[Question] What do SH3/4 ship names mean?

WTF?

MKFKM would make sense (Mast, Kingpost, Funnel, Kingpost, Mast).

Just curious. I hate the fact that new ships just borrow from the parent's name, even if they are altered...

Some initials in romanian maybe? If you dig around the game files long enough, you'll find all sorts of node names that are ( I believe) romanian, only in shorthand.

:har:

Google says the answer is on... lemme see... some lame site... http://174.123.69.202/~subsimc/radioroom/showthread.php?t=159891&page=3


WTF? Sorry, can't really help you there... banning reasons...

Cool.

Makes me want to change the lot of them, lol.

It's just the code they came up with to work with different models.

@ Jan Kyster: Thanks for the link. I've probably read that thread before, but didn't pay attention. I work with ship names and use those categories every single day, but I've never even wondered what the designations meant, much less thought they might mean something that specific.
