I only remember my most liked mechs, but here they are:

Catapult K2 - Rhea
Jaggermech JM6-S - Fish
Dragon 1C - Draco (after the dragon in the movie Dragonheart)
SPider 5D - Bug

I love naming mechs, though.. It gives them personality

My raven is named Rustscrapper, just felt appropriate for the mech teehee.

On the other hand I named my 3 dragons after 3 Dragons from Magic The Gathering,
Drg- 1N Jugan(green Camo)
Drg- 1C Ryusei(Red Camo)
Drg- 5N Keiga ( Blue camo)
I wonder if anyone else knows them :3

I only named a few of my mechs over the months -- typically the ones that I used more regularly and/or had the most success with. They are:

CPLT-C4 - ***** (lots of red and black, and back in the days of OP missiles)
CPLT-K2 - *****'s Little Helper
AS7-D-DC - God
CTF-IM - The Gambler (double-firing 3 UAC5s all at once almost always leaves someone dead; it's usually me if they all jam at once...)


Edit: LOL -- it's censoring my Catapult names. OK, so the name LOOKS a lot like "Santa", but I assure you that the name is MUCH hotter than that...

[Cubivorre]

Don't see the point in naming them. I can't decal out the name on my mech, other players can't see it, I can't see it(unless I look at a very very tiny nametag down below, and I honestly only feel attachment to one of my mechs. Which I think I would call by it's designation before naming it anyway. :/

I'm no fun..

Naturally I spend a lot of time naming things in general. A name has power, it is the summary of all the characteristics of the object that bears it's name. Some are humorous, others carry deep meaning. You may notice that some of my mechs are also named after chess pieces. Naturally, I hope and expect to never name a mech Queen. But it's likely the battletech equivalent of a Queen is the Dire Wolf. All of my mechs have a meaningful name. And each mech along with it's name bears a story. If anyone is interested, I'm willing to tell them. just point to one specific in my post...
