Ship Captains

I remember a thread asking about the A2 interface section mentioning Ship Captain names (a thread I cannot find) and was wondering if that can be put into the game?

I don't think this would be implementable. Think about how many names it will need

Not many more than the Shipnames.

You could even make less, since theoretically if a ship is destroyed the captain might survive to captain another ship.  But that's still a lot of names.

Many ship names can work as Captains, since only 'Captain *Surname here*' would be needed and Starfleet often names ships after people (normally using the surname).

Other races are no different; Klingon and Romulan shipnames are almost all good people names.
