Hello again!

So I thought of this earlier: every ship in the game has a name, save for the Empire faction shuttles. Why is this? Every class of ship has a designation- even the CONCORD ones have official names (Marshall-class Battleship, etc.)!

This is to encourage some discussion and hopefully bring attention to this; all ships should have a name at the very least!

I have a couple of ideas for names for them, but feel free to suggest your own!

Amarr: Paige

Caldari: Sparrow

Gallente: Helm

Minmatar: Lance


That's all for now- cheers! Blink

Edit- as for the special edition shuttles:

I typically name mine "Glorified Ham & Eggs" or "Da Shaggin Wagon", though actual names would be cool.

If this happened the Amarr Shuttle would be named after my ex-girlfriend.
