Request: names for human fleets
This board seemed to most appropriate to put this request on. For 0.2 we need alphabetical list of names for fleets of futuristic human Empire, around 200 names would be good.

Because numbers are boring and harder to associate. We have that already. Idea is that each race can have own list for their fleetnames, adds to personality of races and to immersion. And for modding purposes, if someone wan'ts to have his/her's fleetnames for example be from WWI etc, just replace the file. This kind of system was in Space Empires IV. Naturally there will be a option to name fleets yourself, but this is much better than having them all like "fleet_257".
Not a difficult task, take geographical names, names from mythologies, names from scifi and fantasy, Latin words, nature, history, whatever and check that they already aren't in system-names list.
Anyone up to task?
You can just post partial lists here and then combine them when there's enough.

I hate to be a curmudgeon about this, but I feel that if we use any of these names, the player is just going to rename them. I don't think asking that each race have a list of 200 soon-to-be-overwritten names is a good idea. This isn't in the design document and hasn't gone been vetted by anybody.
