Title: Help with ship names (STO)
Post by: Paula on October 06, 2016, 09:22:58 PM
I started to play Star Trek online when it came out for PS4.
I need little help with ship names, I need words ending with -nce (nouns I believe they are in english)

I already have
Diligence
Prudence
and Excellence
Next will be Defiance.
Names I can come up straight from my head: Perseverance,  Brilliance, Vehemence (not very Starfleet-y), Valiance

So, help me come up with more names like those, with positive meanings.

I would advise against Defiance, but only because Captain Sisko had a ship called the Defiant. As for a positive name, why not Effervescence, Salience, or Persistence? Or maybe the SS Roddenberry?

And as I read this - the BBC are doing a 50 years of Star Trek item!

Actually I have played that game for years. Was playing on my science officer tonight.

Her ships are all named for composers:

Brahmas
Mozart
Beethoven
Vivaldi (what I'm flying right now)
Copland
Khachaturian
Greig

Too bad the PC and PS4 players can't play together or I could invite you to my fleet. Enjoy the game and I'm happy to provide coaching.

But for your theme there is also:

Evanescence
Chance
Advance
Impertinence

If you just want to go mess with some borg:  Annoyance

Well, my ship names have themes, you know ;) and me being me, already filled 4/5 character slots (you get 5 free char-slots when you start.)

My other federation toon has ships named:
Reyjavik
Midnight
Eclipse

My rommie:
Venacus (or something like that, a random default name)
Malem
General Xiopek (or however it was spelled. got it from Romulan lore (thank you Memory Alpha)
D'vex

my KDF orion(ess) only has one ship (she's only level 9, I probably spent more time fiddling with her outfit than actually doing missions *blush* )
Gallant.

I know there's Defiant in VOY...I've seen literally dozens of Enterprises flying around (don't they have more imagination?)

I would love to be in same fleet Suz, but I understand why PC-players won't want to start from beginning again.

Does the Gorn-y pun thingy go around in PC-chat too?

Whut? The redshirts always die!

Thanks for the tips, lot of wonderful suggestions. Although I needed the dictonary for some of those words :)

I did end up naming Jenna's new Escort-ship Solaris though

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_%28novel%29) I never seen the movie but I did love the book.

Yes, but in this game... sometimes you ARE the red shirt!
