Title: a newcomer's mistake
Post by: peterv on July 02, 2008, 06:58:49 pm
I 've uploaded a ship in freespacemods.net and then i realised that the name i used (hestia) was used before. Is there any way to avoid such mistakes? A catalog or something?

Don't worry there's no law against it. It's your ship name it what you want ;D

I don't worry about law problems. Just think that some rules like avoiding allready used ship-names keeps the future less chaotic.

I know what you mean, there's no all encompassing list of every ship made. Have a look around here and FreeSpaceMods for a bit to see what names are taken. Pretty much everything greek etc is done once or twice. :)

That' s the reality. Perhaps i' ll make a name - catalog my self when i' ll stop being a newcomer.

Here's a start, though by no means comprehensive (and I think it's also a bit out of date, not sure). There should be something like this on the Wiki though imo.

Ehh, I'm starting to use freespace ship names myself, as I'm running out of ideas myself.

       Yeah, everyone can look in wonder and amazement at all the ships people've made that they've never seen (and for some mods, maybe never will).

Thank's Akalabeth angel. As for the "running out off ideas" issue i believe that mythologies from all over the world is an endless source.
