Okay. Ships need names. Names give personality. Everybody knows what an Osiris is, but not everyone might know what the Order battleship is. And, well...I get tired of saying "Bretonian gunboat." House caps especially ought to have some kind of name in keeping with the names of that house's fighters.
-bomber (Catamaran)
-gunboat (Kitsune?)
-destroyer
-battleship (Meiji, needs to be applied to player ships)
-the new Kusari transport that isn't the Bumblebee (Big Dragon)
-gunboat
-destroyer
-battleship (Dunkirk, needs to be applied to player ships)

Now, I'm quite sure I messed up some of these; maybe they already have names that just aren't commonly used, or maybe for some reason it doesn't make much sense to give it a proper name. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of these; and please post your suggestions for names. Once the list is filled, I'll post it in the "Future Ideas/Suggestions" thread.
You forgot the GMG Miner... We in CR call it "Ant" (Doom likes that name, so I think it could get it;))
IMG Gunboat is based on a fan concept codenamed "Artemis"
And the new Kusari transport has a name, "Bumblebee" or something like that.
Big Dragon is the thing called?
I think the final word about ship names should go to the makers of the ships... They "know" them better, than other people I think.;)
I agree, but we can't very well do that with the vanilla ships that're unnamed.;)And I think the file is called "Big Dragon" out of lack of better things to call it.:PThat said, if the creator (AoM in this case) suggests a name, it will be taken above any other suggestion.
You forgot to mention the Civilian Bomber, though a name has been developed for my fat baby.:P
It should be called Roc, but Igiss hasn't implemented it, and I don't know why.
