Ship names needed

"Ditch Delve and the Render Shuffle" is strangely interesting. It sounds like the title of a children's book... and a good one at that.

'Doped Miner' -- the mining rig you DON'T want to hire. Unless he means he's doped up on steroids and works fast..still...steer clear of that guy just to be sure

Should I assume that we've all read I.M. Banks, inventor of the amusing/clever ship name concept (to my knowledge)?

Afraid not. I googled the name and ended up with a lengthy list of financial institutions worldwide. Sci-Fi writer?

SF writer indeed: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iain_M_Banks . I'm a big fan. And his ship names do tend to be unique: www.futurehi.net/phlebas/text/ships.html

Ian Banks has the BEST ship names ever. They are almost distracting they're so clever. I wish there was a way we could stick a GSV into the game (well, the AMP or a biobomber might be candidates). Read 'Excession' or 'Consider Phlebas'. Don't pause or hesitate, just go and read them right now. Consider it required reading. You'll thank me later.
