Design Names

Does knowing that that cruiser is called Appletree Aphid help you much? and those are completely random, i only have like one or two favorite early-game names.

That is what I do, except that I use Tolkein based names files.

Doesn't it loop and start re-using names but adding Roman Numerals to them?

Unfortunately, no. It starts at design 0001 and goes from there. Create a game with an AI using a names file with just one name and see for yourself.
