I think a crafty admiral would use this to his advantage and give his ships names that cause great confusion. Examples...

-Just a blip on the radar
-A piece of debris
-Your mother

Meh, it's pretty weak. Let's see everyone think of some better names to cause confusion.

It makes sense actually. I'd name my flagship 'Just a blip on the radar'.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244221/776150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/244221/776150.page GMT Naming ships and causing confusion Your Mother is preparing a broadside!"

Anything for that split second advantage...

Try naming your ship 'My Pants'.

"Fire all torpeos at My Pants!"
"Find My Pants and take it down"
"My Pants are escaping into the warp!"

I shouldnt have had that beer at lunch...

Heh, actually made me chuckle. Stupid internetz.

My favorite for online gaming was Delta Force 2 when people would have the screen name "A chubby puppy" and would kill themselves.

"A cubby puppy thought it was all just too much".

"Captain A Harmless Comet has appeared on our scopes."

"Sir A Friendly Ship is in front of us."

"Admiral! Our Allies, Our Reinforcements and Our Relief just warped in behind us!"

And of course...

"Sir there's a ship closing in on us!"
"What's it called."
"Captain Smyte You Bastard I Hate You!"
BANG! Captain Smyte executes his helmsman.
"You there, take his chair and give me an update!"

This wins the thread!

However, it's the taking part that counts not the winning:
"Fire upon 'The Emperor!'"

"Sir, 'That' just warped in behind us!"

"something"
"the warp"
"an unarmed vessel"
