Sidewinder Names

[DeterminationFreak]

Just out of curiosity, what did y’all name your Sidewinders? I personally went with ‘The Throngler’.

 

[TheShepard256]

I keep its original name, because a) I'm not too good at coming up with names, and b) it has a dialogue variant in the scene where Olympia asks you to give it a proper name.

 

[Skunkupine]

The Liberator, as in Blake's Seven.

 

[Gabranth]

The Strahl.

 

[Tsinnah]

I went with something a bit more "naughty" so I can get a titillating chuckle every time I think of it.

Quim

 

[Animefan666]

I find it easier to name it based on which character I'm using. For example, on my taur character, it's The Pony Express.

 

[Gothamson]

Mr. President. I'm both unoriginal and slightly obsessed.

 

[J.M. Valentine]

For my main: Loup des Mers (Sea Wolf), the French appellation given to Admiral Thomas Cochrane - one of the greatest naval commanders in history and a really interesting guy.

 

[valk42]

Copperhead, because I think I'm funny/clever but aren't.

 

[unspiek]

I called it 'Olympus,' to compliment Olympia.

 

[I am that guy named Dick]

Mine is Called "The Dragons Den"

 

[Tsinnah]

I called it 'Olympus,' to compliment Olympia.

I was tempted with "Mons" similarly

 

[Adda]

The Slumber Party -- although I rarely use the Sidewinder. I prefer the MS-XI--although now that I can't choose ALL of the guns, I'm as big a fan.

 

[Amakawa Yuuto]

I usually call it the Morrígan, but I'm tempted to call it the Serial Peacemaker next time.

 

[Skunkupine]

I usually call it the Morrígan, but I'm tempted to call it the Serial Peacemaker next time.

Not the Post-Dated Check Loan?

 

[dralokyn]

Orgytron 3000

Not the Post-Dated Check Loan?

Post-Dated Check Loan is a nice joke, but "Serial Peacemaker" does get creepier the more you think about it.

Also, we don't have ship AIs. And even if I were to go name a sexy ship AI, I'd go with Tagii (or maybe Chinook), rather than the psychobear, benevolent as he may be.

 

[Skunkupine]

[....] I'd go with Tagii (or maybe Chinook), rather than the psychobear, benevolent as he may be.

What? No Rule 63 Petey? (But I do agree, I'd rather have Tagii any day.)

but "Serial Peacemaker" does get creepier the more you think about it.

 

[v3hemenc3]

I called it the Steele Cobra because I was binging a lot of Battletech around the time I got it. Steele Viper would probably be more accurate but those guys are dicks, so Cobra it is.

 

[TayJK]

Black Mamba, keeping with the snake theme. Plus I was thinking of Kill Bill at that moment.
