Anex Realistic System Names

描述
Anex Realistic System Names
Around 5000+ System names (5x the vanilla list) that are painstakingly put together from various sources and real names,
removed most of the incomprehensible, Greek, Arabic, and Scientific naming and replaced them with common names for those stars.

Also, I hate the Alpha <starname>, Beta <starname>, Omega <starname>, etc type designations so I removed all alpha, beta type references, so a star like "Alpha Centauri" becomes just "Centauri" in this list, most of the star names are just single word.
This helps a ton with Readability and Pronouncing as well as makes it easier to remember.

Here, is another reason for such naming, since some people really like Alpha, Beta type designations.

"Normally Alpha, beta type designations are given to tidally locked stars or stars in close proximity to one another, e.g. Alpha Centauri (α Centauri) consists of 3 stars: Rigil Kentaurus(Alpha Centauri A), Toliman (Beta Centauri) and Proxima Centauri (C).[12] Proxima Centauri
Now, the DW game generation would never put these stars in any close proximity and doesn't even generate binary or trinary stars, thus just adds to confusion and unrealistic to name the stars like so at random.
Hence simplified. Hence the title "Realistic"."

I hope you enjoy it,
Use and Reuse as you like no credit needed, open for anybody to do anything with it.

@cptnoname,
It's a personal preference, nothing more or less.

No Alpha Centauri or Zeta Reticuli makes this a non-pick for me.
It isnt about personal preference. Its about being immersed in a galaxy and seeing real actual star names out there.

Anex, it's entirely your choice how you do your own mod, and other people can then decide whether to play it or not, so I'm not hear to criticise your decision about the Greek letters.

However, I don't think it's correct that these Greek prefixes generally refer to close tidally locked stars. As I understand it the Greek naming system is called the Bayer designation and was originally devised in around 1600 AD. Each Greek letter refers to a different star (or system of stars) in the constellation.

So for the constellation Centaurus, Alpha Centauri is a triple star system consisting of Alpha Centauri A, B and C, which are also known as Rigil Kentaurus, Toliman and Proxima Centauri respectively. All three are about 4 light years away.

On the other hand, Beta Centauri, also known as Hadar, is a completely different triple star system, which is about 390 light years away.

Delta Centauri, which is 410 light years away, may or may not be a binary system.

getting a CTD during the start of a new game with this mod xl and a few others enabled, when i disable this mod it is able to start the new game fine. Was using random start position. When i started a new game last week with same mod list and used a outer reached start position it started the game fine.

how are the arabic, latin, greek, and scientific names incomprehensible? they're just like, words.

LOL Centauri is pretty, well... Greek.

Thanks for replacing those weird Arab and Latin names with honest English names like Centauri

We all know why Aplha, Beta designations exist, you failed to read the part below comments where i specifically explained that the game does'nt replicate that , theres no trinary, binary systems.
"Normally Alpha, beta type designations are given to tidally locked stars or stars in close proximity to one another, e.g. Alpha Centauri (α Centauri) consists of 3 stars: Rigil Kentaurus(Alpha Centauri A), Toliman (Beta Centauri) and Proxima Centauri (C).[12] Proxima Centauri

Does that make more sense now.
