Does anyone personalize your ships?

Post by Deathgod65 »

Just wondering if you guys gave your ships their own names instead of just having several nameless ships of the same type fighting and dying like a Redshirt army.

EDIT: My bad, i haven't been here for like a year or something.

I'm just wondering why you posted this topic in a board it obviously doesn't belong in and didn't even have the decency to make a post containing something resembling worthwhile content.I know you're new, but we generally frown upon people starting threads that are basically just a silly question consisting of only one sentence.

Oh, and I guess welcome to the forums or whatever.

EDIT: You're not new, you have no excuse. Thread moved somewhere more appropriate.

I think...just about everyone names the ships they make.

Individual instances? Individual Metagame ships are named.
Also they're named sometimes as part of the RP/Fiction surrounding it.

Not unless the game has some way of tracking experience/combat proficiency. For example, I name suitably experienced ships in Space Empires 4. The rank and file ships don't get officially named until they prove themselves worthy of a title.

As for BSF, heck no. Too many of the damn things to track easily. Too many get blown up, the scale's too small, etc. etc.
