Searching for Planet Names?

from StarControl Forums

Does anybody know if there is going to be a way to search for specific planets by name?

For those Founders who got to name a planet, and I'd love it if we were able to hone right in on it rather than spend hours just randomly searching for it.

Sidenote--is there a possibility that Founders will have a say in their planet's design, or is it too late for that?

Frogboy? Are you there? I'm really curious about the answer to this question. I named my planet (ZoLu) after my daughters, Zoe & Lucy, and I would love to be able to show them the planet named after them. But I'm afraid it's gonna take me forever to find it. 

So, please please include a planet search tool! :pout:

Right now, the easiest way would be to just look in the galaxy file.  It might eventually be something you can search for but it just depends on time.  

Some of you have several versions of your names in there already because I have to manually name any new planets and there can't be duplicate names.

So does that mean there might be an Alpha ZoLu, Beta ZoLu, Delta ZoLu, etc.?

there could be.  I’d have to check. But you’d just search the galaxy file I mentioned to be sure.
