All other suggestions still pale in comparison to this most excellent and old suggestion.

Ok, my suggestion quite more simple, but more usefull and simple to implement.

On Ship / Manage or Buy, there are 4 slots, where you can save or buy previous model.

Making THIS 4 slots named. Pplz can use any string they want, like:

1) Cent-Miner ...... 2) Cent-fighter
3) Vult 2 HX ........ 4) Vult Gauss+missiles

I'm sorry, but what you have brought up is completely unrelated to this topic. Make your own.

Also, bump.

Ship names.

something meaningfull for you. Maybe your lover's name...

On this idea, if we could name at least the ship presets game already offer, that would start good, and more functional.

When your LeviKiller is destroyed, you buy another LevyKiller, not a Ragnarok mk.III ... When you create another setup for your Vulture, instead of preset I , you overwrite "vult hx purple" with "pink vult gauss" ...

Also, this can be stored client-side...

Alloh. You are completely saturating the suggestions board. Nothing you've said so far has been relevant, on-topic, remotely useful, or even readable. Please stop.

The original suggestion discussed in this thread is a good idea. Names for ships (preferably ones visible to anyone who targets the ship) would be a nice feature that would add some depth to the game.

It might be a good idea for stations to charge a small "christening fee" for named ships. It shouldn't be expensive (10k or so, or maybe 10% of the cost of the hull), but just enough to make named ships somewhat 'special'.

ladron, this is what the whole "let's not bash newbies" thread is for. PEOPLE LIKE YOU!

Alloh, resurrecting these threads is not the best idea. Experiment with the game more before you suggest something or bring back an old thread.

On topic: I feel only cappies should be named, as you are bound to lose them less than fighter stuff (unless it's a trident).

EDIT: Yes Lecter, I suck right now...

Speak for yourself, Sraer--some of us are capable of keeping a ship alive for quite some time.

Also, lay off ladron: Alloh is clearly unable to express whatever addled and under-informed thoughts he has about VO in comprehensible English, and he yet he is trying to do so all over the Goddamn place. It's unpleasant and he's is properly chastised for continuing to do so.

Yeah, I would like ship names, too. Always said so, back when I first witnessed it being suggested (although I can't remember when that was anymore).

I don't understand trolls who "owns" foruns... normally I ignore them.

My post is relevant and related to topic. Ship Names. To give a name to a ship.

(But I don't have to think like you... I can see what you didn't)

If you do an effort and try reading again, you will notice what I proposed is possible, simple and usefull. Put name on PRESETS for buying ship.

More easy to implement than name each and every ship, and can be considered a step towards it.

Back on trolling, my post was a usefull suggestion. But ladron* and Lector's posts that are saturating the forum with useless posts, unrelated to topic...
(*fixed)

I think you mean "ladron and Lector's posts," genius.

Alloh's post wasn't hard to understand for anyone with any degree of sense. It was slightly irrelevant though - Alloh your suggestion goes quite a bit beyond the one at the start of this thread. I would make a new topic about it if I were you. ;)

"DON'T LISTEN TO LADRON HE IS A TROLL. However, what he said was completely correct. Now I'm going to reproduce what he just told you, but I'm going to put a smiley face on it so that I look nice :)"

If I'm the only one who is amused by the fact that these posts seem to pop up wherever I go on these forums (usually by the select few members of my personal fan club - Restayvien, Atice, Shlim, Sraer, etc), then I severely overestimated the average level of intellectual ability of my fellow VO-ians.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, does anyone have anything to say about ship names?

In other words, "Dr. Lecter, have you noticed me yet? See? My hand is raised and everything! Be proud! Are you proud of me yet??".

Oy. Sometimes your posts are not completely stupid or banal; I'll admit this fact. However... the manner in which you profess your views is in violation of the spirit in which the Devs wish these boards to be, as evidenced by the "Be Nice" in friendly and eye-catching bold letters. That is all that we are saying; your tone is unwanted here.
Nov 21, 2009 Dr. Lecter link
Atice, go suck one off. Your constantly self-righteous, holier than thou tone is what's unwanted here.

Seems the thread has now cooled to the extent that it deserves to be bumped for the right purpose.

Namely ALLOWING SHIPS NAMES PLEASE.

The rest of ya, find your own threads to destroy/troll/whatever

Bahump, if nothing else then just to see the pickie again:)
