What's in a Name?

What's in a Name? is the 49th episode of Assertive Acquisitions. Today's goals are adding turrets to the carrier and give it a name (and to contain spiders and plushies in a cell in the medbay). 
They get lost in Splitsie's passages on the way to Capac's personal room, where he shows off the spookyThey made a cut and rebooted the game to load a picture of SHODAN from the game system shock. server room he built. TFE jumps into the asteroid belt with the Marlin to restock on Magnesium and Silver etc. 
They try to come up with a cool name for the carrier: They can't simply translate Assertive Acquisitions into Latin, because it already is Latin. Imperator is too grandiose even for something so big that Capac is lucky that its other end is still within his draw distance. Other suggestions include Kleptomaniac and the Illustrious Visitor. 
While Splitsie builds self-repairing turrets on the carrier's outside, Capac salvages thrusters from wrecks and trades the rest for money. When Capac bumps into the half-finished carrier, it starts drifting, because TFE's Marlin is not docked and it had been the main means of stabilising the carrier. 
Splitsie (home alone) hears an unexplained noise like someone dropping components. 
While Splitsie assists TFE with Silver mining, Capac adds a temporary thruster in a random spot to stop the carrier's drifting. After his return, Splitsie has different plans for thruster placement and partially dismantles Capac's engineering section. 
They discuss the order of battle: Splitsie's Saffron's role is the sniper, the Schnozz is the boarding ship, and now they need to build a fighter that can deal with drones. TFE's worry about Splitsie complimenting Capac causing a riot in the comment section prompts Capac to become defensive, but he cannot give one example where he complimented anyone ever. 
They test the new thrusters by jumping the whole carrier to an asteroid field for mining. TFE's creative fighter under construction looks like a flying saucer standing on its edge so it can present a narrow profile. Capac and Splitsie express polite skepticism. 
Splitsie surprises Capac with a little shuttle bus in the hallway. Capac taunts Splitsie to drive it at full speed through the airlock which results in it drifting into TFE's construction site; the bus cockpit is destroyed and the passengers TFE and Capac drift in space until Splitsie catches them with a green tug boat. 
==Quotes==
Capac: Aaah! A spider! Run! - Splitsie: Seriously? You call yourself an Australian... Pff. - Capac: Yes! I'm still alive because I run away when I see a spider! - Splitsie: Okay, fair play. This only got 6 legs though. - Capac: That means it's hiding two of them to trick us. 
Splitsie: We will have some big booms shooting at things that maybe they shouldn't, if I mess things up. - TFE: When. - Splitsie: Wow. It's not wrong, but... wow. 
Splitsie: (builds a Medical Room upside down and sideways.) - Capac: If it's Splitsie doing it and it's intentional, then I don't like it. In any other case, I like it. 
Capac: There were a lot of Tie-Fighters, back in the day. And then J.J. Abrams was just like, "Why don't we just hit invert in Photoshop? That's enough to make a new Tie-Fighter." 
Splitsie: Hah! I'm a genius! - Capac: Doubt. - Splitsie: I have perfectly aligned the gravity field to where it should be with my placement of the first two grav gens. - TFE: Isn't that just luck? - Splitsie: No. Genius. Shutup. :(
Splitsie: So? What do you think of my buggy? - Capac: Needs more driver training. Do you have a license to operate this machinery? - Splitsie: I just made this machinery. It's not even licensed to exist!
==Trivia==
Due to technical issues, TFE's perspective was not able to be shown in this episode."I definitely didn't accidentally select the wrong profile in OBS and recorded my POV so zoomed in it was unusable for this episode :p" — TheFinalEvent97 in a YouTube comment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYg2JPvvE18&lc=UgwHQd4Y1qsf2cdBDxl4AaABAg
This episode's title was teased a few hours before its release in a screenshot posted by Splitsie on the Zebra Monkeys Discord. The screenshot showed it scheduled on his YouTube Studio page, along with TFE's Pride, Splitsie's Frustration, and an episode of The Collector that had part of its name cut off.https://discord.com/channels/257056038665191436/257056038665191436/1138709655418327050
