📋 About This Mod
Description
Fixed and IMPROVED version of the Longer Ship Outpost and Item Names, which is currently abandoned. The mod increases the maximum name length allowed for Outposts, Ships and Items.
In the original mod, renaming of Items never worked because items have a second length check, that allows only 26 characters.
I've found the second check, made the mod update resistant, it supports all versions since release and I even made an ASI Loader version, for people who are playing the GamePass version of the game.
