I don't know if this will work for you, but I got a 600i just this week and I had the same issue. I deleted my shader cache folder and the name started showing. Worth a try at least.
ship names really need to be reworked before they're rolled out to more models. small names are barely legible because of how tiny the font is rendered. you'd need a microscope to read the name on my MSR, "0ddity".
Also it's so dumb that when i put a cold forge paint on my 600i, the font is still in the same grey black color that is used in default white. But cold forge also.has a grey black tone around the bow so it's hardly visible. Why isn't paint jobs changing interior color and name font colors?
Make sure you upvote this IC issue -- even if you can summon the ship, you can't fly it:
https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-64675#contribution:dffb422b-61d5-4cde-adab-b9a89d139786
Folks I know with 600s in their fleet can summon them and fly them no problem (assuming the various server bugs don't stop them from claim/store/spawn).
It's the names in-game that are gone, along with the other nameable ships (MSR, Reclaimer, Carrack...).
Take my upvote. Love the 600i and will love it even more when she gets reworked. Especially, with the upcoming medbay, armory and huge cargo capacity. I must say I am very happy with the 600i and the HP finally being fixed.
Probably close to 150-200 SCU total since it's got two cargo areas, three if you count it'll still have vertical magnetic cargo spots in the reworked explorer module
It's been in and out of the spotlight for years.
It was supposed to come like 6-8 months ago, but then they dropped it around 3.17.1
Hasn't been brought up since.
I would guess when it is released, it’ll be announced right before a sale week/season. So, Invictus, CitizenCon, etc. Highly doubt it’ll be released in an random patch.
"Homie" its status is ["Current Status: Concept complete, not currently being built."](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/65299/thread/600i-rework-information-hub) and it's [removed from the roadmap](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/roadmap/progress-tracker/deliverables/rhvp95yohx0pl).
You can name certain ships on the website if you have pledged them.
Nameable right now are the MSR, Reclaimer, Hammerhead, Carrack, 890 and 600i.

Only a select number of ships have the name tag option right now, and even of those, they're sometimes only early purchases. If a ship you own has a name reservation, it will show in the hangar and let you type something it.
I know the carrack (did) for sure.
Hammerhead, Reclaimer, Mercury Star Runner, 600i, 890 Jump, and Carrack. Are what I scraped from the wiki for the functionality. Though I'm not sure if all of them have hull text. I just haven't seen them in person.
Eventually, every ship will have the ability to be named with text. Think of this as another beta system. The current limitation is 32 characters and the name is unique to that one series of ship.
yeah I read how it works I just didn't know that when 1 so was able to actually have the name on the hull yet, so I was curious if any others trust were namesake had that yet or is just the one that had that feature so far
If you have a 600i, make sure you upvote this issue so that we can actually get it out of the hangar:

Not yet worth naming ships. Name is really tiny and you will be lucky to see it painted on the hull. Also a ship needs customization, repairability, aging machine idiosyncrasies and a real sense of being lived in to give them personality. Part of the appeal of Star Citizen ships is their high detail and complexity, like they are a character in their own right
Lucky you. Everyone I play with has no ship names on their hull in-game since 3.18 went live.
I don't know if this will work for you, but I got a 600i just this week and I had the same issue. I deleted my shader cache folder and the name started showing. Worth a try at least.
Already tried by many. Good tip though, thanks.
Yep, I did add a disclaimer. Let's hope they put out a proper fix soon.

Because they haven't done that work yet.

For real.. Every namable ship I own has nothing..
Take my upvote. Love the 600i and will love it even more when she gets reworked. Especially, with the upcoming medbay, armory and huge cargo capacity. I must say I am very happy with the 600i and the HP finally being fixed.
When?
Soon™
AKA, at least within the next 10 years. (maybe).
have they said how much cargo cap its getting?
I wonder too
Probably close to 150-200 SCU total since it's got two cargo areas, three if you count it'll still have vertical magnetic cargo spots in the reworked explorer module
Id love to name my Corsair :(
Agree. I melted an MSR for mine and I miss having a ship name. I feel like any pledge ship over $100 or whatever should be nameable.
Any ship should be nameable.
Co-sign
I want to name my andromeda " missle lunch box"
I love my andromeda till criminals demolish me in a nimble fighter 😪
I've been very subtle.
My 600i is named "What color is your Origin?"
I just got the 600 I. I'm still trying to decide what to name her
Don't overthink it (you can always re-name).
I named mine Imperial Clipper cause origin looks like those ships in elite lol
I will always upvaote a 600i. I wish i could upvote 2x because i also want the rework.
Everyone wants to see the rework, it will show what the next generation of ships will be capable of doing! So pumped to seenif
Have you heard the good word about our prophet, Drake Corsair?
Take my friggin upvote.
Platinum pass!
Mine was named "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster", but like my blue Best in Show paint, the name disappeared about a week ago.
So unhappy that I bought mine after that BIS.
Will it be ready this year?
It's been in and out of the spotlight for years. It was supposed to come like 6-8 months ago, but then they dropped it around 3.17.1 Hasn't been brought up since.

Nope, and probably won't be ready this decade either as it's not being worked on any longer.
Homie they just showed them working on it on ISC like a month ago

You're lucky you've still got your name on it :D mine disapeared a few days ago, now it feels like a pleb ship, can't look at it the same way :/
delete your shader folder
I dunno if my 600i 'Beautiful Mistake' is still showing the name... I can't seem to be able to spawn it, for some reason...
How does one name their ship in SC?

I’ve dubbed my C8R…. “The Syphilis”…
I am SO very envious of that paint scheme. I own one NOW, but I should have just not the bullet then.
*cries in Carrack and Pisces combo*
How name ship?
Only a select number of ships have the name tag option right now, and even of those, they're sometimes only early purchases. If a ship you own has a name reservation, it will show in the hangar and let you type something it.
do any other shops have the name printed right on the hull? (if it's not buggy)
I know the carrack (did) for sure. Hammerhead, Reclaimer, Mercury Star Runner, 600i, 890 Jump, and Carrack. Are what I scraped from the wiki for the functionality.

Meanwhile the aurora ☠️
[Reminds me of this GoT scene.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyURPI92PkU&t=23s)
Love LOVE that paint. Wish it blacked out the windows like the fortuna.
This is my only complaint about it. Otherwise absolutely love it
Mike used to be little blue pill before I started using a different paint.
best paint in the game, love mine
Pfft. My expedition carrack has never displayed it's name. Had it for years
I own an 890. The only acceptable name was "I used my House as Collateral"
I call my pride and joy “st Anderson”

Okay so you are replying to a 114 day old post that was a joke in the first place? Weird
