Names longer than the textbox
« on: May 07, 2024, 06:42:25 AM »

Is there a way to input a name longer than the textbox allows? Maybe with a command or editing the campaign data?

Yeah you can edit the save file to add a longer name. I've extended the Omens variant "EW" to the full "Electronic Warfare"

The non-zero effort route:

If you have/create any mod that add entries to a group in ship_names and assigns that group to player.faction, those names will get pulled through and appear in both the player faction fleets and the name randomiser regardless of of how long they are.
