Yeah, I always used to rename my star destroyers, but the later you got into the game and the more star destroyers you had the harder it was to name.

I'd always start with the standard names from the canon like the Avenger, Vengence, Dominator, Emperor's fist. In the end Star Destroyer 200 was the cranky pants, fist full of poop and other ridiculous names.

Nothing was better then the very first mission, when you had to roll over and inspect freighters. Just tipping your tie fighters wings and coming in low on a freighter, then hearing the radio call "Unknown vessels sector XXX" and you retargeted and saw a X-Wing screaming at you.

Such a brilliant game.

I loved X-Wing Alliance. There was a mission where you had to fly your freighter past a blockade and get to a space station to evacuate the crew.

I remember popping out of hyperspace and seeing a massive superstar destroyer with the name Executor and muttering that's Vaders ship. And then trying to fly casual but not too casual past the blockade.
