Default Design Names

when creating design names for ships, what is the minimum do you need to have in the list?

Nope, not at all. However, if you're planning to use the file with an AI yoou'll probably need a good few hundred entries, becasue the AI dos gobble them up. Human players tend to be (usually) more economical with their names.

AI will run out of names in a long game and start naming ships 'design 4002' if the list is not long enough.

So what do you think? 100? 1000?

100 is certainly not enough. 1000 is probably more than the AI will need.
