Lost Among the Stars, Signup and World building

One Rebel Ship being a huge capital ship, one being a little tiny freighter. You know whos going to do the most damage to that imp ship.

Now how to include that rubber duck...

Looks interesting. Mind if I join in with a post-Schism Covenant assault carrier?

I don't see why not.

...damn, I forgot how big those damn ships were...

I'm trying to limit military ships to 3000 meters in length or less >.>

If it's too big, use one of the UNSC ships. They're a bit smaller.

It has to be Covenant. UNSC personnel are rather... dull.

Right, a cruiser looks to be within limit. Not sure if I should reduce the complement, though - CCS class cruisers are normally packed to the brim with troops and vehicles, unlike the CAS class assault carriers.

But you must admit the humans have cooler ship names.

Like the Feeling Lucky? and Pillar of Autumn

Pillar of Autumn is indeed a nice name. So's Forward Unto Dawn. Hell, most of the poetic names are like that. All Under Heaven, Edge of Umbra, Lance Held High, Spirit of Fire. XD

Here's a nice one: Inspiral, Coalescence, Ringdown. And another one: Hence the Fortress.

How about the Daring, the Audacity and the Suicidal Insanity?

Daring and Audacity are rather boring. >.>

How about the An-22 Anteus? It's an airplane named after a giant who loses his strength when lifted from the ground. At least the NATO name is something well know for rising: Cock. (I'm not kidding, look it up.)

Yamato

Just Saying

I think we have enough Wave Motion Guns.

I prefer the poetic names to the mythological or virtuous ones.

Though the outright ridiculous ones are fun.

How about the four Eurofighter Typhoons defending the Falklands? Faith, Hope, Charity and the plane they keep in reserve: Desperation.

The OreODareDaToOmoteYagaru?

Certainly poetic.

All bland, endlessly recycled names. >.>

I'm fairly certain 'Who the hell do you think I am' is not the name of a vehicle.

How about the Temporary Insanity 2?

What happened to number one?

Anyway, weren't we talking about Halo ships' names? <.<

I have no idea.
Don't forget: Fireball XL 5.

Well, it kinda deteriorated. BTW, if you're looking for funny ship names, here's one: The Usual But Etymologically Unsatisfactory.

One UNSC ship has the dumbest name ever, though: Say My Name.

In Halo 4, you will be on a ship called the UNSC Running Out Of Ideas.

As for a funny ship name, it's from a fic and it's more a play on the ship names in Halo themselves: Sword of Photonic Emissions that Occur when Metals are Agitated by Electonvolts.

I chose Typhon as in Greek Myths, Typhon was a monster that almost beat Zeus to death

I went for Iliad because it goes with Odyssey.
