I was just wondering if people have thought about naming their ships after famous people, places, or things in Lusternia.

I mentioned in another thread I would name my first ship (if that ever were to happen), the Qaletaqa Azrion Marina, based on characters I remember. I'd like to see somebody name a pirate ship the Yrael Aebrin.

Anybody do this already. I could see stuff like the Fain's Glory, Dove of Isune, (Lolly) Pringle's Progress, Terentia's Trekker, Visaeris Viper, Hallifax Hawk, Urlach's Sail, Flagg's Falcon, etc...

Any famous players who aren't around anymore you could name a ship after? Any famous people from the histories you'd like to name a ship after?

Tully's tub?

Celest's ship is The Princess Marilynth.

More like Tully's Trashcan.

I just like thinking of all the possible names...

The Flagg aethership would be the Dark Tower mounted upon a chunk of rock, with turrets sticking out of every available surface.

EDIT: So less "Falcon" than "Fortress".

Except that you can use the word tub to describe a boat, and trashcan is one of those Americanisms I resolutely refuse to touch. Rubbish bin, old chap. Rubbish bin. Or Wastepaper basket.

Could name it the Spawn of Kethuru. happy.gif

I was thinking of naming ships names like nigritude ultramarine, seraphim proudleduck, or crystalline incandescence. smile.gif

The Verithrax Peacebringer. Or Verithrax Mobile Clothes Deployment Facility. The Munsia Narsrim battleship.

Both of which are used in America as well. The whole time I was a child it was wastepaper basket in school never a trash can.

Almost tempted to rename mine the Munsrim, just to be a dick.

Aww, only if it has like paintings and statues and room descriptions and other custom goodies that resemble us. You could build like a D'cente` family fan club aethership!

-shudder-

I'll stick with basing it on the Weatherlight.

D'cente? Forgot about that one. Just goes to show that my apostrophe theory is correct: D'cente, Mes'ard, La'saet, and the Viscanti houses. Take whatever conclusion you want from this. wink.gif
