![]() ![]() Look at Volkswagen: most of their models are named after trade winds, but in German. To start off with, you must figure out what your mining company (or, for the purposes of sci-fi-ness, your mining corporation) wants to be known for. Each group will likely have their own rules for labelling.īased on the comments on your question, I take it you're looking more for model names than individual ship names. Keep in mind there may be a disconnect between who designs and manufactures a ship, who uses it, and any authoritative body that's responsible for registration. Fast-Moving Consumer-Goods follow these principals as well. Look for printed or stamped numbers on the bottom of the cans. If you want an example of serial numbers, go into the kitchen, collect all your canned and bottled food. Sounds like overkill, but it's future proof, which is a strong deciding factor for accountability. Three letters gives you 17,576 unique combinations. The place of manufacture is probably coded into two/three letters and numbers. Part Type: Identify what type of object this is (silly me forgot the most important part). Sequence Number: the position of the object within the batch. Time of Manufacture: The point in time the ship rolls(read:floats) off the production line. This might be irrelevant for ships as they are large objects. If someone suspects a manufacturing fault, being able to trace it to a production line is a great way to filter out irrelevant ships.īatch Number: things are often built is batches. Production Line: factories never build one thing at a time. ![]() Place of manufacture: uniquely name the planet+shipyard this thing came from. Serial numbers should have the following information squashed down into it: Part serial numbers need to identify decommissioned/lost/destroyed parts as well as parts currently in circulation. You need to gauge the total number of parts, and round up. The rules for these are similar to registration plates on cars. Tracking where the part has been installed previously is also a common thing. Serial numbers are to track the part back to the precise place and time it was manufactured. Not whole objects, but I'll go out on a limb and assume the logic transfers neatly. Past employment dealt with serial numbers for parts. I know that they're Google-able, but I kludged together my own rules by substituting extra letters and numbers.
