what i'd love to be able to do is to have naming schemes for ships based on their hull designation (like, a list of names for CA, a list of names for DD and so on), with an option for "no duplicates" (so each ship is uniquely named until you run out of available names).
even better would be to be able to make a complete hierarchy of naming schemes, like "overall, i'm using <x> names; but since i like cruisers, CA's get names from this list; and this awesome class here deserves its own naming scheme!"
being able to save that setup with your preferred racial settings (picture, ship icon, colour and so on) would be much appreciated
and since i'm dreaming about ship naming, having an option to add a hull number to the name (either for ship class or hull class: like "DD-187 Hawkwing (Maryland Class)" would make me feel far more attached to that ship than "DD Maryland #12")
