Started anchoring a citadel. Requires "Sysname -" in front of it now?

The last time I deployed a citadel this was not the case. Now I must have the system name with a dash in front of it?

I am all for immersion and what not, but I was honestly going to name it Sysname III - Blah blah blah. Now it's working against me to do what I wanted to do, and I can't even do that.

Why not!?

Need stuff moved? Push Industries will handle it. Serving highsec, lowsec and nullsec - and we do it faster and more reliably than anyone else. Ingame channel: PUSHX

Yeah I don't like it either, especially wormhole citadels. J176524373273463 - "Your Name" Stupid.

What about Sysname - III Blah blah blah?

CCP changed it after a slew of "0 tax here" citadels that were within market trading range of Jita but nobody knew where the hell they were.

Is that true? Because it's freaking hilarious if it is. But, this sounds exactly like the sort of thing that CCP probably should have let players sort out themselves, rather than making a change.

Let's discuss overhauling the way we get intel in EvE.

Before the forced name, finding a citadel's location involved trying to look it up in the Starbase Finder and coordinate where it may be with the map. Needless to say it was an annoyance for people trying to buy stuff on the market, not knowing where their stuff was, and we complained and CCP made the change shortly.

Yes there were citadels named Elysium or "0 tax" or "10% off this Friday only" and other such non-helpful names.

CCP, may we have this changed back please?

It's redundant in the browser.

Yes, it is true. And it was a good decision. Citadel locations are not an API endpoint so it would be extremely difficult to come up with a player-driven solution.

Only way to remove it, really, is to make sure there's an API/destination integration so players can reliably find the destination regardless of the name.
