Description

Currently, as far as I'm aware, 'Hide Ship Name' only hides the name in the targeting box and as a message sender (where it uses the class instead). I think it would be reasonable to extend it to as many different fields where a name is mentioned as possible. I don't have an exhaustive list of all those cases off the top of my head, but a target's orders (shown directly above the targeting box), what a target is docked with (also shown there), and the escort list are all easy examples of where that functionality should be extended to.This would, of course, have to be judged on a case-by-case basis, as system messages from cheats are a good example of where the name should NOT be hidden (similar reasoning is probably why # is ignored by them)
