Quite like my Ideas for Weapon Names thread, only that it's for ships now, regardless of which race. Here are some guidelines that you (don't) have to follow:

1. When listing a ship name, either add the prefix, or state the race, such as "SC Urobach" or "Thebes - Vasudan".
2. In the case of canon factions, try to use names from the appropriate mythology (Terran=Greek, Vasudan=Egyptian and Shivan=Demonic).
3. If 2. is not possible, try something related (e.g. GTD Rangifer or SC Blattodea).
4. You can say it. ;)


Let me start off with:

- SD Stolas
- SD Beelzebub
- GVD Khasekhemwy
- GVI Giza
- UED Guoming
- UEFg Zhiyou
- ACD Kephala

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

Terran=Greek
Shivan=Demonic

They're incomplete, the naming convention for Terran and Shivan names goes well beyond that.

GTD Aristoteles and GTD Xenofanes. I'm using those two names for my novel ;)

The main heroes are on the Aristoteles and their "rivals" are on the Xenofanes.

GTD George W Bush... or just GTD Dubbya. It can be armed with Nuke-u-lar weapons!

Thing is, we know the PVN didn't use Egyptian names, so I was trying to think of universal concepts for their ship names, rather than things that might be traceable directly to Terranish origins. :P

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems
