A new Culture ship name: "I got your gravitas right here!"

I play EVE Online and my character's ship names are all (almost) Culture ship names. There are missile launchers that use festival charges, snowballs, and fireworks of various colors. My festival ship is one of the Gravits series names, but at the moment I forget which. I'll edit when I'm online in EVE.

I think, now that I've had a moment or two, that it is named "A Severe Lack Of Gravitas".

Oh, finally remembered to look. "Zero Gravitas" is my festival ship. There's a ship called a Drake, which is constructed to look like three sides of a hexagon, so plates meeting at angles. That one is called "Only Slightly Bent."

I love Culture ship names. And am really sad Iain M. Banks is no longer with the living. :/
