Wow Batch 8 will be the Maiden Voyage..Saber here I come..holy mackeral I need to order 16340's
Arrrrrr
should I go with IMR's or ICR's

Yarrr, but we need to find a name other than Sabre, thats already taken in the mod community.

Maybe we should rename the Wench, Destroyer and mark-8 now when they are all being designed/redesigned before the new thread starts so the new people are less confused. Eh?

My suggestion is this:
You could name them after either ship types such as...
Man-O-War
Schooner
Galley
Galliot

OR....

You could name them after historical Pirate Ships such as...

The Adventure (BlackBeard)
Adventure Galley (Captain Kidd)
The Bravo (Captain John Power)
The Desire (Capt' Thomas Cavendish)
The Fortune (Batholomew Roberts)

Theres a ton of ship names / info at this site: Pirate Ships

I’m in the same dry-dock as you on both counts. I have some 16340s that are “long in the tooth” but my wife and I use them in our Sabre mods. So I guess that means I will have to stock up. The one nice thing about using 16340s in the Mark-8 is that I already have a charger for them. Right now I have TrustFire and UltraFire, but think I will switch to either the AW IMR 16340 or AW icr 123 16340 protected battery. I would also love any feedback or preference pertaining to this.

BTW: I’m glad Cappy is changing the name of the Mark-8 Sabre because there will be less confusion in my house when asking to pass the Sabre!

Could be the binnacle or bittacle. Or Corsair. Rapscallion. I love naming things. I'll stop now - Cappy's job!

Since others are suggesting... did I mention I love naming things? I'll do some research and find some more if you like Cappy.

Binnacle is cool cause it's where the compass is kept. There's also Privateer and Swashbuckler.

Goonie? :D

One Eyed Willie's ship was The Inferno... just sayin'!

If ... I stick to the 3 types of mods previously mentioned, it would be nice to have 3 names from the same name family so to speak, such as Destroyer, Marauder, Annihilator, etc ... and totally drop the Mark-# designation which I would just use here in the shop to keep track of such things.

I think that these names make the mods feel more personal, like people, almost. Don't a lot of us give a name to our mods? This makes them seem more alive, being named after real shipmates.

I really liked "Wench". It sounded like it was calling to me. I do like "Swashbuckler", too. Perhaps names like "1st Mate", "Quarter master", "Commander", "Pirateer", "Gunner, etc...
