Is the first ship required to be named the "Enterprise"?

It can be if there's enough support behind that, but actually there's a pretty cool feature in the game that I didn't get to in the design discussion for autonaming ships. They can be named individually whatever we feel like(I'm thinking if any sign-up characters are the first CO they can pick the name) but can also be assigned a 'name type' which the game will pick an auto-name from. There's a ton of types available, somewhere in the vicinity of 120-150 of them, anywhere from alphabetical to thematic stuff like birds, mountains, etc. to various real-life water navies to warhammer 40k stuff. Often scout classes will be named after the 'famous explorers' type, etc.

Hey, it takes skill, after a fashion, to be this bad. Not everyone can do it. Ok, maybe everyone could, but not many do.
