Changing Planet and Ship Names

I know its probably been covered a dozen times before but I can't find the post. How do I change the default names. Not the race names but the ship names, planet names and the faction ones?

Thanks.

I'm not sure of it myself, but I'm certain somewhere in the game tutorials it tells you how to change names for planets/ships.

At the bottom of the screen directly in the middle there is a box. It is the box that has a picture show up that shows what you have currently selected. At the top of that box is a small arrow that is pointing upwards. If you click it you can rename your planets/ships. Also if you hover over it it will give you text explaining what the button does.

EDIT

I may have read that wrong as well. Are you meaning while you are in the game playing or before-hand....as in creating a scenario or your own personal set so you won't have to change the names of ships every single game?

Do you mean the randomly assigned planet names and ship designations?

Faction, Planet and capitalship names can be changed within the English.str file, but you might not be able to play with others in MP games due to differing checksums.

look for these near the beginning of the English.str file:

StringInfo
ID "IDSPlayerAINameTech0"
Value "Nitheim Rebels"
StringInfo
ID "IDSPlayerAINameTech1"
Value "Trade Coalition"
StringInfo
ID "IDSPlayerAINameTech2"
Value "Arn Consortium"
StringInfo
ID "IDSPlayerAINameTech3"
Value "Tondam Corporation"

=========

StringInfo
ID "IDS_STARNAME_218"
Value "Targus"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_STARNAME_219"
Value "Vione"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_STARNAME_220"
Value "Kronac"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_STARNAME_221"
Value "Draconis"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_PLANETNAME_000"
Value "Aarhus"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_PLANETNAME_001"
Value "Abderhalden"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_PLANETNAME_002"
Value "Aberdonia"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_PLANETNAME_003"
Value "Abilunon"

=================

StringInfo
ID "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH00"
Value "TDN Khronis"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH01"
Value "TDN Aegia"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH02"
Value "TDN Revoria"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH03"
Value "TDN Golgonev"
StringInfo
ID "IDS_CAPITALSHIPNAME_TECH04"
Value "TDN Behemov"

=====changing these will change faction, planet/star, and randomized Capitalship names.

Atm, SINS only supports TECH, PSI, and PHASE randomized names and not additional races. I, for 7 Deadly Sins 2.0 Final, have entries for Empire, Rogue, Atlantian, TCA, UNITY, DARK, Arilou, and Korhah, but there is currently no way to use them.

Hope this help you.
