As I understand, Steve has accepted contributed name lists in the past, right? I'd add the names to a forum thread (such as this one) and then put a note about it in the suggestions thread.

Also, you could put a note in the suggestions thread asking for a way to load this type of information from a text file, as currently you can't alter it without using Access to edit the database.

Alright, thank you for the info.  So, if I wanted to make some txt.  files for officer names, how would I go about that, then? The theme creation did not seem to contain officer names.

Existing files do not exist.

That data is in the stevefire.mdb.

Hi.

I have a question; How can one find the existing name files for ships/officers/ranks/other stuff in Aurora?

If we take the Finnish main Empire theme as an example, there is no corresponding commander theme for it, and I cannot find a way to make a new commander name file to fix this, if I felt like using that particular empire theme.  Also, adding new names to the existing ship design name lists could be good.

The theme creation itself seems to only allow you to make "Class names" (I assume these are ship names?) Rank names and System names.  Which, I assume means no names for commanders or randomly generated corporations/shipyards/component manufacturers?

Anyone know how to fiddle with these things?
