# Custom Wing Names

Accessed via Custom Wing Names in the Mission Specs dialog.

Overrides the default wing name sets used by the engine. All three sets are independent; changing one does not automatically update the others.

## Starting wing names

The three wings that appear on the pre-mission loadout screen, where players select their ships before the mission begins. Defaults are `Alpha`, `Beta`, and `Gamma`.

## Squadron wing names

The five wings tracked on the HUD squad status display during the mission. Defaults are `Alpha`, `Beta`, `Gamma`, `Delta`, and `Epsilon`. These are independent of the starting wing names. Conventionally the first three match, but the engine does not enforce this.

## Team-versus-team wing names

The two team wings used in multiplayer Team-vs-Team missions. One name per team. The first TvT wing name must be identical to the first starting wing name; the engine enforces this and will error if they differ.
