Planet/Star Names

from GalCiv2 Forums
In my early gaming days, I named my planets a majority of names. But recently, I have started noticing Systems sharing those planets names in new games. Is this some kind of feature, or am I unknowingly creating Planet names that already exist? Examples: Artemis, Leto, Zeus, Sitlet, and some other serious names. I've named planets silly things like "Disney World", so I hope that it dosn't end up bieng a star system owned by Evils.

Those names are and have always been in the list of random names given to stars when the galaxy is generated (Data\English\STARS.txt). You've just not gotten them before by random chance.

I've named a planet Spaceball before; maybe in a new mod there will be a new minor race{Spaceballs} that only appears when a star named Spaceball is randomly generated. There could be a new pirate ship that hunts down Spaceball ships, and it would be a flying Sedan that 'Jams' long-ranged radars.
