I've enjoyed trying to figure out where some of the port names came from myself. I considered putting an area in the museum where the ports are all listed and people can post their thoughts on where the names come from.

I was thinking about putting a few of my favorites in here to see who can figure them out, but with google and wikipedia, that's too easy. So let's turn this around... I'll give a description and let's see who can provide the port names.

1) Three port names taken from Star Wars
2) Three port names taken from Star Trek
3) Three port names taken from Tolkien's works (not the author's name)
4) Three port names taken from Dune planets
5) Three US presidents
6) Three scientists
7) A port named for a classical piece by Strauss used in an early sci-fi film.
Two ports named for a well-known Japanese film director (one first name, one last name).
9) Any reference to the Doctor Who series
10) Any dinosaur

To make it interesting, the first person to complete this quest will have either their game name or real name added to the port list (whichever I feel is most appropriate). Good luck!

Holy crap

I'm sure you have a list of port names to work from, but I still expected it to take awhile before someone got all these. Nice work!

What's cool is there's so much variety in the port names that most of your answers weren't the ports I had in mind. But they're correct nonetheless.

Well, I think Oso is a great port name. If you'd like your last name instead, let me know. I'll be posting a new update in a day or two as a quick bug-fix build, so I'll get it in with that release.

Ok, it's in.

For bonus points, unscramble this port name:

noltpigosh

I don't think anybody will get this one Even with the aid of a computer...

I'm even more impressed by your knowledge of the trivial and inane if you figured these out from memory

Oso it is.
