Gargamel 6,311 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Very Cool @Timey! Another resource I use for random ship names is this site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SkyRender 1,311 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 The day I run out of ship names is the day that KSP refuses to allow me to give my vessels terrible pun names. Long live Munity, Minity, Mohotivated, Eve Ent Horizon, Silly Gilly, Dunaverse, Ike-E-A, Dresperate, Joolific, Laythered Up, Tylo Brahe, Valliant, Teeny Bop, Pol Taker, and Eeloosive!

pandaman 1,970 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I just use numbers for all my 'name worthy' vessels... Saves me needing to even think about it. I do prefix with a two letter 'type' designation to help with identification though (SO = Station, Orbital etc). The only things I name properly are tracked Asteroids (first letter designates size class). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeiss Ikon 946 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I'd have to think at least twice about naming a vessel Poseidon -- I've seen (most of) the first movie, and I hear the remake was much the same. I also see you've missed out one of my more common naming schemes in RSS/RO/RP-1 -- Alpha for Aerobee series sounding rockets, Beta for A-4/RD-100 boosters, and so forth. Beta 1 Mk. 1a, for instance, flew the first bio-capsule and film camera recovery suborbital missions and (so far) the early downrange distance milstones in my current campaign. A couple careers ago (I'm not a very good funds optimizer) Gamma flew the first orbital mission (roughly Jupiter/Baby Sergeant class). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceX_Boi 123 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 oh gawsh, that a lot of names But like you said, I will never run out of names now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruslana616 0 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Thanks, you really helped me with choosing the name for my vessel. I've checked several space sites hoping to find a few good names there, but I failed. How did you manage to create this huge list of names? I suppose many users want to know your secret Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KerbalsRus 5 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 This gets me to thinking. I wonder if a mod could be made to randomly name your ship Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaBakonAder 12 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I’d use this, but all my rockets are in classes with numbers, EX: Midnight 3, Premiere 7, Etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

camacju 281 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I usually name my ships "untitled space craft" or something directly related to the mission. "Cheap jool five" for, well, a cheap Jool-5 mission. Saves time thinking of a cool name Quote Link to post Share on other sites
