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

I usually name the class of ship when it is designed, then add proper names to each individual ship based somewhat on the class name. For example, I might create a "Storm" Class Battlecruiser, and subsequent names would include, "Tempest", "Maelstrom", "Hurricane", etc. Another example is the "Blade" Class Dreadnaught, and proper names in that Category would include, "Scimitar", "Broadsword", and "Rapier", for instance.

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

I don't generally use unique names for each ship; I do, however, have my own design names file that I created for SE3 & have copied into my SE4 installation. It's a list of composers taken from the index of a music history book. The file is posted in the Space Empires: IV - Data/Sound/Graphic Modifications forum.

If you want to name your ships and do not have a handy list available. you can use this link
http://www.ruthrauff.net/d20/star_wars/ship-names.html

It randomly generates ship names
