Just curious.

Usually I call my craft Dacoit, which is an indian word for a bandit.
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Norad, for some odd reason every time I try to attack a Commonwealth station I get a message saying,

"I can't do that Dave."

:D
This is our game. And George is our hero.

I don't name my ship in transc because I don't have to.

I think Periculi might be kidding, too. Damn spammers :P

What do you think about the endless stream of spawns ?

What about modding wandering spawns which dont attack the player directly ?

I call mine the Dudley personally.

It gets blown up sometimes, which reminds me, if the game is inspired a bit by nethack where's the race of space newts?

a race of dangerous space newts have been reported approaching the xelerus system. ETA unavailable at this time. 4 out of 5 expert newt-ologists advise avoiding contact with the creatures if possible, the 5th was eaten. they have been known to cause explosive decompression and salmonela outbreaks.

and to be on topic... i do not have a name for my ship, i just refer to it as "my ship" or similar. i do give wingmen and autons names though.

Them's fightin' words.

Oh, perhaps this is the spam.

I can spam a little considering that I have at least 500 or so Quality packed posts, full of insight, mod ideas and code samples, plus many sensible answers with correct spelling.

Ships can have names?


:shock:

I just call mine "the ole tug" since I always use the freighter. N that's a common nick the old sea dogs have used for many years.
