Bad Starship Names

Hands up...
Who wants to see that ship on screen just to ROFL?

Raises hand

Edit: And IMO, it must be a drama like SNW, not comedy like LD.

Someone actually did schematics for just such a vessel many years ago:

That's actually not a bad design, the spheres could be detachable and serve as research stations for newly discovered M class planets. The hero ship is usually in orbit for a day or two max, actually exploring a planet would be a longterm mission but not every planet requires a permanent space station. So mobile reserach stations would make a lot of sense, park them in orbit for a few years and then pick them up again.
 
There have certainly been goofier-looking fanmade ships than that...
I wish I could find one from years ago that started me giggling every time I saw it: a Galaxy-type primary hull with something like forty warp nacelles stuck on all over the place.

Sounds like the U.S.S. Megabungadude from the old GEC days, and, yes, it was a send-up of all of the fan designs that went overboard with all of the stuff that they put on their ships.
