Re: Do any of you actually name your ships?
Only the large baseships and some of my large carriers. And somtimes an important defense base.

Re: Do any of you actually name your ships?
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 =)

Re: Do any of you actually name your ships?
Not normally.
In one game, I did grant distinctive names to ships that'd distinguished themselves (for instance, by reaching Elite or Legendary status).

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.

I name them once they complete a tour of duty.

Re: Do any of you actually name your ships?
I merged a bunch of name files that somebody posted a while back, and I just skim that for names as each ship gets built.
I usually keep a small empire, with less than ten, (avg. 7) full-time, big & tough defence ships, and a small fleet in mothballs.
EG. in my Story game, I've got 6 "Ubernaught" BCs, and one operational "Blackhole" DN. All are named.
