Summary0022194: UI to select fleet name packs
DescriptionApparently you can mod in fleet name via

AIWar 2 > GameData > Configuration > FleetNames_Mobile_P1 OR P2

But there isn't a way to select between packs, like you can with planet names.

This is a feature request for that for fleet names :)

First post a few namesets, then we'll talk.

I think this is a great idea.

Attached are 5 lists I banged out.

Both of the ship sets are from wikipedia, with anything with spaces and periods removed. US states obviously has spaces.

However, for these to work I need a change. Right now the name sets assume prefix and suffix pairs. However, these are straight lists to choose from.

To make it work I created a P2 file with a single entry of one space. That doesn't play well, as you get a space in every ship name (see attached image). If it is an empty file, the game freaks out and picks random numbers.

Can we adjust the name code to say something like "If we find zero entries we just append empty string as a pre/suffix"?

Beyond the states and gods, I'm not stuck on the other three. They seemed like a good idea, but if we don't use them I won't be sad. Suggestions also welcome.

Other suggestions:
famous chess players
cowardly ships (the british ships list is full of things like "Valiant" and "Dauntless". What about a bunch of fleets like "Timorous", "Cowardly", "Defeat", "Mouse", "Plodding", "Doleful", "Inept", "BraveSirRobin", etc... )
