A small change.

Awhile ago stargates were named "Stargate system". Players pointed out having the word Stargate there was using up valuable screen space. The result is CCP dropped it. But the result is stargates and systems have the same name. A stargate is not a solar system! But I do not want to add something that uses up a large amount of screen space. Whats the smallest change that could be made to make a gate name different from a system name? Add the character > in front of the system name. That character is also part of the symbol used in the Selected Item window for the Jump button.

Advantage: I think this would make it a little faster when looking at a cluttered overview to find the gate you want.
Disadvantage: CCP Punkturas would have to muck about in the code for a bit.
Disadvantage 2: Merely suggesting it stirs up trolls. Actually making the change stirs up more.
