Right now - [] {} _ are allowed in ship names.

I'm going to add a few more, like (), *, etc. Just someone wish to give me a list?

Additionally me and mobo are going to allow spaces in names, and remove _ in names. This is to solve some chat issues where _ is needed for chat programs and need to convert " " to "_" to solve this. But it's a better tradeoff from what I think. We'll update the nexus for those changes so peeps with _ have a space instead.

In a better case - please let us know with a PM or a post here if your name has a _ in it. That way we can remove it and you can have it all set up properly.

There is an issue from using the Tilda - it is reserved for offline player spoofing currently. In the future we can alleviate this problem but at the moment that one will still be reserved.

True, tilia will be fine for shipname. I think its fine to leave it out of playernames though as you can tell easier anyways as well. Tongue

Nick chars 1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-()[]{}<>^|
Ship chars  1234567890ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvw xyz_-()[]{}<>^|«»¤º¹°§~^

I think using those fancy stuff for names would be ugh, and a hassle specially in the nexus and trying to find names and such, so I just added <> and (), brackets!

As for ship names, i'll try to get as fancy as possible.

So far.

Wasn't happy with ۩ ۪ ╤ ╥ ▪ characters yet. Trying to see why.  Sad


EDIT:
Pfft ۩ ۪ ╤ ╥ ▪ dont' work properly with SF font. Lollin.
²³ are to small, kinda pointless. the ¹ works as a little line thing though. so I'll keep that:P

I was disappointed when I first learned that the '=' can no longer be used.
