More Ship Names adds 7,500 thematically-appropriate ship names to the naming pool for ships to (randomly) select from.
(6,032 names for conventional ships, and 968 + 500 for REDACTED ships.)
These include:
Names have been chosen from various media including (but not limited to) song titles, science-fiction and fantasy book and short story titles, stories from pulp science-fiction magazines, spacecraft from the Culture series, ship names from the Halo series, British naval vessels (past and present), Japanese naval vessels (past and present), poetry (titles and specific lines), hymns, idioms, and scientific terminology, among other sources.
REDACTED names are a combination of Greek and Hebrew alphabet letters plus a title of royalty (there are only 49 of them in vanilla).
OTHER REDACTED names are six-digit hex codes (the same as vanilla, of which there are only 25).
If you're tired of seeing ships called Einstein's Demon and To Goddard With Apologies, this mod is for you.
Examples of ship names include:
GENERAL: Against The Fall Of Night, Bipolar Nightmare, Carry On Wayward Son, Dances On The Snow, Encounter In The Dawn, Fate Amenable To Change
SPACE: Across The Sea Of Suns, Beyond The Black, Cataclysmic Variable, Distant Retrograde, Eclipsing Binary, Five Against Venus
PIRATE: A Momentary Lapse Of Sanity, Be Quick Or Be Dead, Caught Red Handed, Death Is A Lonely Business, Eight Rounds Rapid, Frustrated Palm Tree
MERCANTILE: Any Colour You Like, Business As Usual, City Upon A Hill, Damning With Faint Praise, Economical With The Truth, For Your Consideration
LUDDIC CHURCH: Acts Of Sacrifice, Banality Of Evil, Children Of Tomorrow, Descent Of Angels, Echoes Of Revelation, Faltering Prayer
BEASTS: Aethon, Bakonawa, Caladrius, Domovoi, Erymanthian, Fenghuang
BRITISH NAVY: Acheron, Bonaventure, Cormorant, Enchantress, Fervent
JAPANESE: Akatsuki, Chikuma, Fubuki, Hamakaze, Izumi, Kusunoki, Matsushima

OTHER REDACTED: 0086d0, 02d5d7, 030997, 04026f, 052243
Note: If you would like LUDDIC PATH ships to also use LUDDIC CHURCH names, and Independent ships to use more SPACE and MERCANTILE names, there is also an optional folder that will allow those factions to expand their pool of names.
Just move the data folder from the optional folder into the root More Ship Names folder.
