Celtic mythology. Enough war gods for a thousand mods. Where did you think Cernunnos and Morrigan came from?

British warship names are way better.

HMS Dauntless, Devastation, Invincible, Furious, Glorious, Indefactible, Illustrious, Belfast, Howe, Warspite, Fearless, Agamemnon, Agincourt, Audacious, Bellerophon, Hermes, Hood, Royal Oak, Benbow, Tiger, Courageous. And Dreadnought  

But I'm using Celtic names.

I think it stands to reason that eventually we're allways going to run out of names for ships, weapons or whatever because there's a finite amount of words that will work as names for mods. This is not including all those names that sounds Vasudan or Kilrathi or whatever.

Did you actually look there?  It's got basically every ship ever made there.

Bastion, Galatea and Colossus are three examples that you can find there.  Oh, and they sound familliar....

Use actual names.  How about birds and animals?  Rocks are good.

GTF Quartz?
GVD Robin?
GTC Squirrel?
 


I think that for ship CLASSES, you should stick to mythology...but for the actual names of individual ships, you can go all over the place.

Well, TFoN is featuring the GTCv Indium, Deimos Adv. class.

And its sister ship, Iridium. But that doesn't live long
