Allow Character Names to Include Numbers

This would be great. My original IPC was meant to have numbers in it, but when I couldn't have numbers I had to replace them with letter look alikes and the name ended up looking so rediculous and stupid no one on the station bothers to talk to me, and I even got BWOINKed because of it, so I just ended up getting rid of the character all together.

I'm thinking this can be sorted out, however I do believe that I will be restricting it to IPC's, so if you try to spawn as a human type with numbers they will be removed from the name.

I don't see how this is necessary when you can use One/Two/Three... In fact, it seems more appropriate to use that instead of 1/2/3.

 

Because an acronym that segues into a number with a hyphen looks better if the abbreviate stance is maintained.


Take for example my IPC, HI-47 MkI. HI-47 MkI looks a lot better and cleaner than HI Fourty Seven MkI.

you could use roman numerals but that might get a little confusing i guess

This is a good idea for IPCs. Roman numerals not only still look messy, but are also still multiple characters for what could be more concisely expressed with just numbers.


That said, HK-XLVII is actually kinda theatrical and cool. Maybe a bad example lol

This should definitely be a thing. While roman numerals are fancy and all, I would like to have numbers for names. An IPC that I have seems almost too special without the numbers. I feel like the numbers would make them feel more of a factory model.
