Randomshipnames OXP

Introduction

This OXP adds randomly generated names to almost all normal ship classes (except Thargoids) in Oolite.

Overview

Randomshipnames.oxp does exactly what it says on the tin: assigning randomly generated names to the ships you meet in your Ooniverse. A big thank you goes to "Disembodied" for not only coming up with useful naming schemes, but also providing huge word lists as fodder for the random generator.

Minimum Requirements

Randomshipnames.oxp requires at least Oolite 1.75.

Download Location

Randomshipnames.oxp v 1.1 is available for download via box.com.

Installation

Move or copy the file randomshipnames1.1.oxp from its download folder into your AddOns folder. Where that resides depends on your installation. Make sure to remove any previous versions. Restart Oolite.
