'Odysseus' is an excellent name for a ship that has traveled across great lengths of space, fighting its way home. In the old story, the hero Odysseus spent years traveling to his home after the Trojan War, fighting giants, sea monsters, and even a cyclops. The name carries symbolic weight, and it shows us that this ship, The Odysseus is the hero.
I, however, also think we should have the 'option' to change the name of our mothership to whatever we please. As the Captain of a powerful ship and the Admiral of a powerful fleet, having a ship that is unique to you and having a ship that is unique to me is important, in my opinion. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I agree with you on this, renaming the Odysseus would be cool. But then Space Borders would have to make a system in the game that would integrate your new name of the mothership into the game, or he would have to re write the story line narrator to where it would say the mothership. But I like the idea.

I agree although i wont change her name. I already have the best fleet I could ever ask for! and the odysseus as the leader! She got me and all of you guys through the campaign! you guys can change it if you want.

It's a valid request, after all it's the only ship in your fleet you can't rename. Like spaceman155 said, it would have to be renamed throughout the game, but that would take too much time honestly. What I can offer is (for the sake of convenience), allowing you to rename it so it appears in the strategic view with your name. It would be referred to as the Odysseus in dialogs though.

If that is the best that can be done, then I am all for it. I hope it is clear that what I want is not the changing of the mothership's name, but simply the option to change it, like with the smaller ships. What y'all are saying about the diologe is reasonable though.
How about, instead of referring to the ship as the Odysseus in the diologe, it is refered to as 'The flagship, The mothership, Commandship, Supercarrier, etc.' That way, people can leave it with her traditional name, Odysseus, and others can change it if they so please.

I think Mothership is best fitting, since its been called that nore than once. plus the face that homeworld and SOASE call it the mothership most of the time

Right, so that would be a very minor change to the diologe. Simply replace Odysseus with Mothership.

Space Borders, I cannot stress this enough. I do not want to offend you. I don't dislike the name Odysseus for the mother ship at all in any way. I just feel we should have the option to change it IF we feel like it.
