I was leafing through a book tryig to find a name for my star ship when I found this-
NERF - Rangy, sour dispositioned herbivore. Produces the most deliciouis (and expensive) steaks from their flanks. Tends to spit when irritated.
(a Naboo creature resembling a scrawnmy narglatch)

I just had a thought.. The only one this week
Do you think the devs might introduce the Nerf as a new creature for the CHs?

We already got it....
Erf, not as a creature, that is.
Well we have bugs... (and *also* as creatures

Im the proud owner of the Tin goose, and of course my crowning achievement, my YT1300- the Aluminium Mallard.

I haven't named it yet.
I tried to name it after a crystal I fond on one of the outer rim planets. The Game wouldn't let me use it so I'm still trying to figure it out.
I'm not avery goodpilot yet so I'm not in a big hury to find a ferociously terrrifying name only to embarass myself.
BTW-
Did you know its hard to steer those things with a flame thrower clutched in your fist?
I think I'll light up th eSmuggler forum with my critter discovery.
Look for the thread about an untrue rumor - don't believe this one-

Name it CURBinator.
Or the Inter-Stellar Flamer.
Or Flying Boomstick.
Or maybe just IBlowStuffUp.

Ha ha.
I've got good names for my ship
I name each of my ships "Black Scythe".
Every time I replace it (haven't yet) I simply call it Black Scythe II or Black Scythe III.
Hmm but I think of some other good ones.
"Nerf Batter"
"Lag Gun"
"!DA PWNAGE!"
"I Blow Up In Pieces"
"Can't See From Cockpit"
"Emperor's Toy"
"I'm Clastrophobic"
"Where's That Button"
Why did we even start talking about ships in the first place?

You can always stick with a simple military calsign as an intermediary name too. My X-Wing is Red 2.
