It's under the empires tab in the main bar right after the F-keys.
The hotkey is Ctrl+f2.
It's really nice too, I always seem to get John Sheridan as the representing face for the human race as a Babylon 5 fan that makes me happy.

That would probably explain why all the systems I find are either called London or Manchester...

« on: October 07, 2012, 05:00:46 PM »Yeah I guess I just ran out. So my next question is, how do I choose a different theme? Or will I just have to use the random rename, or manual rename?

Did you have the game design ships and tech for you? That can chew up a large chunk of names.
As a suggestion, Maybe Steve can have it recycle the names when it hits the end of the list and tack a I, II, II, etc onto it.

There are 38 class names for the US theme

« on: October 07, 2012, 04:55:58 AM »So, I've been playing my first game for a while, and I've stumbled into a relatively minor, but still a little annoying issue.
When I opened up the Class Design window to design a larger jump-ship to jump my freighters, I made a new class, and decided to use the Auto-Rename function. An error popped up, stating: "No New Name Found - Please select a new racial theme if you want additional class names. " Now. . I only have a few ship classes used, so I don't understand how there could be no more. . ?
