Ship Names

Ship Names

I swear i saw that the ships had names, and was wandering if its going to be possible to rename individual ships? and if the ships do have names how many different name options are there? rather not end up with 20 ships all called "bob" (example)
thanks.

And, for good measure, Guan Yu.

You, kind sir, are advised to check out and help with the Battlefleet Gothic mod for sins.

You forgot the Divine Right! How could you!

I have checked it out...and i have concluded that nothing i can do will help. i am no good at modding, any story or design aspects that i know are already implemented, and the only real thing i can do is provide photos of my ships, so that prezo has something to model off of.

Personally my favourites

"Ishkur"
"Queztalcoatl"
"Xipe Totec"
"Ea" (the Deity not the company)
"Gae Bulg"

largely because they all make sense

as an aside i wouldnt want to serve on any ship called the Naglfar, because i dont care if it can carry me to the battlefield of ragnarok its made of fingernails and toenails

I will be claiming the title of "Solar Bean" and "UberNerd". Past that, I won't be paying much attention.

Is there a way to pull down names from a text file or other pre-made list so that each time a ship is produced, you don't have to individually type the ship's new name out? This was a feature I'd have liked to have had in Galciv2.

I lay claim to the name OMGWTFBBQ!?!?! (yes, with that exact punctuation. I don't care about similar names as long as they don't have the same exact punctuation.) It shall be my flagship. :HOT:

When I was testing Dawn of Victory's Soviet ships, nearly all of them ended up with Russian names. I have a feeling the game is reading my mind.

I still like the ship names from the Iain M Banks "Culture" novels best. So if there's room it's:

No More Mr Nice Guy
It’s Character Forming
Attitude Adjuster
All Through With This Niceness And Negotiation Stuff
Hand Me The Gun And Ask Me Again
Fine Till You Came Along
I Blame The Parents
Lapsed Pacifist
Reformed Nice Guy
Now Look What You’ve Made Me Do

and for the flagship: Frank Exchange Of Views
