    Weeks ago I named my Jem'hadar Vanguard Warship to "D.V. Corona Giver", and just today I find out that STO finally forced a name change on my ship to badname 18973965, or whatever I just wanted to say I found it funny that it took them weeks to do something about it and in 1200+ hours of gameplay in STO this is the first time they've ever forced a name change on my ship like that aha.

    Interesting, I've seen far worse names than that and I have seen more than one ship with "corona" in it. Sounds to me you just came across the wrong STO player and he decided to squeal on you to the great Cryptic Gods... Apparently they listened... Suspicious

    example Tongue Out and no one complained about "Odo's Pimp Hand" apparently

    Oh no, no way, I thought we got enough of that trash on ESD zone chat, lol... I stay away from that garbage.

    I did once name my battleships, cruisers and destroyers after a number of the states; i.e. U.S.S. Virginia or U.S.S. North Dakota, etc etc... like the old World War II ships were named for their states. I'll pass on naming them after peeps like what you describe because otherwise it might be considered "fake news" in STO chat. Tongue Out

    Well, the second name is just out of spite because what could anyone have against the first prime minister of canada? Suspicious

    Given the current situation of the world, calling your ship "Corona Giver" while 3000 people are dying daily in the united states falls under "Obscene".

    I can understand how you must feel, frustrated most likely, about having your name changed for TOS violation while others are getting away with it, but that doesn't change the fact that you violated the TOS, and the fact that others are getting away with it is moot when it comes to your situation.

    I for one, found your ship name that was changed to be in poor taste and slightly beyond the pale.

    Good on Arc.

    John A. MacDonald was the first prime minister of canada.

    I wonder when I have to rename that Toon too, as her name is "Erika Ishii" (some minor internet celeb) but "Ishii Unit" or "Ishii Detachment" was sometimes used as name for the infamous "Unit 731"...

    Mine are random. I have the Vengeance Class USS Meat Mountain which is named for a tasty sandwich from Arby's.

    There are the Princesses: Princess Buttercup, Tomato Princess, Atlantic Princess, and Pacific Princess.
    The Thunders: Thunderchild, Thunderstorm, Thunderclap, Thunderball, and Thunderthighs.
    The Angels: Angel of Dance, Angel of Love, Angel of Screams, and Angel of Death.
    And yes, the classic ship names: Yorktown, Columbia, Camden, Ranger, Nimitz, and Happy Bunny.

    I'm kind of all over the place. But nothing's really "funny." I'm old and boring.

    I decided to name one of my Klingon ships after the "infamous" Admiral Clancy quote from Star Trek: Picard...but I spent an afternoon figuring out a Klingon translation for it. Either my translation work is terrible or I've evaded the censor cops for months. Cool

    Otherwise my Tac main's ships are normally named after melee weapons and my Sci main's ships are usually references to magic, Harry Potter, etc.
