, 2007, 09:57:42 pm H. B. S. Bismarck. Tirpitz could also work.
But no copying IRL names. Perhaps Altmere, Glenmore and the like could work? Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Snudrud on April 05, 2007, 10:08:23 pm H.B.S usless?
And anyway, what type of this are they? goblinowar? manowar? Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Snudrud on April 05, 2007, 10:13:20 pm H.B.S submerged?
Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: qom_riyadh on April 06, 2007, 06:22:55 am Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Ronas Xerad on June 08, 2007, 07:46:19 pm How about?
H.B.S. Armageddon or The H.B.S Blackrock H.B.S. Valor H.B.S Poncho =p Or H.B.S Centurion just a thought. Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Graem Carcer on June 22, 2007, 10:44:59 pm Name them after things that come in sets, such as the virtues, or the dungeons, I say.
Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Ronas Xerad on July 03, 2007, 06:08:15 am Name them after things that come in sets, such as the virtues, or the dungeons, I say. i still like the H.B.S.-Poncho Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Arma Renox on July 03, 2007, 07:18:43 am *looks at his sig*
I wonder why?... Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: userjosh5368 on July 03, 2007, 09:29:34 am 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) Title: Re: Ship names ideas Post by: Arma Renox on July 03, 2007, 08:58:48 pm My thanks for all your suggestions, which will be referred to at such a time when we have the ships to name!
