What is this?
As people pointed out on steam, the game actually favours dudes over ladies when spawning human crew, due to many more male names being present in the game files. For example its extremely unlikely to "roll" a Kestrel with three ladies, while an all-dude Kestrel is pretty common. It is of course possible to customize crew and change the sex yourself, but the described game behaviour also causes fewer ladies to appear in the entire gameworld, like for example in shops or aboard ships you encounter. This mod equalizes the rates at which human guys and gals appear in the game by evening out the amounts of possible names for each.
New names it is?
Yep, this is also a quite extensive names mod at the same time, containing about 500 new names for sisters and bros. One thing to consider when making this was that all the other factions will also spawn with the new names, regardless of which human sex they would normally apply too - But I wanted to avoid spawning a lot of aliens that have familiar human names which are associated with certain a particular sex. What to do about that?
My base assumption was that a lot of people that play FTL are English native speakers, so I used mostly names that do not originate from that language.
In a perfect world it would be possible to selectively create name lists for each faction, with custom names based on fictional languages for each. But as this is impossible, "foreign" human names are the best thing I can do right now. Well, at least without writing up hundreds of fictional generic alien names myself, but I'm definitely too lazy for that. I instead relied on this site
