Endless supplies of ship names in every style imaginable! Pick your style and set NameMage to work; it will generate as many names as you like. Pick Indian or Babylonian names for Shivans, Greek or Roman names for Terrans, Egyptian names for Vasudans, Norse names for the NTF, and Minoan names for Ancients. Also useful for roleplaying games.

Another cool enhancement found by GalacticEmperor, purveyor of cool enhancements!

The zip now includes .nam files for Mesoamerican, Egyptian and Minoan names, by yours truly. Put them in the names folder where you installed the program.

If someone someday needs more mesoamerican names i can give you another different, i live in México, and here we have aztec. maya, tolteca and many other cultures, also i have an nahuatl-spanish dictionary with a lot of names.:nod: ;)

 
Thanks, GE. The roleplaying aspect of the program will come in handy (I'm running an FS-post-Capella campaign set seven years after the incident, using TSR's Alternity as the system, the Alternity Star*Drive for ground weaponry and my own schemes for ship-to-ship combat. And yes, the scumbags ARE part of the GTVI :D )
A Seth is a terrible thing to waste. The reverse applies for Shivans.

Ah, I see how this works; it doesn't just pick from a list, but rather makes up new names using word fragments. Pretty clever, and nobody is going to be able to tell the difference anyway. :D

Why has no one thought of this before? nice!

Although for Norse names I'd just look here.

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

 
... a nice thing, I saw a few campaigns with stupid or none Names. I hope I will  never see these things again. Really nice thing REALLY !!!

Very useful for in mission names, but for class names I'd still use Pantheon.org - lets you sort of include a meaning into the name related to the mythical figure...

I wouldn't use these names for ship classes, but they are very good for names of ships.
