Now if only someone would be kind to update the ship list to The Empire's, from Star Wars.

If you will tell me where this file is, I will be happy to take it and put it into useable form. After all, I have vested interest in this as well. [:'(]

Awesome!

I have plenty of ship names, but cool ship names are so personal in taste.
And on the smaller ships, I do not waste cool names on Escorts which you end up with a billion of: I usually do something like PT-100 or F-700. But destroyer and above... I have a pile of cool names for.

I am surprised the DW ships do as well as they do... the Adjective Noun Combination -- sort of like what Harpoon did for mission names.

Same with system names: I am big fan of Greek City names... but that is a personal thing. It would be kind of cool if DW could do the same two word combination like for the other ships: a list of 1st names and a list of second names...

This is my first mod attempt for the game and I am still not able to get the star names to appear in the game. I have the file in Distant Worlds/Customization/Real Star Names/myfilename.txt. I can see the theme in the game menu and when I switch to it the system pauses as if it's loading all the names, but when I do a quick start all the stars have the same old bogus names. What else should I be doing?

HH, the .txt file must always be called, 'systems.txt'. You have it in the right place though.
