Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
Wouldn't that be Gilligan's Colony?
You could call your colony ships "SS Minnow" for an obscure reference.

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
On a related subject, I used to have a gameboy sub game where you could name your Sub. My was the US Sub Standard.
Worst name for a ship:
HMS. Invincible, as this name alone will result in the immediate and, often, pathetically stupid destruction of any ship.
- SS. Can't Hit Me
- USS. Essess
- Sinker
- Flounder
- Derelict
- Dereliction of Duty
- SS. Oceanus (a Passenger liner that went down in 1991 and the crew all bailed and left the passengers behind. Note the captain was given a new command a few weeks laters of a Ferry).
- Any ramming ship named "dodge" or "jumper"
- Any tanker or highly-flammable ship named after a living, ruling emperor.

Re: Bad Names For Your Ships
Go simple....
Hydrogen
Helium
Lithium
Beryllium
Boron
Carbon
etc, etc.
Take variations on that theme, such as certain chemicals or the chemical names of drugs.
Hydrochloric Acid
Benzene
Dihydrogen Monoxide
Cyanide
Venlafaxine
Acetamenophen
etc, etc

Geoschmo, you have perhaps read Schlock Mercenary May 13 2001?
