Renaming systems |
Okay I've got a really pointless question here. Is it possible to rename an entire star system?
I ask for oganisational purposes ... because I like to alter my warp points (well) into the game and create zones of 5 or so systems that can operate indopendantly of each other if need be.Theory holds that if one (heaven forbid) gets overrun I can sever the connections and funnel the enemy where I want 'em or failing that wall myself in. Anyone else do this or am I thinking way too much?

Can't rename systems

system names
But you CAN make a list of system names,or better: add extra names to the list in the game dir.
I did this and still dont have enough names for all systems.

Nice to be certain, but you can rename you home worlds and all of your colonies and individually name your ships that’s enough for me. You can also call your ship and unit classes pretty much any thing you want and as it was said you can Mod the system names file if you wish
Data\SystemNames.txt says
Data\SystemNames.txt says yes. I haven't tested it yet, but I have other 255 system names based on Bayer designations. I'm not even through the C's yet.
I would love to see this
I would love to see this implemented. . .

Not sure if you can rename
Not sure if you can rename systems, but it would be a nice feature to have, however it would have to be something that Aaron hard coded into the game, not something I think that modders could achieve.
As for your stratergy, its perfectly acceptable, in late game against humans you need to do everything you possibly can to keep em out. Just be aware that by that stage they should also be able to open and close gates, the AI isn't upto it yet but you can gaurentee that there are modders out there who are planning to make this available to the AI as a stratergy as well.
