I figured out that you can add an empire theme from the main menu-bar, Game menu, Add Theme. There's also an option in that menu to provide a new list of ship names. What about commander names? Is there any way to add to the game a new set of commander names, or modify one of the existing ones?
-
No, this isn't possible. Commander Name themes don't all follow the same rules so I have to code the differences. However, if you have the names for a new theme I can add it to the next version
-
So, can anyone give a step by step of how to add ship names as I can't quite get it to work.

What I wanted to do was create an English or American theme with only male first names. It breaks the suspension-of-disbelief for me when I have female officers getting blown up in the thick of a space battle. (It's not as bad as Dwarf Fortress, though, in which female axe-dwarves carry their babies into combat...)
-
Sounds like what you need is an option to exclude female names, rather than a new theme. That would be simpler and also work for all themes (although I think there may be one or two that don't flag female names).
-
Would be useful to be able to exclude male names as well, for those times that you want to play as the Matriarchy :D
-
An option would be great, but I would have assumed that'd be a lot of extra work for you, compared to simply uploading a modified list of names. If you can squeeze it into a future release, that would be wonderful. Thanks for developing a great game.

+1 :)

As long as we're piling on requests for new features for Steve to implement, why not ask for toggles so that naval and ground forces could be all-male, while scientists and civilian administrators could be either sex?
I also see the potential for a "war between men and women" campaign in the future...
