Trajan, dont let the side down by insinuating that you are anything less than a gourmand!

Prime rib of beef my arse, I would expect you to be fielding 'Fillet Steak Morroccan with rosemary jus, shallot julienne, served on a bed of jewelled couscous with a thia spiced tzatziki, cracked szechuan peppers and a glass of ice cold Chateau De Routon Chablis" class light cruisers (2nd refit)

I will, unfortunately, have to wait until tomorrow to get the names together for an appropriate list. The job is kicking my Old Dead Roman Emperor arse right about now.

Stay tuned...I will post an appropriate menu...erm..I mean ship name list.

Cheers!
Trajan

GT, where did you get that Adunaic names file? Was it the one I had uploaded a while ago?

Re: Design Names Text File
 

Fyron, it was one I downloaded from the Tolkien Society (of which I am a proud member and which I am proud to announce, now the current Mrs GT has gone to bed, myself and the various male members of my clan are about to go and watch my new 'Lord of the Rings' DVD on my new wide screen B&O TV)

I saw the one you did early on, I thought that is where you had got it from too

Re: Design Names Text File
 

Nah, it was from a random names generator I had found for use with D&D. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

from a random names generator? that must be a good one as the list you had looked pretty mint

Re: Design Names Text File
 

Yep. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Fyron, you havn't got a "Black Speech" or Sindarin/Quenya speech generator as well have you?

Re: Design Names Text File
 

I've recently been working on a "A Bit Crap, Really" names file. The idea is that once you've gotten so ggod at the game that winning against other humans is no longer a challenge, you use the "Crap" names files in order to humiliate them. For example, your enemy's emabarrassment would be compounded if they were defeated by a fleet of "Duct Tape & Superglue" class destroyers, or a "Critical Design Flaw" Baseship.

Other names include
"Could Do Better"
"Worryingly Sticky"
"Significant Safety Issues"

Full list will be posted to my website upn completion...

Handy tip #2164351/c:
Make your ship name lists in Excel, one name per row. This makes it easy to count and sort your ships names. When you've finished making the list, just highlight them all and copy/ paste into notepad.

Love the Culture name file (coz I love the Culture novels) but there are a few "accidental" entries in there. For example I think "From Look to Windward", "Affront ships" and "Zetetic Elench Ships" are actually comments from the website about the list rather than the names of ships. But I haven't read all the books so I can't be sure=-) There are probably a few others like that in there too.
