Updated Systemnames file
This file contains 350 star names. I got these from the offical lists for stars. I left in the 200 names that came with the game . Since only about 10 appear to not to be real names of stars.
The game will randomly use up to 255 of these. So each game you should see a wide varation of names.
Corrected Wolf 359 (made typo)

Re: Updated Systemnames file
Cool stuff! Once, long long ago, in an America far far away, there was a boardgame by a company called SPI, and the name of this game was Starforce Alpha Centauri. One of the many beauties of this game was the way it laid out our arm of the galaxy in beautifully realistic detail, with all their proper names. And although the paper map was necessarily 2D (no ****, Possum), there were +/- coordinates assigned, to show relative positions "above" and "below" the "plane", thus giving you a good idea of the actual 3D positions of the star systems.

Re: Updated Systemnames file
Starforce Alpha Centauri...ah, the memories. I enjoyed that so much that I eventually bought the Trilogy pack with the two sequels, Starsoldier and Outreach.
Another old game with an accurate star map was Traveller 2100AD, IIRC. I seriously considered buying that just for the map, but never actually bought it.
