Re: Me again viz: system names.
I've compiled a list of almost 600 system names (including some from SEIV) and another of about 500 or so of just actual star names.
I can post this if it is of interest.

Re: Me again viz: system names.
you can definately have long names.
My personal list includes In Your Face and several others. I'll give it a test tonight.

Re: Me again viz: system names.
Gryphin,

Re: Me again viz: system names.
id be interested in the list of real star names. i hate to be a nit, but are they all star names or they simply names of visible objects (including nebulae, galaxies, and clusters)?
it might be a bit odd having systems named after galaxies or globular superclusters or something, and i seem to remember that most visible objects in the night sky are galaxies. of course, its still better than completely fictional names.

Re: Me again viz: system names.
once again I get to plug. On the gold cd under eyecandy you will find a system file that has all the real star names in it.

I just used star names choosing Arabic, Latin or Proper names without duplicating them (which-ever struck my fancy). I've also added some ancient Egyptian names (gods, etc)
Eye Candy has a lot of secondary stars with numbers and/or alphabetical designators (alpha orionis, B-33-A, etc.) which I don't have in mine. But it's a good list just the same.
