Make a new class of name for ships (or maybe one for ships of each nation and pirates) and let the random name generator use that to make convoy (and other) capship names. It just seems silly that the convoy tridents and connies are named after their pilots.

it would be nice to see all capships named.

Simple workaround:

Create a list of "CapShip Pilots" with "ship names", i.e., every nation CapShip pilot have same 1st name, surname is the ship's name.

Bots names (example):
* IFS Monk
* SSS Solaris
* UDF Excelsior
* UDF Enterprise
* XX Shenzhou

And create an acronym for each nation's fleet for ship's prefix. Some factions can also have prefix. suggested above:
-Itani Fleet Spaceship
-Serco Superiority Ship
-United Defense Force
-Xang Xi

You can't read very well, can you Alloh?

nice suggestion ladron, and btw cappie's turrets will be called well then!

Yeah, the turrets should show up as <Ship Name> Lower Aft Turret, or whatever. Currently each turret has its own NPC name >.>

I can, but do you understand how a game engine, or general computer programming works?

You wanna name ships? Like HMS Ark Royal?
And now engine "name the ship" after its pilot, as "*Bot Name"?

workaround >> rename the "*Bot Name" as "HMS Ark Royal" and you have the desired effect without changing game's engine!

Before: -Targeting Ship "*Lol Duka"
After: -Targeting Ship "*XX Yamato"

You can't read very well, can you Alloh?

So turrets read:

*SS ShipName Lower Aft Turret

So, someone who can read better than me please explain how this does not fulfill objective, =(name a capship).

And why restrict it only to convoy's capships? Make all capships have name.

Alloh, everything you have said so far either poorly rephrases something that someone else said earlier, or doesn't make sense in English.

Yes, we understand how the game engine works. Most of us have been dealing with it for considerably longer than you have. If you could read, you would notice that I addressed the issue you've wasted 3 posts on with my first sentence.

And why restrict it only to convoy's capships? Make all capships have name.

You would also notice that I mentioned in the OP that this should be the case. However, there are currently no unnamed capships in the game except for the convoy ones, so they are the ones that need to be addressed specifically.

Why "Make a new class of name for ships", requiring major changes in game engine, since no ship has proper name, while you can achieve same results simply working on bot names?

Capships on BS are identified by their pilot's name...

What ladron meant was a separate new class of "pilot" names for random generator to dive into for capship names generation.
