I've also got a freighter in a Star Wars RPG campaign. I call it The Velvet Fog.

I'd fly a wreck so outdated even reavers would be afraid to fly it. of course it would only look like said ship and would more than likley beable to out maneuver most ships its size and mayhaps a few smaller. It would look like hell was belch forth from a factory and when the noxious fumes cleared this is what remained.

I would call it the Broken Oni

It would be a good time. now if only i could find people crazy enought to fly it and live on it.

I also had a 1980 Ford Granada (which is spanish for Fortress btw) and i called it Tank.. because it had proven it was so. i got in 3 wrecks in that car and by the time the transmission finaly died it still only had a crushed fender. It tore everyitnig from the radiator forward off a Honda Civic in a part head-on/t-bone collision wich i never even stopped for.. but the guy was turning against traffic illeagaly anyways. he got what was comin to him. no blinker either. I avoided another wreck, caused by a lack of blinker and probably avoided killing the old lady, by driving off the road and taking out 50 feet of fencce and barbed wire as well as a large chunk of blackberry bushes. The fender was crahed by a rear corner collision with an Aerostar. i crushed my fender.. he lost all the back and left side paneling on his aerostar.. that was my bad. i owned up to it. i ran a truck full of drunk redknecks off the road after the hit my car with a jack daniels bottle. SOB's couldnt drive thier truck anywhere after that.

I may seem like a calous individual, but the fact remains. i have only ever been at fault in 1 (or 2 if you look at it in a leagle sense) of the 9 or so accidents i've been in.

Quite frankly im sick of people who dont think before they drive.

somehow this got away from my car and onto my road rage issues. sory about the ranting kids. i get started and i just cant stop sometimes.

I'm sure y'all know how it is.

I'm running a Farscape RPG. I didn't want to give the group a Leviathan(gigantic living ship) to begin with, so I gave them a Firefly. I told them they needed to name their ship, and they came up with "Mystic Dren". If you're familiar with Farscape you may be able to translate that. Basically, it means "Holy Sh!t".

At first I thought they were kidding, but the name stuck.

LMGAO... I'm at work!!

That is sooo funny.

If it was in the FF universe I might name it the F.U. FOX

naah...

Maybe Foxhunter? Actually sounds kinda cool too :P

Alright, now trying to think of a serious name...

... and I can't think of anything at the moment. I'll post back later! ;)

BTW, I was just thinking, isn't it funny how we name ships, etc, but few people name cars? After this topic, I think I'll actually name my first car (when I get one), but before it, the idea would never even have occured to me and would have seemed strange.

I had an old RX7 that spit smoke like a dragon, so I named it Trogdor(the Burninator).

A personal ship, Serenity sized or smaller: Ripley (no 'The')
Anything much larger would probably be The Heinlein.

My computers are always called Ripley, and my car probably would be but it really isn't 'smart' enough (no general purpose computer, no autopilot). And, despite being ten years old, my car still hasn't earned any other name.

My house is called Half Moon Hollow, though.

anyway this is so funny!!

Yeah, this is really a trip. I gave up on GH long ago and recently had to turn off AMC (I choose life!! haha) but still looking for Binks to get the baby back. I loved liz with lucky back in the day when she was a recovering brat, but haven't seen her with all the folks since then.

Dominqua's FF page has some really, hot fics and a couple with OLTL/GH crossover characters you might like.

Anyway from this JoVan page you can get to both ezboard and yahoo lists. And just about anything else JoVan.

I hope you will come over and check it out (you may want to read the Yahoo list no mail or send the mail to a folder -- there were like 400 messages yesterday. Ai ya!!) People are really wonderful, crazy but also civil, unlike the horror that is ABC and about.com MB and anywhere else the JoVan people have to interface with the Jolie people (they are not taking our couple well, I tell you!!).

Take care, piratejenny!!

Hmm, I used to drive a 1980 2 ton van. She told us her name was Bertha. And there was much rejoicing, for she was Ber-tha, the Ever-Living. Mum-Ra was her second cousin, once removed.

You a Thundercats fan? I loved that show... wish it had a DVD set. Seriously. I watched it a few years back, Cartoon Network alternately showed it on Toonami, then dropped it, then picked it up again... So my viewing is filled with holes, missing several KEY eps. Good show. :)

Say... Thundercat is a good ship name ;)
