I need spaceship names, please.

[Azuresun]

Some I've used in a Rogue Trader game:

Invisible Hand

Creator's Remorse

Wandering Monster

Gaberlunzie (an archaic term for a licensed beggar)

Iolanthe


When I played Eve Online, I tended to name my ships after the magic swords from Bleach, which I was really into at the time.

Sacred Spear

Black Moon Cutter

Falling Cherry Blossom

Crimson Princess

Thousand Year Echo

Mirror Flower Water Moon

And one of my personal favouritesfrom that game....for context, the Damnation-class command ship is designed to boost an entire fleet, so you only need one of them, and it had a really cool glossy black colour scheme. So this ship was sitting in the middle of a fleet of green and golden ships, and it was simply called:

I've always been partial to the idea of naming an interplanetary spaceship after Ar Pharazon from The Silmarillion

[Duff]

Subtle Persuasion
Size Matters
Size Doesn't Matter (best on a very big ship, or a really small one if you want to have the owner/captain to be laughed at)

[Bohandas]

The War Star
and
The Famine Star

completing the pattern started by Star Wars (The Death Star) and Tuf Voyaging (The Plague Star)

[Anonymouswizard]

The War Star
and
The Famine Star

completing the pattern started by Star Wars (The Death Star) and Tuf Voyaging (The Plague Star)

The second should be The Conquest Star which is a cool name anyway.

[Bohandas]

Continuing with my word association method

the Fat Eagle,
the Aeon Raptor
the Turkey
the Angaria
the Geas Prime
the Big Dog

(named after Falcon Heavy, The Millenium Falcon, The Cornucopia of Excellent Goods, Slave One, and Great Fox, respectively)

[Metastachydium]

The second should be The Conquest Star which is a cool name anyway.

Alright, I'm officially taking back four bad things of your choice that I've ever said about you anywhere on this forum. Keep up the good work!

[Witty Username]

A planet in its original context, but I would definitely want a spaceship named The Arsenal of Freedom.

A quick mnemonic that I use, purpose and value.
Identity a value
Freedom, glory, Valor
Identify the purpose
Destruction, defense, Intimidation, transport

Then put them together in a coherent way:
Like say we have a ship, an exploration ship for purpose. Tools of exploration can get to that idea as an object so that will make the name more clear. Then we can generate a few names with different values:
Wealth, Fortune's Compass
Discovery, The Scope of Reason
Colonization, Homeward Star

Also, for a faster one: proper name, value of the owner:
Star Wars example: Name: Talon Karrde; value: Gambling, Puns; Ship: Wild Karrde
Doesn't have to be the owner's name either, it could be a mythological character, historical character, or some other connection:
Odin's Might
Alexander's Glory
Queen Anne's Revenge
