"so I couldn't tell what kind of a ship it was."
So, it is a good way to disguise your ship types?
Nice trick.

Yes, but be careful who you use that against. There are those that would consider that a bit unsporting.

Good point geoschmo,
Besides, I there are enough other "psy warfare" methods to use.
I'll try to keep the ship names under 20.

Actually 20 was a guess on my part. To be sure you might want to test it a little. I will when I get a chance and let you know what I find out.

Will do, and thanks again.
Have to check if it is differant for
1024 x 768
vs
800 x 6500

Gryph, having clicked the link on your sig, I now see how your list works. I was wondering how a person could specify what kind of ship their name was used for.

Therefore, please could you add the following to the list:
Dogscoff's Skybastard Class

dogscuff: all set,

Length of name limit:
To be sporting to / with your human adversaries it would be good to keep ship names under 20 characters. 15 Would be even better.

When the names are too long it makes it hard to determine if you have met this type befor.

I will try to create a "Short Names List" along with the others.
