Oleg caught file name errors on two of the ships ["pulps" instead of "pulp"], so I fixed that and here's the corrected zip.
1055021044.zip
I started working on the "Speech" file, but there are so many lines, and I wasn't sure how I wanted to go with it, so I gave up after changing all occurences of "senates" or "councils" or "regents" or whatever to "Constituent Assembly," which is what I decided to call the Duke's council. If I have time, I'll do some more work on the speech file before we leave the country.
I also intended to make a design name file, but, again, I'm not sure how I want to handle it. I thought of using the names of all the pulp magazines I could find, but that would only amount to a few dozen, and many of them wouldn't be SF pulps, but, instead, magazines like "Railroad Stories," "Six-Gun Western," "Film Fun," and "Love Stories."
I may still do this, and throw in the name of some of the pulp SF authors and characters from some of the stories. If, and when, I do, I'll post it here. Maybe I can do some work on it tonight. At any rate, for now, I've set the "emp" files to use "ravager.txt.," which, actually, has some names that sound like the kind of names you might find for a spaceship un a pulp story.
