I recently had one of those "What the hell is going on" moments in the game. I had some stuff in Illuin that I wanted to pick up for a while. I was trying to remind myself to do it every time I log in to the game for a couple of days until I wasn't feeling lazy enough to delay it for next time.
Anyway, I decided to log in specifically to pick the stuff up. So, I typed Iluin in the search, clicked set destination and off I was, traveling semi afk (just jumping manually) while reading the forums. I've entered the destination system and the weirdest thing happened.
Usually when I arrive in a system where I have to pick up something, I just open the Assets window and dock in whichever the station is listed in the "Solar system" tab. There was no station listed there.
I thought, OK... that's strange. Went to the "All items" window just to confirm and there it was - Illuin with listed items that are supposed to be there. Right click... no "Dock"... just "Set destination"
So, OK... it must be a bug. Lets see if I can find it in the overview.... Nope... no stations there!?
Ok, my overview got bugged, "obviously". I'm opening my overview settings and looking for stations. They sure are checked.
The next step... open the system info to find a station there. It's Iluin... check... it's Metropolis region... check... scroll down to celestial list to find stations... nope. There were no stations in this system at all. I was starting to become a bit worried for my mental health at this point.
I typed Iluin, set destination to Iluin, arrived at Iluin, but I was not in Iluin? Twilight Zone moment already kicked in a minute or two ago and it was quickly turning into "This is getting weirder and weirder" situation Johnny Bravo style.
I've finally opened Dotlan looked at the connecting gates and found out that I ended up in ILUIN and that my destination system should have been ILLUIN from the beginning.
It might not be the most entertaining story on the forums, but after what I've experienced there for a couple of minutes I just felt the need to share it with someone. o.0 |

You know you can set destination from the assets tab right?

Having multiple pages of items listed in the assets window, it's faster for me to just type the system name than to scroll and search for it in the list

Seems someone beat me the the assets window already. Then you might want to double check the system name before you start flying to it. |

Maybe you and I are looking at different asset windows or something. No way typing is easier than "right click, set destination". |

And the option to expand and collapse the items list in each system/station also. |

Inaro & Inari are fun too And they're close together! There's some more of those near-similar ones that can get you ending up somewhere else then your intended destination..

And where I live, Providence, there's two systems that start with "TU", two systems that start with "AY", and two systems next to each other "R3" and "X-R3". Needless to say it's confusing for new players. I feel whoever decided on system names or created the generator for nullsec system names was a cruel, cruel individual.

Ahh, but often using the solution to the problem allows you to extrapolate the exact nature of the defect more quickly and precisely... thereby avoiding re-inventing the wheel (so-to-speak) in your troubleshooting process.

A good read, would read again. +1
Iluin / Illuin Mod / Amod Bille / Balle Eba / Ebo / Eha Ossa / Osaa Ekura / Eruka etc... Dangerously similar names indeed. But actually most of them are quite far away from each other except Mod -> Amod.
Still, fantastic names.

Especially after arriving in system you find all of the Celestial objects now have a different system name.
