Rename Ships with Expression (RSwE)
Based on Loky77's RSwE 1.7 found here

    While basing on Loky's version, my version of RSwE has only the general functions in common with Loky's RSwE.
    Because i changed every File Name and the Command Slot, you could use my RSwE and Loky's RSwE at the same time,
    but i don't recommend this.
    I recommend to uninstall all other RSwE-related scripts before installing this version of RSwE.
    there should be no script-related problems, but it can confuse the user, having two or more RSwE-Commands

    Uninstall:
    To Uninstall the script, you have to:
  •  
      run the uninstall script uninstall.plugin.rswe
      Remove the following files
    •  
        in T directory:
      •  
          8860-L007.xml
          8860-L033.xml
          8860-L034.xml
          8860-L039.xml
          8860-L042.xml
          8860-L044.xml
          8860-L048.xml
          8860-L049.xml
          8860-L086.xml
          8860-L088.xml
        • in Script directory:

    • Concept
    This script has been developed to allow quick and powerful renaming functions
    to use with your ships and stations. The method of entry means that you can give
    names unique to each ship in large batches. Whether you are renaming a small
    group or all of your ships in the universe is up to you.

    Central to the idea of RSwE are the Expressions. These are like "text shortcuts"
    which are intrepreted by the script to produce context-defined results. When
    combined with standard text this allows you to specify names that are both
    unique to your ships and customized to your prefrence. Thus, if you have a group
    of three Buster Raiders to rename, entering *CL-*TA Orion *NN will rename them
    to M4-BR Orion 1, 2, and 3.

    There are also 3 hotkeys:
    1. for the renaming menu so you can access it.
    2. for rename all ships and station with the Defaults
    3. for rename the current playership target
    You can find the hotkey under Options->Controls->Interface, it has no keybinding as default.

    There are 2 AL-Plugins
    1. RSwE Dynamic Naming
    2. RSwE Automatic Naming

    There are 26 RSwE commands available in Custom menu:

        or less often. 1 Interval is 5 seconds, the default interval is 12 so 60 seconds.
        the shorter the interval the more it is likely that RSwE will cause hicups or lags
        if you experience these try raising the interval.

        This will let you set, after how many cycles DN will recollect all DN-Ships/stastions

    16. Reset Formation ID's
      This option will reset the ID's of all formation and force RSwE to setup all
      formation ID's new, this help if you formed and dismissed a few formations
      and the ID's are not more continuous
    17. Seperate Wings from Formations
      This option will seperate wings from formations, that means Wings will get their
      own greek letter, but wont be counted in other formation, even they would be
      for example gold wing is protectiong the player ship but the gold wing will
      appear to be in a different formation.
    18. Toggle Greek letters nonary system for Formation IDs
      this option will use the nonary numbers system composed of
      greek letters for the Formation ID's used in *FP

      Summarized or Seperated Display
    23. Seperate Formation Index per Depth
      β01-09 γ01-13 instead of β01-09 γ10 - 23
    24. Deaktivate the custom Edit Menu
      If you don't like or can't control the Edit Menu use this option
      to turn it OFF
      note before confusing if this option is ON the Edit Menu is OFF
      if this option is OFF the Edit Menu is ON
    25. RSwE Menu does not trigger Autopilot
      If this option is ON RSwE will use an Exception to bypass
      the Autopilot activation, but the RSwE must close to
      have the effect
    26. Help
      Short help sent into your incoming messages.
      You have to close your command console to trigger the sending though.
    27. Export Presets to Logfile
      Exports a new T-File with your current presets (ingame Clipboard and Defaults)
      as the logfile log08860.txt located in YOURDOCUMENTS\Egosoft\YOURGAME
      remane this file to 8860-L0XX.xml and move it to YOURGAMEINSTALLPATH\t
      overwrite the current file
      XX is your language code:
      07 - Russian
      33 - French
      34 - Spanish
      39 - Italian
      42 - Czech
      44 - English
      48 - Polish
      49 - German
      86 - Simplified Chinese
      88 - Traditional Chinese
    One note is that while the universe option will rename regardless of state, the
    sector option will not rename docked ships. This can be useful as a way to
    exclude ships that you don't want to rename.

