I'm trying to collate a selection of names for the player to choose from to call their ship.
Please post here in the following format (in the quote) so that things don't get confusing:

If you see a name posted by someone else you really like, mention it again in your post.
I will be including the most popular names in the mod.

The Executioner
Hade's Storm
Poseiden
The Fury
The Neptune

heres some ships from real history:

SCHOONER
The Schooner has a narrow hull, two masts and is less than 100 tons. She is generally rigged with two large sails suspended from spars reaching from the top of the mast toward the stern. Other sails sometimes were added, including a large headsail attached to the bowsprit. She had a shallow draft which allowed her to remain in shallow coves waiting for her prey. The Schooner is very fast and large enough to carry a plentiful crew. It was a favorite among both pirates and smugglers.

SHEBEC (XEBEC)
The Shebec was favoured among Barbary pirates for she was fast, stable and large. They could reach 200 tons and carried from 4 to 24 cannon. In addition she carried from 60 to 200 crewmen. The Shebec had a pronounced overhanging bow and stern, and three masts which were generally lateen-rigged. In addition to sails she was rowed.

SLOOP
The Sloop was fast, agile, and had a shallow draft. Her size could be as large as 100 tons. She was generally rigged with a large mainsail which was attached to a spar above, to the mast on its foremost edge, and to a long boom below. She could sport additional sails both square and lateen-rigged. She was used mainly in the Caribbean and Atlantic. Today's sailing Yacht is essentially a sloop.

TARTAN
The name Tartan applies to an Arabic ship which was fast, manueverable, and narrow. She sported one mast with a lateen mainsail and a small foresail on her bowsprit. In addition she carried around 30 oars, 15 per side. Sometimes a small mizzen mast was added with a lateen sail. She was used in the Mediterranean by the Barbary and Corsair pirates

Wow then there can be a prince to, hey were giving ship names here, stick to that, don't wander off you might get lost

Posted by: Phsyron Oct 31 2006, 02:25 AM

hmmmm i think that we're missing something important here:

all ships have names, that's given.

but most ships also have a prefix (U.S.S./H.M.S./S.S.)

i say I.S.S. for imperial ships, something else for the others?

and as for names, what about some classics?

The Eye of the Abecean!!!!!

Posted by: browncoatgandalf Apr 13 2008, 07:57 PM

i don't know how to quote, but the "government manual for pirates" says a ship's name must be a pun and some good names are
Blood Vessel
Death Merchant Marine
Craft Unfair
A Painful Berth
I Keel You
The Black Catamaran
H.M.S. Parasite
The Bad Ship Lollipop

and i say
'Black Moon' is good
Black Pearl
Black Death

oh, and it wouldn't be I.S.S. it would be just I.S. for Imperial Ship or I.N.S. for Imperial Navy Ship, and that would be government owned ships that usually have prefixes, so a pirate ship wouldn't have to have one.

Posted by: ViktorVasko May 18 2008, 07:18 AM

I second this one, as I was thinking the exact same thing

Posted by: 12g951ad Jun 9 2008, 02:29 PM

The Duke of Anvil
The Widowmaker
The Scourge's Galleon

This is pretty cool one I heard of:

By day the honourable and royal galleon sails the seas as 'The Darting Heir', yet rearrange the letters and by night it stalks the sea as the prioate ship 'The Nightraider'. A schizophrenic ship!
