Wish I could add this many names - but unfortunately there's a system limit of 2048 characters plus commas. You'll find that you won't get many, if any, random names after about Haga and Krey respectively.

You could, however, prolly get in about 50-60 names each on top of the default list without hitting this limit.

If you want to trim your list, you may not know but you can also add names with spaces by surrounding with double quotes - ie "von Ronstedt".

Also, to preserve user data, SH3Cmdr never overwrites SH3Cmdr.ini, meaning that current users would still need to download and copy and paste. New users would get the extra names without needing to follow these steps.

And one more thing - not so much an issue with crewmen but it is with commanders - there's a 16 char name limit, so it may be best to limit the length of each name to around 8 chars (you'll also fit more in too )

Great work though!
