I notice only 1900 has the option to start with historic budgets, is this feature planned to be added to the other starts? I always played with this on in RTW2. Thanks!

There is no such option for other starts of game as you get bunch of old ships at start.
You can see from start that only some of ships are really modern and that most ships are already obsolete. This is realistic.
But player would not design and build absolete ships himself. ;-)

I helpled myself with adding more names into the shipname file, but it is still tedious sometimes.  |

Not the classes and the ships will be set to wrong classes as well.

This is not difficult too, but you need it to be done outside the game. If you need to rename class AAA to BBB, it should be enough if you open bcs file and DesignFiles0 and rename all occurencies of AAA to BBB.
You need only be certain of one thing that no other nation use name AAA. If it does use it you need to rename AAA to BBB in your bcs file only for your ships. For that purpose notepad works fine.
note: make backup first, sometimes files can be opened as UTF8 which is not. In that case if you save file with UTF8 you can have messed names which use characters outside ASCII.

This is realistic. But player would not design and build absolete ships himself. ;-) There is a solution for that, though it would require a lot of work (need to add new techs for 1870 and 1880 for starters). *20-25% of the budget must be spent on designs using 20 year old techs *45-55%% of the budget can be spent on ships that use 10 year old techs *The remainder can be spent on new build ships. Could also play with the percentages according to the time frame. |

Have to look, if I find the mentioned files. Not a very comfortable solution, though. |
