New Sci-Fi SSTO/Needs name.

[Rezolution]

Here's another SSTO I made after taking a little hiatus from KSP. Right now, the best I can do for a name is "Star Wave," which I'm not extremely happy with. I'd love some suggestions for a better ship name, though. Winner get's a...um...we'll I'll buy you a beer if you're in town. How about that ?

This ship is capable of obtaining a 160,000 K plus orbit with full station docking capability. It's a bit tricky to land if you're not willing to balance your fuel, but flies just fine for an SSTO.

Thanks for the look! As alway, appreciate any comments you might have.

How about:

 

Lady Liberty

[CdrFuzz]

"The Asterisk"?

[septemberWaves]

Building on the idea from an earlier comment: the Liberty Star, perhaps?

[Haruspex]

Porcupine?

It makes me think about some punk hairstyle and this Judge Dredd bad boy :

Wow, now I can't look at my spaceplane without thinking of the Statute of Liberty! Thanks for that . Believe it or not, that's not what is was based on .

Some nice ideas guys. I did want a name that makes a nod to its unique (read goofy), shape.

Still, not quite what I'm looking for, though. 

As always, I appreciate your suggestions. If there's more, feel free to post 'em.

It's very clearly a Horned Viper.

Lady Liberty sounds nice and it fits, however I support the horned viper theory - Horny Viper sounds like a marketable name

I hope that was a typo

[Signo]

If you are kidding me you should check some real life craft nicks like BUFF (Boeing B-52) or SLUF (Vought A-7). If you are serious I think you are too serious, so yes, it is a typo.

And we have a winner! Say hello to the "Horned Viper" (and all other nicknames thus derived).

Fellow314 will have a six-pack of his choice waiting in the hanger for him after his next flight.

Thanks to everyone else who offered suggestions, as well. Maybe I'll try this again in the future ;).

THE PALM!! Call it the Palm. It has the same number of wings as a hand has fingers.

[tmetal]

it reminds me of the empire's assault gunboat from the star wars games

What no one went for Spacey McSpace-Face?
