Ship Name & Stats
Can we get some ship name ideas?
I went to a name generator and found a few that look fun
the Buccaneer, the Remorseless, the Starhammer, the Helldiver
Max suggested the Solenya.
Post your favorites here, a short list or just one or two and then lets see about getting a poll up to choose the favorite.

Re: Ship Name
Phase World has the Three Galaxies: Corkscrew, Anvil, and Thudercloud.
Maybe some plays on those
Helix
Rigger
Nimbus

Re: Ship Name
I literally copied and pasted the Light Freighter from page 49, Made it size 10 and added +2 armor and +2 mod slots.

Re: Ship Name
Nice Ship: Pale Forge, some say it brings a glimmer of hope if you catch its silver twinkling in the night sky. For others an occipital pavlovian reaction in the back of their throat occurs as they realize their doom is at hand.
Run Down Ship: Deevil’s Gambit, Most say they have seen better, and no one says they have seen worse. Few though, know it is a gamble worth taking when the pile of bolts flies high over head.

Re: Ship Name
Yes, check the worksheet posted above. I did all that (size 10, 27 Mods). Then I built the ship using the picture you gave us and the mods slots avaialable.
TLDR: We have two hangars/garages instead of atmospheric capabilities.

Re: Ship Name
I really like "Nimbus".
Based on the liveliness of Hangouts discussion, I anticipate much hijinks with the many personalities (and skillsets) in this crew. So I'd like to throw another name into the candidate pool (with swashbuckling undertones that is in direct opposition to our rivals' serious name "The Pursuit"):
The Jaunty Nimbus

Re: Ship Name
Okay, here is my proposal for the ship. Let us only have one hangar. We use those mod slots for: 1 missile launcher (the deck plans actually show three weapon systems), upgrade sensors to Galactic, a Speed upgrade, and a targeting system.
EDIT - Just saw that missiles require mod slots for ammo as well as launch mechanism. We could replace the speed upgrade, or the sensor upgrade, with missiles.
Then the forward bay is a cargo bay...which oddly enough, there's no way to designate in the ship design rules.
These ship design rules leave something to be desired, in my view, hehe. But then, I cut my teeth on GURPS vehicles, where you painstakingly designate every cubic foot of volume and need a calculator to work everything out...

Re: Ship Name
For my next trick...our transport craft, the Shrike! (maybe)
A small starship, so it can navigate within systems and only requires a single pilot. Armed and defended, so it can serve as a strike craft when and if needed. It should be able to serve roles the main ship can't.
Small Starship: Size 6, Acc/TS 50/700, Climb 3, Toughness 20 (5), Crew 1+10, Cost: $4.94M, Remaining Mods 0
Notes: Dual Linked Heavy Lasers (3) 2M, AMCM (1) 30k, AI 60k, Atmospheric (3) 300k, Passenger Pod (1) 50k, Planetary Sensors (1) 50k, Shields (3) 150k, Deflectors (2) 60k, Stealth (6) 300k,
Hm. Not 100% sure of this. Armament is powerful and it's a bitch to hit, but once the shields are down it seems vulnerable.
I do like having Stealth, but it eats up a lot of mods. What do you guys think?

Re: Ship Name
The Apparent Horizon (Event Horizon would be cool but already taken)
The Accretion Disk
Those are for ships names after gravitational phenomenon in space
Others
The Erin Tarn
The Promiscuous
The Nimbus' Eye

Re: Ship Name
let's create a poll. each player pick one top name to included.
Then each player is allowed two votes. The result is the winner.
PS: VV any chance we can get public voting back?

Re: Ship Name
I would have picked the Remorseless if it was there. If it gets added I’ll change stardiver to the remorseless. If it’s not added, that’s fine too.
I picked one of mine + one of another’s that I liked most.

Re: Ship Name
I was also a bit surprised Remorseless wasn't in the poll (because it was the first bold-suggested one).

Re: Ship Name
Someone needs to fix that Poll and add remorseless so people can revote and make it the winner.
EDIT: I added the name as an option

Re: Ship Name
Don’t remember what account I was on when I first voted, I’m 99 percent sure it was malcom. If I’m doubled up on Koshnek ignore that vote and count Malcom’s vote

Re: Ship Name
I am renaming this Group "Phase World The Remorseless" this will distinguish us from our competitors who may be flying on other ships in the 3 Galaxies!
This is the final ship then...
We will assume you have a small (size 4 or 6) landing shuttle on board that will hold 10 people.
