    [suggestion] Name ships

    in Current Feature Improvement Suggestions

    Posted

    I still don't believe this to be ideal. I have used lots of name generators for past RPGs and such, and there are times when you simply can't get what you're looking for.

    For reference, here's an existing Ship naming generator, which I think works fine: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/ship-names.php#.VGDUd2dSHbU

     

    I mean that, from a database, we can build, at our own liking, the words until to get the name we want to put on our vessel. I'm not talking about generated names that, of course, could be a solution if we can't find a name in our minds by pressing a 'Generate Name' button until to find out that which fits completely with we are looking for.

    Sorry to say, but I genuinely don't believe that to be a viable option for any game. I imagine NA will attract many thousands of people, including the bursts from potential Steam sales. The admins and developers will just be absolutely swamped by name requests, and players will not stick around for a game If there's a wait just for getting a name.

     

    Of course it doesn't, my friend. ^_^

    The issue of names will be a complex thing until we don't know how the game world is going to be established.

     

    For example, in encounters which rememorate real battles (Trafalgar, for example), would be easy the work to give to each player a name for his ship. Simple: there will be a list of available vessels that took part on in the historical battle. People who played Privateer's Bounty Age of Sail II will know what I talk about.

     

    But the real problem is when there is a opened world server. A solution would be, as other ones have said, making a database of registered possible names. Players send a request to servers administrators applying for the acceptance of a new created name. Those persons will check each name according to good faith and morality, and after that they finnally decide to deny or admit the requested name.

     

    This solution is, in my understanding, subjective and relative. For example: One person request to administrators the admission of the name "Pennies" which allow him to put on his vessel. Well...some people will think, first of all, that this guy is trying to strain a name with dubious morality that make reference to the male member  :P in the game. The administrators refuse it, but this guy plead that his name is refering to, simply, the plural of penny (coins).

     

    This measure I think could not be efficient enough due to there must be a person (or persons) who are going to check, every hour, every day, every month, solicitudes of possible names that he has to accept or deny, and answering with every dennied name the reasons of why it was dennied.

     

     

    I propose a different solution, maintaining the base of a database:

     

    There could be a database of: Names of persons, animals, plants, colours, cities, etc; allowed adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, articles, determinants, that will bring us the possibility to mix/combine them to make a new and personal name. Special characters will be refused. In the case of a person makes the same combination of words than other one, will prevail the older combination. For example:

     

    I would like to name my french frigate with a beautiful name. I'm going to choose the name of a plant, a preposition and the name of a flower: Fleur + de + Lis --> Fleur de Lis.

     

    We can add also restrictive limits like no more than 4-5 words, and the possibility to use capital or non capital letters.

     

    I believe that the main problem of this way to give a solution for the issue of names is the language, that will be necessary to have a database of many different languages: french, spanish, portuguese, italian, english, swedish, danish, german, polish, russian...

     

     

    That is what I think.  ^_^
