I don't know what to name my character

[Alienslayer2406]

I've been wracking my brain for what feels like the past hour trying to come up with a decent RP name for my CMDR. I don't want to use my actual name because I don't want to put any identifying information on my profile.

I thought about the name Virgo, but apparently that name means "virgin" or whatever, and I don't want to be known as the guy flying around that's literally named "virgin".

I thought about the name Lorian, since that name combined with Commander would be a play on words of "Mandalorian", but that's taken already.

I've thought about naming him Lonestar, after the guy from Spaceballs, but...[/i] no. [/i]

Can anyone maybe help give me a little inspiration? I'm really struggling here.

Bob Buckless / Rusty Kracarok / Dusty Lancearok / Voidangel / Lostchild
just to help your confusion.

Cmdr Ambivalent?

I just decided to name him my Xbox gamertag but re-arranged to look like an actual name. Thought I would let you know. Thanks for the suggestions, anyway.

Already exists IIRC.

How about Commander McCommanderFace.

I like it. Very creative.

I actually tried naming my CMDR "Lonestar", but that was taken already. Sucks.

I formally request a name change.

I've already got Hugh jardon, so you can't have that, but I think Hugh Jarse might be free.

Hey, I know this is off-topic, but I don't want to crowd the forums.

I'm thinking about upgrading from the Sidewinder. Would an Eagle be good for mining, or cargo missions? Or should I save up for something like an Adder, or a Hauler?

if its cargo and mining. save for the cobra mk3
its 350,000 and more than worth it sticking with the side winder for a few more hours.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I just really like the Eagle's design, though. It looks like a stereotypical main character's spaceship, and not a flying slice of pizza.

A name is a name is a name, that's it, that's all it ultimately is, what's wrong with the name you are already using here?, strike fear into the heart of the Thargoid menace? or not, as the case may be..

The Eagle is more suited for combat than cargo or mining. The Cobra Mk. 3 is versatile. It can do pretty much anything.

Technically, I [/i] am [/i] using the name I'm using here. I named my commander "A. Slayer" because I thought that would at least make it resemble a IRL name.

The Adder is the cheapest ship you can Core mine in. You need a Medium hardpoint to core mine. Adder is the cheapest "multipurpose" ship; it can mine, run Rare Goods cargo, can function in Low Resource Extraction Site (RES) combat, and explore to reasonable degrees.
The Sidewinder, Eagle, Type 6, Dolphin, and Type 7 only have Small hardpoints and thus cannot Core mine.
The Cobra III is a better Adder, just more expensive. It can mine, run Rare Goods cargo, and do decent enough in combat to get you a better combat-oriented ship like a Vulture or Chieftain. Cobra III not the best at combat, but its fast and agile enough to get you money with police assistance.
Laser mining, the first real laser mining rig you can get is Imperial Clipper but requires rank grind. Small ships are just too low on cargo hold to really make money doing it; Platinum relies on selling very large quantities. Core mining, small ships like the Adder and Cobra can do, because they only need 16 tons of cargo room to make good money. Same with Rare Goods trading: you only need 14-20 tons of cargo to run them.

Adder is a straight upgrade of Sidewinder, I recommend it to anyone that's not dead set on specializing into combat or exploration. Cobra III is a straight upgrade of the Adder, again a solid recommend unless you're dead set on combat for money.

Also off topic doesn't really matter as long as its productive :P
