 The first parameter of $externalNameEngine is the name of your worldScript, second is the primary role of the ships you rename in your $randomName function. Third is the probability of the callback between 0 and 1 where 1 mean always, 0.1 mean only the 10% of ships with the given primaryRole will be named by your function, others will get names from randomshipnames.
