[Alneyan]

Are you talking about the class name, or the name of the actual ship? I tend to use nonsensical names for my class names (with the exception of Colony Ships and Base Space Yards), since I will be able to recall what class does what in a given name.

I do not name my ships because I am too lazy. And naming a few hundred ships (let's say one thousand per game, including the reinforcements, and that would be in the low range) per game (quite a few of them) would simply take too much time. I cannot say I have the imagination to make up a few thousand different names either, plus planet names if wanted.
