Thread: Your ships, their names, and their uses...

Just as a kinda "have fun" thread...list your Ships, what you use them for, and their names (if you've named them).

I've never named my ships...not due to the fact that I lack creativity (well, that too....), but that I wanted to change them so often that I got annoyed and left 'em default.


Anyway...


X-Wing: General Mining Ship. 2 Mining Lasers and a Tractor is a good, solid vessel IMO.

A-Wing: Specialty Combat. I use this for taking out the 'vette for Guildies/Anyone that needs it, and PvP.

B-Wing: General PvE. Huge firepower in those 4 guns, I like the way it looks and feels...decent engine makes it less bulky.

ARC-170: Just have it...might use it for fun, but I don't really see it being a staple PvE nor PvP ship.

Nova Courier: Big fan of POB ships...this is my new baby, with the new POB components I'm hoping to take her out more often in PvP.

Y-8 Mining Ship: Waiting (im)patiently for them to fix this so I can actually start my mining operations to build POB components.




(note: by "new baby" on the Nova, I was refering to the point that I've mastered all 3 factions, and go up on weekly Deep Space runs with POB ships...and just acquired my Nova, which I love despite it's huge size [my engineer hates it]).



So, gimme your lists!

Hmm, lesseee


Electro:


Ixiyen Fighter (Indignation) - General fighter ship. Cyber-cookie for anyone who can tell what game I got the name from

TIE Bomber (Black Lich) - Heavy attack ship, gunship killer



Hydrolus:


B-Wing (Poseidon's Spear) - General use ship (yes, I know its a bomber, I like it though so I use it as my main). Pretty much everything

I just got my advanced X-wing. I think "Capitol Punishment" represents its firepower appropriately. It is my new primary ship. I will still use "Echo Leader," my A-wing, for PvP though.

I plan to outfit my nova into a hot party vessel. As a master architect, I have many options.

only 3 atm, working on a few more:


Krayt - RSF Gunstar - Flying tank for PvE duties. Also mining capable.


Vaksai - Diplomacy - PvP crate. Still messing around with the components, but should be a solid ship once i piece everything together.


YT-1300 - Millenium Schlock - Flying safety-deposit box. Also usefull for helping friends with grinding, hop in a turret and go nuts. Haven't gotten a chance to look at elite components yet, so i dunno what changes they'll bring.

Krayt- Line Rider. I use it for pretty much all my missions.


YT- Jolly Junker. I use it to camppawns and get in the turret. I also use it to travel most of the time.


Yacht- Lost Horizon. Don't use it much at all.


Vaksai- no name. Just got it and haven't figured out whats it's use going to be.


Y8- Haven't unpacked it yet. Currently using the Krayt as my mining ship.

On my main pilot :-

All my ships are blueberry :-
III is a Longprobe - used for most things, PvP, PvE etc.
IV is an X-Wing - Kitted out for mining, will be replaced with Grevious fighter when my alt manages to do the quest.
VI is my Nova, Not used as much as I'd like.
VII is my Y-8 - mining of course when it's sorted.
VIII is my ARC - I LOVE this ship, used solo for helping guildies where I can get away with it.
IIX will be my Grevious.
The Blueberry Yacht is self explanitory, needs decorating as I've only just managed to be able to have it due to ship numbers.


I was my Z95
II was my Y-Wing
V was my A-Wing.

Ghost of a Rose - TIE Bomber - General use ship. If I'm flying around, it's probably in this ship.
Naughty Pixie - TIE Interceptor - The answer to Lena's Jedi Starfighter. The only ship I have that can keep up with her. Doesn't hit very hard, and doesn't have much in the way of defenses, but she's a good distraction while I was for Lena to blow whatever it is up.
Loyal Snowflake - Heavy TIE Fighter - What I'm flying these days, as I quit Storm Squadron and joined the Inquisition.

M22-T Krayt - Striker - Used to be used for everything but pvp, was my baby for the longest time in game... Sadly it's now become my main mining ship. I never really did like how it handled, even with an RE Engine in it....


YT-1300 - Shadow Hawk - Used for Role Playing, helping friends get parts and XP. Not so much used anymore, however I still keep her around. Both the Hawk and Striker I can't see myself redeeding ever.


ARC-170 - Vode An (Brother's All) - For those who don't know the name, it's one of the tracks of the great Republic Commando soundtrack (one of the best Star Wars games ever to boot) all the songs in the game where sung in Mandalorian. And if you haven't played Republic Commando check it's site out, even has a Lyrics sheet with the songs in Mandalorian and in English. Anyhow I just found it fitting to name this ship that was used by clones. And believe it or not I love taking the ARC out, I use it for Duty Missions and helping friends gain Space XP. It's slowly taking the place of the Hawk.


ETA-2/Jedi Starfighter - Ka'rta Tor (One Heart of Justice) - And yes I am a Star Wars geek for naming them that. And I'm glad I dropped Rebel for a day and a half to get this ship. It's become my main fighter for the most part. So far I've racked up a few ISD kills with it, along with a few Vette kills as well. It's also used to help friends with there missions. As for pvp, maybe... With all the whining over it, I don't wanna add to it by useing it in pvp.


Vaksai - Kote (Glory) - Just got this baby today after soloing the Kash Vette mission. And tho everyone is saying how "It should have more guns!" "It's not as good as an A-Wing!" I like it. I don't know what it's going to be used for thus far, but it's a great little ship. Had this baby going 1500 today with a new player made Engine, and Engine Overload 3.

I just started really paying attention to space during the 4x XP week while I waited on village phases, so as a 3333 pilot, I currently fly two ships:


X-wing = grind/quests/fight/escort/travel = "Gunfighter"


Yacht = travel/storage = "Teufelhunde" (German for "Devil Dogs")


Note: When I was in the Marines (affectionately known as "Devil Dogs"), my helicopter squadron's callsign was the "Gunfighters". The name stuck with me and I still use it to this day for most of my online avatars and email addresses.
