I quite like the idea of letting corps that have had sov in a system for a long time give it a name, however I think it should be a bracketed attribute, such that the original alphanumeric name remains.

One alternative that I quite like is giving all systems two types of names, a 'real' name and a 'code'. I guess it would be possible to then allow players to choose which appears bracketed or something.

However I do not really see names as a big issue, I would prefer that they spend time updating lore or other essentially aesthetic aspects of the game first.

Are you suggesting so? I'm not. Not that anyone really gives a twit about all that anyways - some people will keep referring to Mumbai as Bombay, and nobody gets confused.
Besides: chill, girl.


yeah, no-one cares at all about all the guides, route planners, blogs, recruitment ads. wikis, or thier own memories. No-one at all.

nope.

No-one.


Get out.


He quite clearly underlined JUST bookmarks, therefore his comment was just aimed at bookmarks. The implication was that it did not belong in the list of things which would not update. However the point another raised about the names we give our bookmarks is a valid one.

Well we all know how irritating it is sometimes not being able to understand which system the FC is ordering the fleet to warp to so I propose that we change the system names to something which is easier to pronounce for the sake of efficiency in the game.

I understand that some of the planets and systems were named after beta testers and I really appreciate their work and would like to take this opportunity to thank them on behalf of entire New Eden. But the reason they beta tested was to make EVE Online better and the way it can be made even more better is to simply change the planet and system names. That is what they would have wanted and that is the best way to honor their memory.


No. There's no reason to have an in-universe game change simply because some FC's aren't imaginative enough to figure out such a simple issue.
