Battle of Asakai. Cool name, memorable, pretty.

Bloodbath of B r56brdbbrb whatever.....


How much time after a decade of eve online would it take to name all the systems in eve so we can actually have memorable battles?

I would like to propose, either a player vote to name all the null sec and NO NAME systems or that CCP spend, oh I don't know, an hour and finish naming all the systems? Is it really that difficult guys?

Ten years and we still have names like B-R5RB ???? Why? Fix it! Fix it good!

I know there must be thousands of name generators out there plus I know eve has one already in the character creator. USE IT!

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

Awww ****...

Remember last time Darius Johnson let random people name stations...

You dont want to have thousands of systems named something like "Hitler did nothing wrong" or "N*gger cotton field memorial"

This will happen :D

Ofcourse it will and CCP will shoot it down. Let the CSM make the votes.

The CSM is full of people who would do the same crap. Roll And just look at station names in 00 sec, you really quickly get the picture where system names will end up. Let alone, if the sov holder could change names every time the sov changes or against an ISK fee, there would hardly any continuity and this is quite troublesome if you have bookmarks or plan a route.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

Here's an idea, how about we do some of the legwork and start coming up with potential names for systems? That leaves time for CCP to do more important things like fix [insert pressing issue of choice here].

Here's what you do: For each letter of the alphabet, make up a name that starts with it. If you want to do more because you thought of something else that sounds cool, post that too. I'll start. (Disclamer: I only speak English. If any of these are something offensive in some other language, I'm deeply sorry.)

I... kind of agree. I actually like how null systems are named. It really distinguishes them from empire space.

I like the current naming convention, it has that "Ohhh different names...bad places" feel to them.

Leave them be.

So, for those of us who have lived for YEARS with the current system, are we suddenly expected to learn thousands of new system names? And what about the history? People know about the battles in 6VDT, HED-GP, BR5 and the like, they know about the gatecamps in PF-, EC-, M-O, that goons live in VFK, or the history behind Y-2. Rename them and all that is gone. Hell, rename systems like that and I won't even know where my jumpclones are, much less my stuff.

So... which one of those words is the deliberately offensive term from some language I neither speak nor recognise? :P

I somehow neglected to include one. Fortunately, Christopher AET managed to cover the bases for me.

It would be nice if they had a small number tag in the front, then a name at the back.

The system name can be changed by the alliance holding sov, provided it follows the EULA and fits into game lore (i.e. can't call it "Carpetmunch City" nor can you call it "Tokyo").

The numbers are to give it continuity. No matter who holds sov and what the name is, that number is unique to the system and consistent.

EDIT: Perhaps all the names start off chosen by default by CCP. To change a name you must place a request for it... CCP makes sure to the best of their ability it's not phantom racism or anything. Being sneaky with it can result in severe penalties (such as losing all sov).

No just NAME THE SYSTEM, like all the other systems. forget numbers.

And what about the history? Should that all be forgotten? And the residents, should we all have to learn thousands of new names?

Danika has a point. I don't want to have to forget all the systems names I have in my head and remember thousands more. The naming convention is fine as it is. No need for a change here.

Weren't the drone regions named by the player base? That wasn't a total disaster, so it could be done.
