Okay y'all
Favorite names for spaceship?
(*not* counting Culture ship names, because those are all fantastic).

@starkatt Torquemada's Monkey Wrench. that was the name of the smuggling ship we ran in a Star Wars RPG way back in the day, and I've always loved it. XD

@starkatt My best ship name that I've created to date is the Eventually Consistent, of an experimental hyperdrive vessel.

@starkatt
Hot Needle of Inquiry (from Niven's Ringworld series).
Nostalgia For Infinity (Alistair Renoyld's Revelation Space series)

@starkatt "Minimum Safe Distance", "Reactor Malfunction", "Model T", "Erroneous Perigee"...

@starkatt Oh yes, and the "Polysyllabic Designation" (which I think is Schlock Mercenary), Swan Song, and Nine of Swords

@starkatt As you can probably tell, I tend to favor the less stereotypical starship names. n..n

@starkatt "Rocinante" in the context of the ship in The Expanse. Also because "The Roci" as a nickname just sounds so good. ♥️
