Default An Idea....

For the Rename command, you just have a box to type in the new name. I think it would be cool if you had a drop-down list, similar to the design name list under ship designs. The list could just use the Designname.txt, or it could use a new one like Newname.txt (or whatever).

So, What do you think?

Is that all the votes I'm gonna get? I was hoping that this would be more popular than that...

I think the poll is too lopsided. I think it's a good idea, but not as good as lots of suggested changes that would improve gameplay.

Would be a cool idea IF..... and a big IF you could tell what the ships stats were. I know you can tell in game how much tonnage a certain class has destroyed. What would be cool I think is to be able to see this for an individual ship. In this case if I had a ship that was doing well I would give it a cool name and then watch it advance. The way it is now I never bother to name my ships because it seems so pointless.

"I know you can tell in game how much tonnage a certain class has destroyed."

This is..ah.. somewhat buggy. It will occasionally show *simulator* kills in tha tonnage.

Hehe. did not know about that. I have viewed that but it always seemed somewhat pointless to me since I am always upgrading my ships. I would love to see the stats work by individual ship.
