I try to find a good name and then number them if I happen to lost them.

Yep, I always name my ships. I like to have a theme for them, and the obvious army/ war/ navy names just aren’t for me.

So I use London Underground station names Works for me, and I have plenty to chose from

In a game where there is so little opportunity to make yourself visibly unique, naming your ship is about all you can do to mark the ship as your own.

It depends. If I’m expecting to lose the ship soon, it isn’t worth the trouble to come up with a witty name.

However, ships that I expect to keep for quite some time do get names. When I do name them, I tend to stick into a theme: For example, the last 3 Drakes I had were named Trader’s Folly, Gambler’s Compulsion and the Victim’s Guilt.
