SO I read here: http://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/344670 that we could program our own ship names, so now I've got a question for you guys.  What theme do you use to name your ships?  I think there were 39 slots, so I need some more ideas!  I like:

Battles of the American Revolution(TEC): Saratoga, Valley Forge, Ticonderoga, Yorktown, Lexington, etc, etc.

Mythological Monsters: Minotaur, Chimera, Cerberus, Hydra, Pegasus, etc, etc.

Final Fantasy Summons: Odin, Shiva, Bahamut, Hades, Alexander, etc, etc.

Positive Emotions (Advent only, it just seems so creepy) Rapture, Euphoria, Exuberance, Felicity, Beatitude, etc, etc.

British Navel Vessels, that start with "I": Invincible, Illustrious, Implacable, Indomitable, Indefatigable, etc, etc.

Nasty sounding names that start with "V" (Vasari) Viviparous, Vicious, Vindicator, Velocitor, Vaporizer, etc, etc.

Ancient Roman Titles: Imperator, Praetor, Tetrarch, Consular, Vicarius, etc, etc.

So, what do you guys use?  Does anyone actually have 40 names?

Sorry if this sounds blut, but we had a post on pretty much same topic in the last few days. Which is odd, since few people really seem to talk about it.

That would be the hard way, unless you want a name that is too long for you to type in game. Also, you are not editting the base game files when you do this right? Make sure you make it a mod. And either way, every time there is a patch you'll have to re-edit the file again.

I think he's just talking about the re-name ship/planet button in-game, right?  Renaming the ships would be more difficult for a mod, since it would just say [custom name here] Class Battleship or something.  Unless you were re-doing the randome name list I suppose.....
