is this uncommen or commen

Hmm.. well.. I try to give my ships non standard names too, to throv the opponent off. An 'AntHill class Destroyer' is less descriptive to an oposite player then 'Missile Destroyer and DUC Destoyer'.

An opponent can get a lot from names of your ships... Strange names makes it less transparent for them Just make sure it works for you.

wow, i think that is very uncommon. how do you track all the individual ships?
or do you just name them for fun and use them in normal afterwards, so in bigger groups or fleets?

Well.. it doesn't happen often I guess. But I'd imagine that if I had elite ships I'd give the elite ships names too to keep 'm apart. Make 'm my flagships
I think that's cool enough

I do sometimes name my worlds though

When I play against the AI, I often name all my ships, because I don't have that many. Plus it adds a roleplaying aspect like, "You bastards! You blew up the Bonaventure! I genocide you now!" But when playing against humans I have so many bloody ships it's easier to keep track of things when they don't have individual names. Except when I retrofit a whole bunch of ships. Man, does that get messy!

Suction feet are not to be trifled with!

I always name all combat ships, not support ships

I think its really uncommon. I only name the class of the ship, so I have, as an example, the Retaliator MK1 Class, Fury Class, etc. Seems to me that naming every single fleet would require a lot of time

Against the AI I name every one of my ships. This little gem helps immensely.
