Hmmm... Could extend it to legendary sea creatures, and non-legendary lizards. Also, there's some non-dragon legendary lizards you could use.

DD: Komodo
CA: Serpent(alt: Sea Serpent), Basilisk
BB: Leviathan, Kraken

I'll see if I can come up with a few more later.

Komodo will do. What legendary lizards? Please - no T-Rexes and Diplodocuses :)

Basilisk would be one of them. Big lizard or serpent, depending on what mythos, that can kill you/turn you to stone with but a gaze. Sea Serpent and Leviathan are sea creatures.

And no, I wasn't suggesting dinosaurs. :P

Níðhöggr (Nidhogg) is the name of a Dragon from Norse mythology. Then again that falls into the same category as Jormungand, the Midgard serpent.

Draco/ Draca, Dreki and Dragoon are also derived from serpents and dragons. Dragoon could be fitting, since it is also a military designation for a certain revolver, a cavalryman and the carrier of a dragon musket.

Adder, Snaca, Naga are all serpent related.

Naga! Okim use Naga please. My first association with Naga is from Heroes of Might and Magic III. Damn those Nagas -> Queen Nagas was beasts  ;D

Yeah, i loved them too. But they are not fitting well the current XLE theme. As well as adder and other real snakes/reptiles. Those are normal for civilians and fighters.

Seems that i`ll have to stick to Serpent, Komodo, Basilisk. And probably use 'Great + name' for larger vessels. For example Great Dragon for BB etc.

Moscows are pretty fun to fly, by the way. Horribly slow, can't catch anything, but anything that gets under my guns pretty much dies instantly. Doesn't do that well against shields, but 8 laser beams and 3 heavy laser beams hurts.

I'd second Leviathan as a good name.  Other relatively generic options include Cockatrice, Salamander, or Linnorm (a D&D popularized derivative of Lindworm or Tatzelwurm)
Slightly less generic names might include Proteus or Olm (a particular type of salamander that used to be thought of as baby dragons), or Tiamat (also D&D popularized, but originally an ancient goddess of chaos & water who has been associated with dragons or sea serpents)

If you're looking for eastern style dragon-y names, though, there are a lot to choose from.  For example:
Orochi, Ryujin, Kuma-Wani, Tianlong, Yazi, etc; in particular, wikipedia pages here and here have some good variety of options.

Lastly, I'd refer you to the following two wikipedia pages, here and here, both of which are just lists of names with minimal descriptions; find something that sounds good, and you're good to go.

Okay!  Got a revised SupplyControl.java file for you; feel free to use / edit it as you like.

Features:
  • It skips the abandoned base; stuff the player stores is safe (for now).
  • Supplies, fuel, crew of all types & marines are pruned proportionate to how many there are over some minimum value - you can still have lots of some of them, but they won't build up to tens or hundreds of thousands.
  • Ships get pruned if there are more than 45 at a station.
  • Ship pruning prefers larger ships first, only prunes down to 45, and never removes the last hull of a given class of ship.

Lots of cleverer things that can be done - like making pruning happen when supply fleets arrive, or adding a pirate looters fleet to try to loot the abandoned base, or the like.  But this is what I can offer you right now.

[edit]Removed attached file.  At least for now, there's a more recent version posted later.  This was never intended to be used as permanent storage of the file anyway.[/edit]

Might as well start creating methods that work for all mods and vanilla on the plugins folder, for example, fetch all variant ships per faction returning an array etc

Basilisks are no more fitting than Naga's. Both are legendary beasts. The Naga is a great serpent or dragon from Hinduism and Buddhism.
