# Ship names from Iain M Banks' Culture series
|
|
|
|
This list is culled from the Wikipedia page. I don't know if it's comprehensive (although it looks it), and I haven't checked that all the names are either present in the books or spelled correctly here. I *think* they are, and that's good enough.
|
|
|
|
Note that these names are not all Culture ships; and I think I should probably prefer only to select ones that are.
|
|
|
|
The reason the list is here is that I propose to assign a codename taken from the list to each point release of Post Scarcity. starting from 0.1.0, which will be `A Momentary Lapse Of Sanity`. Names that have already been selected are **highlighted**.
|
|
|
|
I think my plan is to assign 0.1.X point releases names starting with `A`, 0.2.X releases names starting with `B`, and so on; but I reserve the right to change my mind or just be wildly inconsistent.
