Official Ship Name Prefix for Order Vessels - Suggestions

In another thread I brought up the thought of having an Offical ship prefix for ships running under The Order of Mobius' banner. This thread is to get suggestions on what the prefix could be with a poll to be run at a later date (say one week from now?) to get an idea on how The Order's populace feels.

So far we have:

OSS - Order StarShip (or SpaceShip)
OMS - Order of Mobius Ship (or Spaceship/Starship)
HMS - Honourable Mobius Service
M*V or M*S - Mobius Trade/Combat/Exploration Vessel/Ship

Post with any other suggestions :)

This is only for some fun, it certainly won't be a requirement! Just if anyone wanted to their support to your favourite player faction :D

You could have a group of designations as someone suggested. M*V or M*S

like:

Mobius Trade Vessel : MTV
Mobius Combat Ship: MCS

Mobius Exploration Vessel : MEV

I was thinking of staying away from multiple prefixes, mainly as having one saves confusion, should I be MTV when I also explore in it, type of thing. But that is just my thought on it :D Other thoughts may vary :lol:

As a veteran of the Royal Navy, I do like HMS :)

As much as I like to be a little patriotic, as HMS (His/Her Majesty's Ship for those who don't know :D) is used IRL by the British Navy it seems inappropriate given the player base is global :) Just my opinion. Same with RMS (Royal Mail Ship). Also as many might know the prefix from its RL use it doesn't give the faction credit, in my humble opinion of course :)

I'll leave this thread until the end of the week and then collate the suggestions into a poll :D

I was being a little facetious I admit since RMS is most widely known outside of Britain for the Titanic :p
