Hi,

Is it intended behaviour that more than one signature in the same system are using the same first three characters?

E.g.

HND-118
HND-849

It would be nice to know if it is a bug or intended as the likes of Siggy will need to make minor changes to accommodate this. (Currently only the first 3 characters are recordable)

Just start using the last three numbers when this happens until it's figured out.

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

First time I see/heard of that. Didn't know it was even possible...

Because prior to changes they reset on downtime so it was a lot less likely.

a long time ago I was in a c5 with a c3 static, this happened a few times, that was back in 2010. Its a 6 digit randomly generated number, so yes you will often have the first 3 be the same. you could even have the first 5 be the same
