Lack of Star Names

[MasterChiToes]

Perhaps each empire/species should have its own naming convention for the stars... and maybe a system should get its name from the first empire to explore it.

As far as human centric names, I find constellation names tend to sound better than most star names. What I don't like with stock lists, is they tend to have entries that are clearly inserted for giggles, like: Alba, Musume, Mutara, Torchwood, etc.

I don't get it. Why are these funny?

Not funny "haha"... but they are pop culture refs that are rather "clever-substitute" (an actress, a j-pop group, a Trek ref, and a Doctor Who ref.)

What would really be clever is to let human beings rename the star systems.

A little edit box.

Like in that other space game, but better. So you can spend some time on the galactic view renaming stuff.

Like "Bernard Nebula" or "Black Hole", or "Phong Home System".

I'm sure some programmer can figure out how to make that happen with multiplayer. I can, can you?

Were you the one that found this bug ?

Version 1.08:
[...]
17. Fixed - The SystemsNames.txt file would crash the game if it had over 16,380 names in it.

Thanks, Fyron. This is just what I was looking for.
