Giving Ships Names

from Sins Forums

I was just wondering if there was a way to give frigates and cruisers names justv like the capital ship.

The oly thing that I can think of doing is to go into the player entity file and on the 8th line where you read capitalShipNameType "CapitalShipPsi" you add a line right before it or right after it to something like' frigateShipNameType "CapitalShipPsi"  I have not tried this yet, I just wanted to get every ones opinion and see if you all think that tis if doable or not.

If I recall correctly, the allocation of capitalship names is hardcoded. In the player.entity files is a line almost at the top that says what kind of capitalship names to use for that player, and the game automatically gives the names in that category to the capital ships the player builds. So the only way to give frigates & cruisers names is to all classify them as capital ships, but that brings lots of problems with it.
