Ahhhhhh its @aclaydon
Heh, kind of obvious but you could go with USS Obsidian
I still have not decide on a name yet. Suggestions welcomed.
I still think USS Majestic is the way to go, I am glad the key we got ya worked out for the best.
I think the Galors(and the Vor'cha Refits) are the very best of the cruisers in STO. Recently played a PvP one on one against a fellow driving a Galor. I am used to having my own way while driving Fire Blade, my Vor'cha Refit. This guy pretty much schooled me all the way round. I am embarrassed to say I did not offer him a challenge. That Galor was well handled and very impressive. His critique of his own ship was, "It's typical of the Galors I've run across."
Names are powerful totems. The right name contains a magic which affects in a positive way everything about a ship. IMHO, the first impression is usually the correct one. I am pretty certain you had at least one idea cross your mind while you were outfitting the ship or training up the crew. I am also guessing you thought too long about it and talked yourself out it, lol. Because you thought it was silly or arrogant or pretentious or something like that. To borrow a phrase, "Trust your feelings."
I still can't thank you enough. As many times I have tried for the Bug, I did not expect the Galor.
I think I have narrowed it down to two names.
USS Majestic (as suggested by Maj)
USS Pantheon (This based on the book Star Trek Pantheon given to me by my late father. A really good read if you have not read it.)
Well as a lowly Lt I'm still flying round in an old Miranda class. That said, The Aurora is a good ship and has been able to handle almost everything thrown at her thus far (the exceptions being the 8472 battleship - because I didn't know how to fight effectively, the time I accidentally dropped out into a squadron of Romulan Warbirds (2x D'ds plus 6 escorts - took three respawns just to go to warp), and when tangling with the Borg on mass.)

Running from the Borg (I actually survived that engagement!)
However, as a Level 8 I'm hoping to be promoted soon. Any suggestions as to whether I should go cruiser or science?
