[0.98.60] Rebirth Slaves need names!

[Pyracles]

I recently organised a mass escape from Rebirth. Seven joined me, but they all have the boring name "Rebirth Slave". Any reason why they cannot have real names? There doesn't appear to be any means in game for me to change their names.

Take them to a surgeon, thieves guild or waystation or uc bar and you can name them.

Yes, I've noticed Plastic Surgeons can rename them. Was wishing the game could save me the trouble of making the long trip to find one, just to change their name.

Was also surprised all the slave in Rebirth appear to be Shek. Considering that Slavemongers are always trying to bring Hungry Bandits and Dust Bandits I knock out to Rebirth, you'd think there would be some human slaves there. However all 7 that joined me were Shek.

So a simple mod could fix this if you wanted to, adjusting race of faction rebirth slave by changing the percentage of each and for the names you find rebirth slave under chracter and where it says named you change that to true and they will generate random names instead of being "rebirth slave".

It might be easier to make a mod that alters the join ai. Expand Dialogue Packages, and under Dialogue find "event slave escaped", for the two branches of the dialogue tree "I'm joining you" and "but I'll fight beside you", just change the effects in the upper right from DA_JOIN_SQUAD_FAST to DA_JOIN_SQUAD_WITH_EDIT. I'm pretty sure that should allow you to customize the name yourself, so you get total control for their names, instead of finding a random name that already exists in your squad or else that you just don't like and you have to go to the surgeon anyway.
