      Nothing is stopping you from making a mod to change the name of their units if you want to, but I highly doubt it will be officially integrated into FAF if that's what you were asking for.

      Personally, I don't think there's much of a point in giving them human-readable names, it's part of the faction alien flavor.

        Yeah, agree. While it's a cool idea for a mod I doubt it would ever get approved and be integrated into FAF directly.

            @melanol Albeit yes, Sera units are unpronounceable, I enjoy keeping their alien names because they are the alien faction.

              I think this can be done with a UI mod - that would allow you (and others) to use it individually. I am against integrating this as people are used to the current names: if a casters says 'Ilshavoh' then we all know what the caster means.

                  Seraphim names are pronounceable just fine and already have a pattern and logic behind their language.

                    Most of the Seraphim unit names can be pronounced, it’s just that a few share rather similar names

                    People just say stuff like “ASF” instead of “Corona” or ”Wasp” or ”Battleship” instead of ”Summit” or ”Galaxy” anyways

                    put the xbox units in the game pls u_u
