How about the United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol ship Geoschmo 0001?

Geoschmo,
Done,
Anybody know what the max length of a name is or how many spaces you can use?

I think it's 255, but anything after about 20 or so and the other players can't see the rest of the name. Kind of frustrating actually. I played against a guy once who liked to do that. All his ships names had like 40 letters, and all but the Last 5 were the same, so I couldn't tell what kind of a ship it was.

"so I couldn't tell what kind of a ship it was."
So, it is a good way to disguise your ship types?
Nice trick.

Yes, but be careful who you use that against. There are those that would consider that a bit unsporting.

Good point geoschmo,
Besides, I there are enough other "psy warfare" methods to use.
I'll try to keep the ship names under 20.
