Here's something that has annoyed me - changing capitol ship names. Obviously, these names are taken from a list somewhere in the code. My question is, why can't it be based in an external text file that we can modify? This would save us the trouble of having to manually rename ships in-game.

I don't usually rename anything when I play, but having played Civ a number of times, I do recall them having a similar feature for being able to determine city names and this just kind of made sense to me.
