I've been using Star Wars companies.

Koensayr System Engineering (KSE)
Kuat Drive Yards (KDY)
Seinar Fleet Systems (SFS)
MandalMotors
Incom

One of the earlier campaigns I used real world companies based in the 1800's.

I guess you could start a thread, and take suggestions for company/product names to put in a list.   8)

Isn't this like having Commander names?

In a sense yes. I need to add some lists of weapon manufacturers but I could base them on the racial theme or, as you suggest, on the commander names.

A number of us rename components as they are being built. I.E. instead of a 20cm C1 Plasma Carronade, it is a Julian Arms 200mm Plasma Cannon.

Would it be possible (as an option on the Game screen) to randomly generate some of these names at design time?
It would be difficult, unless someone can come up with the necessary logic. The trick will be to maintain some type of theme so that every Empire doesn't have a unrelated set of names. One possibility might be the ability to add the names of weapon manufacturers to your Empire so that one would be automatically chosen when you are designing weapons, or you could choose one from a list.

That's what I mean. Add in weapon makers. :)
