Custom Fleet Names?
 

It seemed when I started playing a mod (forget which) the fleet names came in a different order than the standard game. I've searched all the files, but can't find where this can be customized.

Was I just imagining the difference?

Re: Custom Fleet Names?
 

There is no mod capacity for altering fleet name behavior.

Re: Custom Fleet Names?
 

I don't believe that the name of a specific fleet actually has any bearing on how it's used or what it's purpose may be.

Re: Custom Fleet Names?
 

Didn't think it did.

I just hate when it starts getting into the" Alpha Alpha Beta Fleet" names. Be cool to have more than the limited greek alphabet. I generally rename them to "Attack Fleet 1" and such. =)

I wonder, is there a .txt file somewhere that the fleet names are defaulting from ? And if so, can it be changed ?

Re: Custom Fleet Names?
 

Doesn't matter unless you're lazy....

When you click the "Create Fleet" button, the text is even already highlighted for you.... just friggin type something...

I always give my fleets names to suit their purpose anyway, since the enemy can't see fleet names it makes it easier to keep track of them and know who's going where for what.

BK, that was the original question I started the thread with. =)

Why did you feel the need to get hostile?

Re: Custom Fleet Names?
 

I doubt that was his intent, it did not seem hostile to me. Probably just another case of plain text not conveying tone of voice.

That's what I do. I seldom ever use the " Alpha, Beta, Gamma... titles ( <font color="blue"> Never was into the whole Fratboy thing </font> http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif ).

Generally I assign Fleet names either by task or by region.
