I have added two new features to the Suggestions page (available on the left menu of the website).

1. NPC/stock vehicle builds. You nominate one of your own vehicles as a template for a wilderness or stock track build.

2. NPC wilderness vehicles names. You suggest vehicle names for use by NPC gangs in the wilderness. When enough of these have been collected, we'll move away from having build-based names, and select from this list instead. This should make NPCs a bit less predictable.

Sweet! Not knowing what the other vehicle have would be pretty cool. You could also build in a specialization that can "guess" what that barrel sticking out of the hood may be.

Hi Sam... Are we suggesting names by chassis or generic names? Would be nice to do them by vehicle type to make them appropriate but this may involve more work?

Shame to lose the specifics.. Heat stroke, wurzel etc

But I guess this helps introduce vehicles later.

Not to sound cheesy but I name all my cars after famous horses, mostly from the US old "wild" west, but that's just my theme.

Maybe the name scheme could be based on a gang's theme?

Yeah, that sounds like my cars after a bad scout. Three Wheels-a-Hobblin, The Wind Blows Through the Holes, and My New Convertible.

Yes, except we would need many hundreds of names to make this work.. is that realistic?

Themed for gangs would be a great idea

Already working on a list ;-)

Sam,
Is this technically feasible? Can you tie a list of names to a particular gang or do they all pull from a common list? I don't to waste everyone's time if this is not possible in the first place.

Yes, it's easy to implement.
Since I have already received a bunch of car name suggestions, what I'd do if we decide to make gang-specific names is to have most names marked as 'common' and others as 'specific to gang X'
