I don't know why that would be, and of course I can't check it.
That's why I included the bits about making sure the option is checked and updating the Personnel file in Commander. And about updated versions of the Ship Names file. 'Cause I'm not sure either why no ships at all would be getting names and data, but those would be the easiest things to check and eliminate as culprits.

As for naming the 'X' ships, the real reason I haven't is the sheer volume of the work involved. If it was possible to have ships for each country I would gladly do that, as I already have every single ship catalogued that way. But that can't be done in SH3 without bringing it to a standstill.

I personally don't like the 'X' idea, simply because which countries are neutral changes several times early in the war, and the only ones that are consistently neutral until a set date are the Americas, and they are classified as neutrals by the game anyway. If one programmer could make SH4 give ships names I'd make the switch without a second thought. Until then I keep doing it for SH3C mainly because I'm cataloguing them all anyway, and SH3 is the only way I can publish the work.
I haven't looked at all the MFM Roster folders yet, but I wonder if it would be possible to do something there that would give the effect of having certain ships for each country, or for smaller groups of countries, by editing which nations' Rosters each of the 'X' classes appear in.
