Just noticed the name of my ship changed...

[MasterZoen]

Towards the start of the game I captured a Va'Ruun Hymn ship, and I just noticed that when I upgraded it's weapons that the name changed to "Ecliptic Combat A01". As someone raised to be a servant of the Great Serpent, I'm not happy about that. SMH

Lol. Rename it. There is a option for doing that in the ship builder.

[Vellari]

Known issue atm.

That is, captured ships sometimes reverting "to random something ship" and possibly not renameable in ship builder either when it happens.

Wait for patch, or use the ship duping glitch (the duped ship can be renamed, sell the original).

Easy fix, just change the name to what you want.

I didn't realize you could rename ships since I haven't needed to. Unfortunately, I couldn't rename it due to the bug as Vellari mentioned.

I didn't know there was a ship duping glitch. I'm tempted to use it, but I think I'll just sell the ship and capture another one that's Class C. It was literally the second ship I had in the game, back before I was even 10th level, and was only a Class A. I noticed the name change when I was updating the weapons now that I'm level 52 and found that there are much better weapons available thanks to Starship Design Lv 4.

The standard models are often "repurposed" by or for the other factions. Unless you give a ship a name, it might be renamed to the base model's design's original name. And even that might or might not work. I had that with a Spacer hauler, who got renamed UC Haul II over and over again. I sold it to make space for something different after hitting the ten cap.

Yeah, that limit of 10 ships is really frustrating. I'm trying to keep it down to 8 at the moment, since I have a different ship I use specifically for hauling, pirating, boarding, bounty hunting, and for exploration, that only leaves 5 slots. Then there's the Razorleaf, which I'm not getting rid of, my "faith" ship, and a slot just so I can board and capture, I've only got 2 slots left. *sigh* I don't need two dozen ships slots, but honestly just limiting it to 10 is very restrictive since I'd like to capture a ship from each faction. I wonder if that can be modded?

Even if you do, it just changes back to "Ecliptic Combat AO1" again.

i stole a Sloop off some random Smugglers, it wasn't any faction, and it had nothing to do with Ecliptic but still ended up with that name...

Occasionally it gets it's old name back, but most of the time it's "AO1"... I tried naming it something else, but it just reverts to AO1, so it's practically stuck as that.

I also have one called "Damaged Ship", which was a basically derelict "Space Ox". Can't rename that one either...

Oh, as an idea: you can try to do some minor changes, like changing the position of yout guns or some deco fluff, or remove a porthole or three... ...might work and costs little to change back.

Happened to me twice so far. Last time the Freestar Wrangler Renamed itself to "Pirate Ship".

Same here. My ship's default name was "UC Reef II" when I stole it. At some point the system renamed it to "Pirate Ship". I always wanted to be a pirate!

Is this related to the bug where your ship abandons you if it was originally a pirate ship?
