I took some of those you guys listed, modified some and made up my own. Now to decide on one.

It will be very protagonist in nature, yet pretty gruff. The ship will be the means of doing missions that are behind the scenes ways of keeping the politics of the world in line. (think the movie Wanted, James Bond, XXX, and any other organization with a behind the scenes mentality.) The overall campaign will be very secretive and the crew members will be looked at as outcasts and lawbreakers much of the time.

Sorry, have to ask to make my vote more meaningful.

Is this a Protagonist ship or an antagonist ship when it is introduced to the players?

If gnomes built it, it has to be called the S.S. Misgnomer.

I’ll vote silent vindication due to the different possible meaning of vindication which might all fit regardless. smile

Apart from this I actually looked vengence up to see if I didn’t know that word (non-native speaker ftl!), but I’m sure you meant vengeance, eh? rasberry

Last Hope. I think one such airship should have an off-the-wall, sort of ironic name.

And awww, no Pink Cameron? :(

I’ll vote for Silent Vindication, but I honestly don’t really like any of those.  They’re too telegraphic for a clandestine organization.  They’re named after exactly the kind of thing the members do.  A more mercantile name would fit better, IMHO, and some “trade” goods (for real too, think about how much cash they could make in the side business of trafficking goods from place to place.  And as clandestine as they’ll be, I’m sure they’ll be hitting some interesting ports of call with lots of exotic goods.  Like the A-Team mixed with the Uncharted Waters console game from the early 90s.  But now I’m just projecting.).

Anyway, that’s my buck fifty.

A ship can always have two names though.
The cover (which should change from time to time).

And its true name.

I keep intending to start planing ahead but I keep putting it off.

I promise you all that I will make reference to the name Pink Cameron at some point in the first session with the airship. It is just too good to pass up.

Maybe that’s what it used to be named.

Just remember the unwritten rule of tough nicknames for folks and things. The tougher the name of the thing the faster it does absolutely nothing.

I’d name it after a woman that the captain once loved. That’s classic.

I know, wrong thread and a day late and $.02 short.

no name no slogan

Apparently “Hindinburg II” was not a popular choice.

If your going to name it that you might as well make the symbol a giant flaming ball of fire cheese
