Thread: What will you name your ship?
For me with my human fencer/commando:
X-Wing - Fire Blade
B-Wing - Summ'er Solstice
With my Trandoshan smuggler/pistoleer:
YT-1300 - Broken Promise
Hutt Fighter - Runaway
and whenever, and if, they ever become available to PCs my Corvette analog - The Voritor

Yeek. I think I'm hoping not to meet you in space; Wolf Larsen (from the Jack London book) was not a nice guy.
Incidentally, if you're really into that story, you might enjoyreading Philip Jose Farmer's reference in his book Tarzan Aliveto WolfLarsen. Although mostly about the "real" Tarzan,as part of his thesis Farmermanagesto show how such literary characters as Tarzan, Doc Savage, Sherlock (and Mycroft)Holmes, Bulldog Drummond, Nero Wolfe, Professor Challenger, and others are all "related" genealogically. (There was this radioactive meteorite that landed next to four couples in carriages in early Victorian England, you see, and....)
Interesting stuff.
