NS to look at ship naming policy

New Sparta is to look again at how it names its spaceships following criticism that some names chosen are a bit... well odd. Recent policy has been for the same first letter to be used for a class hence all Warrior 016A ship names begin with a W and all Mulberry 036As with an M for example. An unnamed member of the NS fleet staff said that there have been so many new ships being added to the fleet over the last few years that it has been difficult to come up with names.

"Hence we choose a first letter and then go through the dictionary!" the source said, though its unknown if she was joking or not.
