I name them according to what class they are. i.e. when I upgrade them, I make sure I rename them to be the new class name. So, for example, Small Fighter I 0001 would become Small Fighter II 0001. But then, I'm boring =)

Not normally.

In one game, I did grant distinctive names to ships that'd distinguished themselves (for instance, by reaching Elite or Legendary status).

Default Re: Do any of you actually name your ships?

I only individually name my ships that are very specific or expensive. For instance, many times I build a WP opener/closer with (obviously) a WP opener, a WP closer, and a SY. Another one is my Planet Seeders (Planet Destroyer / Creator / and SY). I usuualy name them and then I usually name them based on the section of the map they are designated to 'work' in. I rarely ever name other ships.
