[resource] huge list of ship names from wikipedia
« on: February 22, 2017, 07:20:07 PM »

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is strictly within forum rules so feel free to delete if I'm breaking something

did this a while ago and thought I'd share it. Attached below is the alphabetical list of ships from the British Royal navy from this page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ship_names_of_the_Royal_Navy

under alphabetical. Consolidated and adapted into the "general" shipname list file in starsector. I don't quite remember how many there are but word counter puts it at just under 5500, about 2.5 times the length of the original list. While this can be used just by putting it in any mod, the way ship name weighting is done means that each new name would be assigned a lot less frequently than normal. In my personal mod, I have increased the "general" list weighting for every faction by a factor of 10 to compensate. The list can also be sorted and put in custom name lists if you have the patience.

Hum, I'm using almost that same list for Diable's ships names already ^^ I mean, that's an easy way to go about it, right.
