I will second that motion for a modding help subforum. It's done a lot of good for other communities to keep help separate so those topics get seen.

The chat window part of the UI is hard coded as far as I can tell. I went looking and couldn't find it in the scripts anywhere. (because my eyes are also kinda crap, So I know your pain there). I'dve modded it for you, if I could.

Well, more precisely, you'd have to edit a number of them, basically anything dealing with the ship name in the UI. We also have fighters in the game already, so that might cause some confusion. I'd write it, but personally wouldn't have much of a use for it until better AI and some fleet logic comes along.

I can kinda see where this would be useful, particularly in a hardcore MP server or something, but how to go about implementing that limitation... Not sure. There's also the fact you can have more then one ship to your name to consider... And how that aught to be handled. innnntresting...

I'm going to try this out now. this will be brilliant if it works as well as I hope.

I do like the look of this!

To anyone that says you can't have good looking ships right off the bat, I present some of mine, and I've only had the game for a few days. Here's the first ship I tried to make look good the 'Norway' (yes, I'll make Finitiy's End referances all I wall :P) The Norway: the Escort Frigate Arcadia, I have more then one of these floating around mining for me. sadly, this si a new game, the last one with the Norway in it got ate in a crash. The EFS Arcadoa and EFS Hood:
