Re: Indy's Civilian Ship Names

ship and yacht names, now, vary tremendously, and there is no reason to
assume this will be different in the future.

some civilian starship names used in games by me for a very long time
are listed below;

TINY WONDER, TYPE A2 FREE TRADER. well armed ( both turrets have puls
lasers x3) free trader plying the frontier, with  a long service crew
of 12.	

HELLO THERE!, TYPE R SUBSIDIZED MERCHANT. independently owned, heavily
armed ( all turrets fitted; beam laser x 1, sandcaster x 1 ea) with part
of the cargo hold converted to fuel tankage to increase her "legs"  a
ship with a "shady rep" but nothing definate  to place her outside the
law.

BACK FROM THE  DEAD, TYPE R SUBSIDIZED MERCHANT (formerly  named STELLA
BY STARLIGHT-hey, i did'nt name her, i just recovered her and renamed
her!). ambushed in orbit of a frontier world,	damaged, abandoned by
her  paniced crew, captured by space pirates, taken to an out system
rockdock for repairs.  rockdock was accidentally discovered by the crew
of a TYPE A2 FREE TRADER named NOVA TEXAS during a  charter  supporting
a small asteroid mining company. NOVA TEXAS  captured the weakly
defended rockdock and TYPE  R undergoing repairs there.  
at present the other half of NOVA TEXAS SHIPPING.

LADY BE GOOD, 1,000 ton  Non Standard Orbit to Orbit freighter. lightly
armed, equipped with two 95-ton shuttlecraft  and  two 20 ton ship's
gigs.  

SHENANDOAH, a 600 ton  Non Standard Surface to Surface explorer,  part
of  a  small consortium of independently owned vessels (13 vessels).

NOVA TEXAS, TYPE  A2 FREE TRADER. honest trader, suspected  smuggler,
and  pirate's bane.   the other half of NOVA TEXAS SHIPPING. 

MAN OF LA MANCHU, TYPE A2 FREE TRADER. honest trader, explorer,  builder
of colonies,  bounty hunter,  recovery agent,	mercenary,  pirate's
bane, tilts at windmills upon occassion. smart, fast, well armed, with
multiple  transponder  IDs. has been on all sides of the law at various
times and places, but always comes out	 smelling like a rose (so far!).
rumored to have many  friends in  very high places. . . .

just a few.
