Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Automatic name generator for individual ships!
Instead of "Paladin 0001", "Paladin 0002", "Paladin 0003", etc. for your Paladin-class ships, you could have automatically generated names from name fragments (i.e. you combine "USS ", "Ran", and "dall" to get "USS Randall") much as character names are generated in Angband, though perhaps with some more sophistication: you could have more or fewer than three name fragments per name, and name fragment choices could be determined by the role you assign to the ship (e.g. you could designate all attack ships and scout ships to be "USS Whatever" and all transports to be "UPS Whatever" )
Would help with role playing in larger games when it's not possible to name every ship manually, and I don't think it would be too hard to implement
