Surprisingly Human Namelist Mk2

Description
Have you ever been super excited to build your first battleship; only to realize that the game named it something stupid?! And then, as you examine your fleets and planets, realize most have semi-generic names? Are you looking for a more relatable namelist that still retains gravitas [or a shortfall thereof] for your burgeoning Pacifist Slavers or Holy Empire?

Then look no farther! Surprisingly Human is, well, just that; relatable and surprising! With over 1,100 names for standard ships, + ~35 for each mega ship [juggernaut-colossus], separate names for all support vessel types, fleet and army names, 350+ planet names…well you get the picture. With references to literature, pop culture, history, and the dark depths of my failing mind you'll never run out of names with gravitas for your playthrough!
[bonus brownie points for each reference you get!]

So save yourself the annoyance of having to type an epic name for your species' latest colony or vessel. Instead sit back and enjoy as the Confluence Of Exigencies stands watchful guard over your home-world of Helaran. While the Speaker For The Dead cracks your enemy's fortress world. And revel as the Titanic XVII colonizes Hadley's Hope while the nearby Borealis investigates a new signal on he horizon…




Thank you all for your support and your great patience. I know that this mod sat mostly neglected from Mar of 2021 - July of 2022; I was in a rather crazy period of my life and I couldn't devote the necessary time to fixing it. In the end, it turned out to be an issue with the Paradox Launcher's mod generation software anyway. This is also why this is a repost/new version and not an update of the original; sorry there was no way for me to ever update that one again due to the aforementioned bug. But, from here on out, I know what to avoid [so I don't brick my mod again] and I have more time to keep this updated!



If you encounter any bugs/issues, or wish to brag about the references you've found, drop me a line; I'd love to hear from you! My goal is to keep this mod up to date and fully functional!

If YOU have any suggestions [or vanity names] you'd like to see in the mod please let me know!

Special thanks to:
lsing010 - For some awesome name recommendations
HoH Link - For suggesting most of the Japanese names

Janlitschka I have now playtested the mod in 4.0.* and it worked well for me. Please let me know if you encounter any issues.
I'm a bit worried about Army Names to be honest so keep a close eye on them.

Janlitschka, I was out all last week dealing with a family issue so I haven't been able to test it yet. Planning a test and update later this week [Thurs?] to verify everything.

Hey, how is the 4.0 Compatability? Thank you!

Not that I'm aware of; though if you find differently I'd love to know.
The mod only adds a single file group of plain-text files that the game engine name generator references. So I would not expect it to hinder/break other mods on its own.

Does this mod require any spot on the load order?

TKCPrime,

Just ran a test game with NSC 3; it doesn't appear that either has an issue with the other. Only thing I noticed was that, for the new ship classes, NSC pulls from the general list of warship names only; with how Stellaris formats namelists this makes sense. If I get enough interest, I'll look into making an alternate addition of the mod for use with NSC that addresses this.

If you do encounter any compatibility issues during your play-through please let me know and I'll do what I can on my side to rectify them!

Is it NSC 3 compatible?

authentic_tincan, I could.
But most of the names fit well for multiple ship classes, or lead to some humor/fun head-cannon, if not. Additionally, even with all the names on the list, limiting names to ship classes would have drastically increased the frequency at which any given name would appear. For these and other reasons I decided that it was better to limit only the super-ship names and leave the rest available for all classes, of battleship tonnage and smaller.

I hope that satisfactorily answered your question. If I start getting requests enemas to change this, I'll consider the alteration. Until then I hope you can live with your DD mantling the reputation of its mighty namesake; for its sake I hope it can see more combat than its progenitor did.
