Rihannsu and tlhInghan Hol names

I just want to give kudos for whoever is responsible for doing the lookup for most of the ship class names so that they actually make sense as Romulan and Klingon names.

Now could someone go and revisit the random ship name tables and other such places and remove the obvious nonsensical entries that don't even use the right letters (especially for Klingons)?

    The "generic" names are pulled from all the names that the gamers create, i know, because i invented a very precise name for one ship, that means a lot to me, and a few months later, i saw it on another ship, and later on others.

    Considering I've never seen a single non-thematic default name on a ship, no they aren't.

    My thread is always open if anyone wants a ship name translated.

    I am fairly certain that the default names are drawn from a list that hasn't changed since launch. The players you saw simply had the same idea as you.
