Custom Fleet Names?

[Wenin]

It seemed when I started playing a mod (forget which) the fleet names came in a different order than the standard game. I've searched all the files, but can't find where this can be customized.

Was I just imagining the difference?

There is no mod capacity for altering fleet name behavior.

I don't believe that the name of a specific fleet actually has any bearing on how it's used or what it's purpose may be.

[Wenin]

Didn't think it did.

I just hate when it starts getting into the" Alpha Alpha Beta Fleet" names. Be cool to have more than the limited greek alphabet. I generally rename them to "Attack Fleet 1" and such. =)

I wonder, is there a .txt file somewhere that the fleet names are defaulting from ? And if so, can it be changed ?

Doesn't matter unless you're lazy....

When you click the "Create Fleet" button, the text is even already highlighted for you.... just friggin type something...

I always give my fleets names to suit their purpose anyway, since the enemy can't see fleet names it makes it easier to keep track of them and know who's going where for what.

I think the fleet names are stored somewhere in your Empire file. Whenever I have saved my empire and used it again the fleet names start out where they were before the save. After a while they wrap and you have multiple spaces between the fleet letters.

I try not to use my keyboard much when playing and so almost always keep what names I am given. What I wouldn't give for an honest "Alpha Fleet" and not an "Alpha space space space space space Epsilon Gamma Fleet".

LOL

Now that you mention it, I recall seeing those spaces.

That's a definite wishlist item for se5: Specify a file from the designname folder (or whatever the equivalent in se5 will be) for fleets as well as one for ships.
