Title: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: Razorback on June 08, 2005, 03:30:45 pm Cpt. Doolittle of the scout ship Dark Star here. ;D Who can name the reference?
Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: vesqu on June 08, 2005, 05:20:15 pm IMDB tells that Dark Star is a John Carpenter sci-fi movie made in 1974 :P
Only Finns can fully understand the names of my ship and captain in my most recent UQM session. The Ship: AIV-liuos The Captain: Sikanauta What do those basically mean? Well, AIV-liuos is a Finnish invention that helps people to keep the fodder for their cattle fresh :) Sikanauta is a what English people would call a certain type of meat that has both pork and cow in it :P You may guess, that I don't think about the names in UQM that much. Instead, it is fun to give names like that. Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: Arne on June 08, 2005, 07:00:15 pm I always forget to name the ship&capt
Dark Star was a student(?) movie written by Dan O'Bannon or something, the same guy who later made the synopsis for Alien. edit: I always take extra care of my Syreen ship when Ripley pilots it.

"I always take extra care of my Syreen ship when Ripley pilots it." Especially useful when there's an orz loose onboard your penetrator, killing off the crew one by one. Of course, they're in pressure suits, so the airlock thing won't be to useful. Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship?

I can see the Hayes' face as he says "the starship WHAT?" Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: Deus Siddis on June 08, 2005, 09:10:08 pm "I can see the Hayes' face as he says
'the starship WHAT?'" Not so difficult to picture, as he has no facial expression. Of course, when dealing in matters of life and death, one must have the poker face of a prosimian. Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: jack cloudy on June 09, 2005, 01:39:37 am I never knew that you could change the names. :(
I guess I'll start all over agian and try to change them. I'll make them the following. Captain: Jack Cloudy Ship: Vengeance Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: Halleck on June 09, 2005, 07:02:13 am Dark Star! Loved that movie. :)
As to myself... i'm generally uncreative. Captain Halleck of the Starship Razor was my last known preference, although I started a new game with the starship Corsair recently. Oh and jack cloudy: no need to start over! Just go into Game>Settings>Captain and Game>Settings>Flagship to change them. Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: 0xDEC0DE on June 09, 2005, 09:31:26 am Why, Captain Reynolds of Serenity (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/), of course!

Captain Head of the Starship Cheese Captain Beer of the Starship Nuts Captain Cotton of the starship Balls theres alot more but i dont want to waste everyones time with a full list... Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: Death 999 on July 15, 2005, 11:35:07 pm One time I had the main ship get really badly beaten up in combat. After combat, I changed the name of the captain (as if the original had died). Can't remember either name, though.
Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: Art on July 16, 2005, 11:45:44 am The Captain can't die. Isn't he the only one who has any idea how to work the computer, after all? If he couldn't teach Professor Farnsworth over the course of a decade I have a hard time imagining him training a replacement...

Post by: SpeedFreek on August 16, 2005, 11:38:49 pm I just downloaded the game yesterday and am really enjoying it so far!
I named my Captain Dallas and my flagship Nostromo, which has a nice link to the opening post in this thread ;D Also, I watched the movie Darkstar just last week, I picked it up on DVD for £5. It's a classic ;) Title: Re: What did you name your Cptn. and ship? Post by: roets on September 08, 2005, 01:39:20 am Captain Roets of the Genesis, and since yesterday the Darkstar.
No i didn't relate it with Dark Star. =) But i came up with it as i remembered playing a HL mod called darkstar and i found the name suitable. Now i must continue playing, i just got to the orz part and the surface explorations with the mentioning of "them" :o creepy. i hope to find some more info about that during the game.

Totally lacking in originality I know but the comments regarding "kicking major alien butt!" and the dealings with Talana just made it seem more and more appropriate... Recently though it's been Captain Cod of the Starship BirdsEye........ I think only someone from the UK might get that reference, but I may be wrong...
