Default Ship Names text limits?

For ship names (or planet names, etc...) is there a size limit? I am thinking of playing with individual ship names in a certain game, but want to make sure it's feasible. Can the game handle ship names up to 30 characters?

thanks,

Alarik

Test it and find out. But what name would be 30 characters long?

Heh, I just whipped up a couple thousand klingon names using some Klingon dictionary and Klingon House names Online...some get longish...(but probably mean things like "Goiter of House Reshtarc")

IKS K'mara
IKS M'mara
IKS Q'mara
IKS Ka'mara
IKS Qi'mara
IKS Drexa'mara
IKS Hurric'mara
IKS Jurris'mara
IKS Limmrii'mara
IKS Palarra'mara
IKS Reshtarc'mara
IKS Simparri'mara
IKS Solazarn'mara
IKS Subaiesh'mara
IKS Urussig'mara
IKS bir Jabiu 'mara

and so forth....using Excel I came up with a list of more than 10,000 unique names to cut and paste in...I really quite enjoy the QConflict game, can ya tell?

Thanks,

Alarik
