Hi!

I wonder who uses what markings to designate engine type used on the ship.

I do that only with early large freighters: LF FM for Fuel-Mizer driven LF, LF-8 for AD-8... Most ships get the best engine available, so I name them rather by a class and the main component they carry (CC jihad, BB gattling, MML h110), or their main function (DD watchdog - early scoutkiller, DD sweeper...). Only rarely I give them also other names: FF ML You're not welcome (minelaying FF), Nub EierlegendeWollMilchSau (tachions, normal and speed bump mines, scanners, megaDisruptors, OTs).

The same is with orbitals, but there I use quite detailed description: SS 0 www12.10 2*7 means Starbase without gates, three weapons slots filled with jihads and colloidals, and two mass-drivers 7.

Such a naming is efficient, but for some other players probably boring. Wink

However those ships are just a tool. If they'd have nice names, I could get attached to them, and couldn't use them (send them to suicidal missions) properly. It also gives me 10 more minutes to move my ships, instead wasting them to find a funny name for each design I made.
BR, Iztok
