Oh man, A Farmer and Banks fan, you sir, have taste.
And Iain Banks does have the best collection of ship names going. ever.
In addition to the names I listed in my post on Page 1 I'd also have to add "Serious Callers Only" to my shortlist, and as for the most "Smuggler Like" from Excession, you can't get much closer to on-topic than "Fate Amenable to Change"
I didn't think I was stealing his ship's name.
According to http://www.starwars.com/databank/character/talonkarrde/index.html and the Zahn novels, his ship is the Wild Kaarde. "The Idiot's Array" is the trump hand in Sabacc. Being a poker player that's why I picked it.

I want something cool and rougeish, but I just know I'm going to cave for a less clever and not-so-noble of a name like:
The Wagon Queen Family Truckster

Every good smuggler needs a ship. And every good ship needs a name. So, when the Space Expansion comes, what are you going to name your ship? (assuming we get the ability to do so...... /prays to the smuggling gods)
The Eagle 5? No way, I'd get people wondering where Lone Star was, and when Barf turned skinny, black and female.

I hope we can have two ships. I'm getting an X-wing, no question, but they run a little low on trunk space...so I'm gonna need something bigger for business trips.
So I'll call it the "Stationwagon".
Why not call it a Winnebago?
im probaly gonna name it after my company
'Quality Knockoff's Inc.'
