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. . ?

Some themes have a lot less names than others. Which theme were you using?
-
I had the same problem. Just use Random name first, then use auto rename.
-
If I'm not mistaken, the function doesn't really pick a random name from the list but goes from the first to the last entry in the a list. When the list is exhausted, it doesn't start at the beginning but throws an error.

I was using the United States class theme. I hadn't used too many names, I don't think. . Would it really run out so fast?

There are 38 class names for the US theme

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.

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?

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

I don't see a "View Race Details" menu, or window, anywhere?

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.

Her. Just realized, I got the game a few days ago, and it's the version 5. 54. . That might be why my F12 is my task group orders screen. .