    Note on dynamic renaming:
    The dynamic renaming can be activated and deactivated using the AL menu (in Gameplay
    menu, last option). This function is provided to help you with some expressions that can
    change during your play time, like sector names, skill levels...
    Also note that dynamic names are preponderant on any name you can enter manually.
    Dynamic names must be cleared if you want to enter another static name, using only *DN as name.

    Note on automatic renaming:
    The automatic renaming can be activated and deactivated using the AL menu (in Gameplay
    menu, last option). This function is provided to help you with new build ships, cause they
    will be renamed with the default for that class when this routine cycles.
    It renames every Ship or Station which has not been renamed by RSwE before.

    Note on Locking/Unlocking names:
    if you use *LN in combination with *DN, the locked name will be set in the DN-routine
    and will reset itself if you use *LN or *UL without *DN to the prevoius locked name
    so make sure you either deactivate DN by rename the ship with "*DN"(without quotationmarks)
    and then use *LN or *UL, or use *LN or *UL in combination with *DN!

    You can review the list of expressions anytime by choosing Help option from RSwE menu.

Nonary source
Greek numerals source
    Explanation:
  •  

      A nonary system is a numbering system like our decimal system,
      in our decimal system we have the digits 1-9 + 0
      in a nonary system you have the digits 1-8 + 0
      so in decimal we are counting
      1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ....
      in a nonary system we count
      1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ....

      i needed to use a nonary system cause i had only 24 greek letters
      but for a decimal system i would need 27 letters,
      Each unit (1, 2, …, 9) assigned a separate letter,
      each tens (10, 20, …, 90) a separate letter, and
      each hundreds (100, 200, …, 900) a separate letter.
      the original greek numbering system was decimal, but it had 3 extra
      letters, digamma ϝ for 6, qoppa ϟ for 90, and sampi ϡ for 900.
      but it seemed X3 could not display them as they always appeared blank

    Version-History:
    (Only the last change is listed here for more infos on past versions see the readme file above)
  •  
      v.3.3
    •  
      • Added Rename NPC Ships/stations requested by joelR
        Here you can Rename Ships/Stations belonging to an NPC Race
      • Added NPC Races to DN
      • Added NPC Races to AN
      • Added options to toggle Race for DN
      • Added options to toggle Race for AN
      • Added Category AL-Plugin options to clean up the menu
      • Rewritten Dynamic Naming to reduce Lag and Process Time,
        caused by the amount of ships/stations the NPC races own
      • Added an option to control the interval when DN refreshes
        the DN ship list, the interval is by default 3, means every
        third DN-Cycle, after the first Cycle, DN refreshes the DN
        ship list which takes some time, in addition this feature
        was not added to AN because AN only renames a ship one time
        and after that it skips the ship
      • Added *OR
        Adds the Ships Owner Race - Argon, Terran
      • Added *OA
        Adds the Ships Owner Race Abbreviation - Argon = Arg, Terran = Ter
      • Added Defaults for Argon, ATF, Boron, Goner, Khaak, Paranid
        Pirates, Split, Teladi, Terran, Xenon and Yaki to the T-File
      • Added option to edit NPC-Race defaults ingame
      • Added ingame-edited NPC-Race defaults to Export-To-T-File
      • Changed Edit Default Menu to stay open
      • Changed Edit Clipboard Menu to stay open
      • Changed Edit Wares Menu to stay open
      • Changed all defaults to use *TA instead of *TS
      • Changed *CL to feature Station classes
        most of them are custom class names, since X doesn't
        distinguish Weapon Fatories from Food Factories
      • Changed Station defaults to use *CL instead of *TN
        due to the changes made to *CL
      • Removed *ZN form every default because Autonaming would produce
        duplicate names on long term runs
        example: three times "Argon M3 Nov 28" looks more strange then
        three hundred times "Argon M3 Nov"
      • Changed *TN, *TS, *TA and *TP to filter out the maker race
      • Added ownerless ships default
      • Added Rename Ownerless Ships to Rename NPC Ships requested by Archaryon
      • Added Ownerless ships to AN
      • Added option to toggle Ownerless ships for AN
      • Added option to change Ownerless Ships default ingame
      • Added Ownerless Ships Default to the Export Function
      • Added Comments to exportet T-File
