System names
 

Hi all,

We all know about the DNA (Design Names Anthology), but is there one huge file containing system names too? If not, how about starting one?

Re: System names
 

FQM has a bunch of system names (over 40k or something). Just get Standard to save on download times. Lots of them are from a Tolkein-esque random name generator, so not everyone likes them, but they are quite alien. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Many are real star names, or from a few sci-fi universes, so it is not all crazy stuff.

A System Names Anthology would be excellent, though it lacks the charm of the DNA acronym. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Edit: Wow, need to update the thread link on DNA page... And I might as well release a new version of it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

You can send your System Names file to this adres:
kaptein-aso [shift+2] planet [dot] nl

Fyron:
You said something about a new version of the DNA. When is the new version due?
When I finish the SNA, would you be so kind as to post it on your fabulous site?

Edit:
Sorry, Fyron, I didn't see the new post in the DNA thread.

Re: System names
 

Sure, I'll host it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: System names
 

I'll be happy to help out. What name files are we going to start with? I've downloaded the DNA file as a beginning. Are we going to add to that?

Re: System names
 

No, search for any SystemNames.txt in the Data directory. ONLY mail me any PERSONAL versions.
I'll Dl all the SystemNames.txt's from all the mods posted on SpaceEmpires.net.
You can find my e-mail adres in one of the post below, or in my personalia.

Fyron:
Thanks to host it! Greatly appreciated (I hope I said that right, please enlighten me when I did it wrong).
