' Wrote:Yeah maybe LCS Liberty Canadian Ship Or is that to country oriented?
Liberty is neither Canada nor the United States. While the names of their ships take from locations on old Earth, the countries no longer exist. "LNS" stands for Liberty Navy Ship... i.e., a ship in the Liberty Navy. "HMS" stands for "His/Her Majesty's Ship", referring to Bretonia's ruling monarch. "LCS" for Liberty Canadian Ship makes no sense because Canada does not exist in Sirius, nor would the Liberty Navy spontaneously change naming prefixes like that. "LNS-Toronto" would be fine, as it has the existing ship prefix "LNS" and the ship itself is named after a location on Earth from whence the people aboard the Liberty Sleeper Ship originated.
I'm going to have to stop that. This is two posts in a row that people are saying I'm making sense, in two completely different sections of the forum. I didn't think that was allowed.... :P

The place names in freelancer are named after places which exist. That much is clear. However in freelancer there is no America, no Russia, no Germany, no United Kingdom, no Iran...
Thus, so long as the name has relevance to the freelancer universe then it is prefectly alright to use a name.
What I don't wish to see are people named [UK]Dave[UK] or Gunboat.of.Doom[CRO], as that creates little groups of players who only speak their native language with one another. That is not what this server is about.
However, given the naming conventions in the four houses, and out in the omicrons as well, using real place names as a ship name is acceptable.
Stating YOUR nationality through a ship name is not.
