Please allow modification of faction names not only in .dat files

[macrogramz]

Faction names not only are impossible to pronounce they are rarely funny, meaningful, or ... well {meh}. Please allow us a text (csv) list of faction random name segments like are given for sectornames:

--> \AvorionServer\data\scripts\lib\sectornamegenerator.lua

I think many would love it to have a factionnamegenerator file.

Thanks. I have looked at .dat in server save files but those names are generated without options from seed. I could change them but this is more than tedious....

I understand that idea behind those random faction names was to have no repeats and every time be something new to player, but what we have now has the opposite effect, where you resort to identifying factions by color of their standing to you first, and first letter of their name second, because their names amount to complete gibberish otherwise.

 

"Oh, I'm in the space controlled by Dsajdhsakdhsajk? I've wanted the Gsjadsajhkhjk space" said no player ever.

 

Imho extensive dictionary of faction names, while initially annoying to put together, would have very positive effect on players immersion down the path, where people would know they are hanging out with "Actium Federation" or "The Church of Theta".
