For those that have the PDF or the creators (arg... wait is killing me and I'm about to renounce my evil bioconservative ways and get the pdf too...) does EP have ships and habitats with colorful names to them? Those that have read the Culture series know what I'm talking about but some other stories also have them and I was wondering if EP did the same. Had a brainstorm with some friends that produced such names as "A Callous Expression of Deco", "Don't Hit The String!" "The Completion Backward Principal (tip of the hat to the Tubes)", "Bonestell Had It Wrong...", "This Isn't The Ship You're Looking For...", and "Immortaler Than Thou!"

What's in a name?
I don't think we mention any in the core book, but we do this with some names of ships (mostly Scum Barges) in Sunward.

- Phelan's Recourse (scum swarm in Saturn's rings)
- Song Cai Flower (small criminal barge in the outer system)
-
Caleb Williams (anarchist ship around which is centered the main settlement on Tethys)
-
Carnival of the Goat (an itinerant scum barge where revelry & decadence prevail)
We haven't really introduced a lot of big ships into the game, because they're not where the action typically takes place. Most interplanetary traffic is either military, long haul freight, or self-propelled raw materials (iron-nickel asteroids, comets). This might change as we get deeper into the setting.I'm thinking of writing up a habitat for novacrabs called "Melted Butter" just because I've been eating too much seafood lately.
Not necessarily, in Sunward we have a lot of characters with last names.
