[Release] Random Player/Ship Name 1.0.1
This oxp enhances the in-built ship registration interface with random pilot names and ship names. Names are generated using oolites in-built word generator and word lists. Word lists for pilot names are recycled from Random Hits OXP and for ship names from Rescue Stations OXP. If Random Ship Names OXP is installed, then it is used in addition.

Re: [Wip] Register ship expanded 0.1
Love love love it!
Re: [Wip] Ship registration ext 0.2
New version 0.2
* If Random Hits is installed, it's used to add variation to pilot names.
* Random shipname screen simplified so that there's just one option for new names. Names are randomly selected from trader, hunter and pirate names. A lot nicer to use.

Re: [Wip] Ship registration ext 0.2
Great concept! 
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
Re: [Wip] Ship registration ext 0.3
Almost ready for release. One more version for testing (0.3). This has been a fun project 
.
* Included word lists from cim's Rescue Stations OXP for random ship name generation.
* Included word lists from LittleBears's Random Hits OXP for random pilot name generation. These are used alongside with Oolite's in-built name generator.
* Background image recycled from Technical Reference Library OXP.
In other words, no need for Random Hits or Rescue Stations. The only optional dependency is Random Ship Names OXP.
The first post has been updated with images.

Re: [Release] Random Player/Ship Name 1.0
Finally decided the name, so it's a release. No other changes from 0.3 than a few file renames.

You only need it if you have trouble inventing name for your pilot/ship.ffutures wrote:Excellent - will update right away!

Re: [Release] Random Player/Ship Name 1.0
These are like vanity license plates.
So as a suggestion...how about making these changes cost credits?
...like 10 or 100 credits per name change.
The "Dangerous"-sounding ones might cost more.
Costs of changing registration information and all.
Bureaucracy is not cheap in the Elite/Oolite universe.

Re: [Release] Random Player/Ship Name 1.0.1
New version (1.0.1) is up fixing a bug hinted here .
* Now all combinations of self entered and randomly selected player/ship names should be working as advertised.
* Exiting brings you back to the interfaces instead of status screen.
