Someone should get a video up when the game releases showing the Failboat doing a suicide sail right into a fleet of enemy ships. No firing at the enemy, no attempt to do anything but meet demise.

Re: What are you going to name your ships?
No it doesn't. It means trousers/leggings/bottoms/pants/other phrases used.Originally Posted by Greyblades
Or, pantsless referring to being drunk, under the assumption they remove their pants when so.

Ravished By The Sheer Implausibility Of That Last Statement
Possibly just a long series of Hand of God
I wonder about the names whether we get a default name based on number of units of that type raised/raised in that region?
maybe those guys should be doing something more useful...

HMS 'Ni!' Enemies will roll over and die at the sight of it, provided there's no ship named 'It' on their side.
Obviously, my French fleet willl be stuffed with ships like 'Yourr Mother Was a Hamster' and 'Your Father Smelled of Elderberries' or 'I Fart in Your General Direction'. I do so much love being lame.

Re: What are you going to name your ships?
Ships should be named after women and loved accordingly.
Re: What are you going to name your ships?
Same in the United Kingdom, at least in North-West England. We call them underpants/boxers/y-fronts.
Problem with that ship, does it start off sinking, or just barely staying afloat?

How dare you! It has been nothing but tightly regulated! Its Great Captain had kept a watchful eye upon the books, no matter that it was covered with an eye patch on account of him being half blind...
HMS Accountabilty Is NOT In The Contract, will be a first rater, having the ability to fend off all comers.
I am really looking foreward to an HMS Bugger.

What about Banksian names such as "Resistance Is Character-Forming" or "Experiencing A Significant Gravitas Shortfall"?
