Fyron, you havn't got a "Black Speech" or Sindarin/Quenya speech generator as well have you?

I've recently been working on a "A Bit Crap, Really" names file. The idea is that once you've gotten so ggod at the game that winning against other humans is no longer a challenge, you use the "Crap" names files in order to humiliate them. For example, your enemy's emabarrassment would be compounded if they were defeated by a fleet of "Duct Tape & Superglue" class destroyers, or a "Critical Design Flaw" Baseship.

Other names include
"Could Do Better"
"Worryingly Sticky"
"Significant Safety Issues"

Full list will be posted to my website upn completion...

Handy tip #2164351/c:
Make your ship name lists in Excel, one name per row. This makes it easy to count and sort your ships names. When you've finished making the list, just highlight them all and copy/ paste into notepad.

Love the Culture name file (coz I love the Culture novels) but there are a few "accidental" entries in there. For example I think "From Look to Windward", "Affront ships" and "Zetetic Elench Ships" are actually comments from the website about the list rather than the names of ships. But I haven't read all the books so I can't be sure=-) There are probably a few others like that in there too.

For those Brits posting who read "Viz", I am working on a "Roger's Profannisaurus" design names file which I wil be happy to share on a no-liability basis. All credit will be given to Viz for this endeavour.

As El Scoffo said, the primary purpose of this file is to have silly names for your vessels which will humiliate your opponents.. that being said.. initial trials have been wonderful and personally, the sight of squadrons of "Lucky Pierre" class cruisers, "Sailing up the Windward Passage" class destroyers and "Ragman's Coat" class fleet carriers is just a joy to me

Culture.txt has been corrected, and thank for the input, Dogscoff!

No probs Sachmo.

Profanisaurus name file?

There's an Online Version somewhere isn't there?

Dogscoff, yes there is but unfortuneately my firewall stops me viewing that awful mucky stuff at work...

I might even try and do a 'Profanisaur' Mod, watch out for the 'felch' beam, duck as 'hairy coconut' missiles fly over your head
