(Also, in FS1 the Shivans were given Hindu names such as Durga, Durja, etc.)

GTX Zeus

Some of these sound suspiciously familiar. :p

Earth based campaigns could have ships with names based on states, famous people etc. Just think about what names military ships have these days.

I remember at the end of the FS1 Campaign, you returned to earth and there was a GTD Washington waiting for you.

Not obama or bush yet, it's generally the ones that have done famous things.

Oh right I forgot to mention something. When I said famous people and places, I meant only british and american famous people and places. That is what most modern day ships are named after. Gandhi, Berlin and Tokyo just dont fit. It may sound racist, but I dont name our current day warships, so meh.

That is not in FS1, that was in a mission added by the FSPort team as a substitute for the endgame cutscene before they were able to get cutscenes working.

You are forgetting that most warships YOU see are british or americans. Dutch warships have dutch names, Spanish ships spanish ones, Japanese ships japenese ones etc.. Earth ships have... earth names, so it makes a lot of sense that there is some GTC Whilhelmina in there too.

GTC Whilhelmina should be GTD Whilhelmina?

Oh right...
Well if it works that way then the ship names we should be seeing will come from the most dominant country on Earth (it stand to reason the most dominant country would have the largest navy). The way its going now, it looks like either China or India will be that dominant country.

So...Chinese ship names anyone...?  :ick:

Although I'm thinking most people here will prefer British and American names, even if that won't (possibly) be realistic in the future.
