Re: Bigger Galaxies?
There's an add-on (I believe it was on the Gold disc, it's part of EyeCandy) which adds over 400 systemnames, including scifi and real star names, such as Hoth, Romulus and names like "42 Pisces 3" and such.

Re: Bigger Galaxies?
Hoth and Romulus? Wouldn't that be infringing on copyrights? Star Trek and Star Wars might not be happy about that.

Romulus is from Roman mythology, and Hoth can be found in Norse mythology, I believe. I doubt Paramount or Lucasfilm could do much about the use of those names any more than they could prevent you from using names like Luke or Loki.

Re: Bigger Galaxies?
For those interested, an intersting site to get started with is here:
http://www.solstation.com/stars.htm
It catalogues stars out to approx 65 ly radius of Sol, and has information and such about them.
I've heard of Romulus, but whatinhell is Hoth? Or is that some STNG name (I never did watch STNG).
