    [FEEDBACK] Xeno names now show up as (CASTE - MATURITY).

    Title. I need some feedback on this before I go through with it:

    https://gitlab.com/cmdevs/ColonialMarines/issues/6085

    Discuss.

    Probably gonna make it show up as "Sentinel (Mature) (420)" or something but that looks unwieldy. Open for more naming order suggestions.

    Or you can change the order to CASTE NUMBER MATURITY

    So you get

    SENTINEL 420 (MATURE)

    With this you get the number in a spot that doesn't get rearranged because maturity has a lot more varying word length with young being 5 letters but mature, elder/elite, ancient being 6 and lastly 7 letters which could shift the number placement slightly plus as a ghost on a list you would see the number first, thus identifying which xeno it is from the list easier.

    I personally prefer the current MATURITY - CASTE - NUMBER system, as it flows together much more to see that you're an Ancient Warrior, rather than just a random Warrior with (Ancient) tagged onto the end. One seems like you're actually powerful, the other makes it seem like you're just a random hostile NPC.

    But if you're really going to change it, CASTE - NUMBER - MATURITY would be the way to go.

    Should probably keep the same stuff, or do CASTE - NUMBER (MATURITY) like the 2 above have said.

    I personally like the way it flows right now.

    I think if we did that only Xenos should be able to see the strain by examining said Xeno

    I prefer the current system. Could you use a different sorting system for the hive status itself?
