Ship Names text limits?

For ship names (or planet names, etc...) is there a size limit? I am thinking of playing with individual ship names in a certain game, but want to make sure it's feasible. Can the game handle ship names up to 30 characters?

thanks,

Alarik

Test it and find out. But what name would be 30 characters long?

Heh, I just whipped up a couple thousand klingon names using some Klingon dictionary and Klingon House names Online...some get longish...(but probably mean things like "Goiter of House Reshtarc")

IKS M'mara
IKS Q'mara
