Title: Find a theme for a name
Post by: Detros on February 20, 2017, 04:02:45 PM

If I find an interesting name in one of the lists ("Ship names from A"), how do I find from which theme it is so I can set similar names for other ships of given design?

If you have access to the database (stevefire.mdb) then the names are in a table called "ShipNames"  IIRC, which also has attributes defining the various categories each name belongs to (somthing over 190 of them).

there are over 20,000 names last time I checked

I dont believe there is any way of getting this info from the front end.
