Perfectly Nerdy - Naming Conventions

by rasgueado

It isn't perfect... but I'm almost totally happy with my starship name and registry number in Star Trek Online. The only thing that makes the number not perfect is the fact that there needs to be a 9 at the beginning... otherwise, it's almost a perfect music reference in both cases of the text name and number name. Title: USS Montgomery Reg #: NCC-936251 I haven't had much of a chance to check...

Title: USS Montgomery 
Reg #: NCC-936251 
 
I haven't had much of a chance to check out a lot of other player created ships yet, but I get the impression that many of them aren't well named. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't come across too many, "USS Creamofsomeyounguy." 
 
The game itself seems alright so far. I haven't been able to delve too deeply into it as actually logging in to play seems to be something of a challenge at the moment. It seems crazy that they aren't able to ensure that everyone that has bought that game can log in and play, but hopefully they'll have that worked out soon. I'm also hoping they won't start counting the free month until they have stabilized that issue. In short... it's pretty neat, and I hope they keep supporting the game going onward.
