Are sequential ship names possible?

[Rhel]

Is it possible to use sequential ship names? I've been trying to get it to work for a custom name list but so far I've had no luck. Am I just being a dummy or can ships not use sequential names?

I heard somewhere that they can't. Although if the name list has exhausted all unqiue names, it seems to reuse them and stick a Roman number to it.

You can. It's just a bit complicated. Check out the STNH mod's "NCC" registries.

Hmm. I can't seem to find anything in the namelists themselves. What am I looking for?

It's an effect.

#NCC number setting on ship build
ship_event = {
    id = STH_onaction.800
    hide_window = yes 
    is_triggered_only = yes
    trigger = {
        exists = owner
        owner = { starfleet_empire = yes }
    }
    immediate = {
        owner = { change_variable = { which = "builtShips" value = 1 } }
        set_name = "NCC_SHIP_NAME"
    }
}

NCC_SHIP_NAME:0 "[This.GetName] NCC-[Owner.builtShips]"

This is nuts. But it should work.

I know that this is rather old thread, however I recently tried to do something like that for my personal mod and I was unable to find working solution - I want to crreate numbering system for any player created empire. Does anyone have any hint?
