Thinking about Stars Without Number and ship names.
Thinking about Stars Without Number and ship names. I think meteorological phenomena make great ship names. Like the Clear Air Turbulence from the Culture novels.
Let's see:
The Cyclonic Rotation
The Polar Vortex
The Tropical Depression
El Nino
The High Pressure Front

Bret Gillan looked up "meteorological phenomena" on wikipedia like I did!
ReplyDeleteSun Dog is especially good.
I like to think I'm the only one who knows about Wikipedia so I look particularly clever.
ReplyDeleteBret Gillan If you were transplanted to 1982 with a netbook hooked up to the 2014 internet, you could be a vigilante superhero! You'd probably have to fight the Yakuza with uzis and Chinese stars.
ReplyDeleteI think Tropical Depression is my favorite.
ReplyDelete"Guys, I can't handle space anymore. I'm just gonna land on this planet and take a nap."
Casey Garske Yeah, that ship would be the size of the Millennium Falcon, but with a bar setup like the Enterprise lounge in Next Generation. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm fond of "Sun Dog" with "Freezing Rain" a good second. "Freezing Reign" perhaps?
ReplyDeleteGoogle autoawsomed this picture:

Now it's the "Chance of Flurries."
I love the autoawesome'd version.
ReplyDeleteRear Inflow is probably a poor choice for a ship name but it does fit the criteria.
