Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If your alliance have Sov in a system you should be able to change it's name not just the stations inside, but the whole thing. I know the name changes will create navigation chaos that's why we suggest the real system name for example zlz, if you change the name to "Fluff" the name zlz will still stay just like you can name a ship a drake is still a drake. When you see your overview it would be "Fluff", if you info it it will say location name zlz and Sov name Fluff. Fluff will be seen as primary name that you see. Also name changes should be played for like a billion per name so they don't change every 5 minutes and give more incentives to debate on the name as well on Corp/alliance level. If anything the name changes can be done thru a vote in the alliance or Corp

I know i will fight for a named system I like and/or named more so than some number name given by the ccp no offense but they suck . For example. alliance "NYC" has Sov over 5 systems that they named Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, and Manhattan. that Alliance will fight to the teeth for the 5 systems just cause of the personalization and it sounds like home not just some system with a number like a license plate. but just like license plates if you pay a little more you can have it customized to your preference.

a part of me wants it to happen, navigating null is a nightmare

"everyone align to 523-35k or w/e it is.... i rather it be " align to panda bear island"

Sounds good to me. It's quite a powerful thing to be able to name a system.

i really dont think it will truly happen due to fact then EVE would have to make all entire new maps each time a system is taken over for the maps being sold on website.....and also to comindate the ingame search as well which would pull a big draw on the assest server......

not to menthion good lord goons,test,and the other profound idiots out there would make ungodly names....which some could be against tos wouldnt that be nice get changed to a system name delve00001678548 due to a crackhead name the system some stupid name

This is a really bad idea. 1st changing the system name is already going to make it confusing as to where it is you want to travel to. Even if you keep the original name in it you are just making 1 system have 2 names. That is going to confuse the crap out of anyone cause they will have to remember both names for the system still. Also there is a way to "name" your system. Build an outpost and name it. then just simply link the station like you do systems and have every set their ap to it.

I doubt it's going to be confusing once you are used to it trust me, it's just like when they added incursions with fear that people can't play together to fight NPCs on a large scale and yet it happened with good reviews. People were skeptical at first but then it grew on them and many of the players like it. And theres nothing wrong with having a location name with a custom name in one, I mean how confusing can it get I'm sure you are not dumb and can read. I don't get the fear of naming systems and have a little bit of pride in having to name them and inspire patriotism to your systems. I can only imagine how much more effort players would put in on that principle alone to keep their sovereignty and the names of their systems

I don't like the idea that system names would change at all. You can already change the names ot outposts you capture; this should be enough to satisfy those who want to name something fixed on the map. Don't have an outpost? capture one .. or build one.

I quite like this idea actually, I think personalistion should play a much larger part in EVE and this sounds brilliant.

I'm not so sure about a price to limit it, maybe a time limit instead, say around once per month OR once Sov has changed? That would make it a much bigger decision for an alliance than a billion ISK, most of the larger alliances make that easily every few hours.

But I'm totally for this idea, sounds awesome :D

I say players will name them just fine, but that's not the issue is it? The names will have meaning to those who gave it and that's what is important. As for profanity I'm sure CCP will police names the same way your char name is or how you name your Corp/alliance (does not bother me at all). Last time I checked if you play EVE you see all sorts of names good, bad, and even straight up offensive. I like it that way it gives the game life and keeps it going
Oh and as for me personally calling a system for example hpt-89 I'll name it hpt-89(Coney Island) I doubt its as horrible of a name as you make it seem. it might not be in that format and I hope if this idea goes thru CCP will come up with a good way to represent names without the "( )"
You know make it nice
