We take every members name in the forum, those who post here, and we make a SYSTEM NAMES file out of that list for use with SEIV.

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Lets do it!

I guess we will have to get a list of names, but with nearly 5,000 members, how do we thin the heard?

I guess if you want your name used in this idea you can post here.

Make sure you use a capitalized G, E, and B when you use my name (GregEBowman). That would look better than all small case letters. But you're right. That is a Brilliant idea.

Loser Sounds real fine until you find your homeworld in a system called, "Loser" (LOL). Or you see your nickname in one of those "dying star" systems.

Actually, Gryphin and I played a game with new system names...kind of a riot, really.

The only way to get the names would be to start a list here (assuming there is no way to get it downloaded from the forum/Shrapnel). Just ask who wants their name on it.

I can't believe that I have to bump this great topic back to the top. We can not let this thread die until we have 255 names. Remember its first come first serve and we are nearing the 50 names mark.

(I am so depressed that more people have not taken an interest in this.)

COME ON PEOPLE! Let have those names from the forum, your avatar names are needed!
