ShipSoul is a powerful and flexible tool ship names managing utility. for VGA-Planets players It will: improve your game play, save you time and confuse your opponents. These three unique options can be used independently to improve your overall game play.

What do you want more?

1. ShipSoul manages two lists of names for your ships. One set meant for your eyes, and the second set to be seen by your opponents... This means you can use ship names like "Clans for Saratoga", "Make Fighters" and "Pillage on #345" while your opponents will see the other set of names: "USS Nobody's Fool", "BSC Dark Avenger" and "FSS Kill Da Shark".
   No more notes, just take a look at the name of the ship and you'll see what you wanted the ship to do in the first place.

2. If ShipSoul finds a new ship, it will automatically be given a new name. No more worries about what name to use: you simply provide a file with ship names, and ShipSoul will name your new ships on the fly.

3. That second set of names you're using just for your opponents can be used to fool those opponents in three effective but very different ways:
   • You can change all your ship names in a set every turn. This will make it harder for your opponent to remember ships without looking at third party utils like Informer, EchoView etc.
   • You could also give all the ships in one set the same name... Has the same effect as described above.
   • You can pretend to be a sloppy player or newbie player by using the original ship names like "LARGE DEEP SPACE FRE", "ILL WIND CLASS BATTL" etc. Camouflage your strength!

ShipSouls actions are highly configurable to suit your playing style just by simple editing the intuitive configuration file. And ShipSoul has a build-in check routine that can tell you which line of the config file might be wrong.
