Oh boy, we had a very long topic on this one. Its a ship prefix like U.S.S. or H.M.S., but as to what it actually stands for we don't know (nor could the community agree on what sounded best).

Edit: Found the old topic. My bet is on Trader Defense Navy, but you can see the others there as well, in addition to a Dev refusing to tell us the secret. :P

Always imagined it was something like "Trader Defence Navy".

Either way, when renaming my Cap ships, I drop any form of lettered prefix.

Trader Defense Network or Navy....

It's been speculated on before, but there's no real confirmation.

The most commonly suggested one is "Trader Defense Network"

There's a point when you get mildly annoyed at the whole thing.

I didn't care about the TDN fiasco.

Not your individual post.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, if it existed...

However the 'S' at the end of both of those stands for "Ship".
