Edited by: Zyrla Bladestorm on 20/12/2006 03:44:31 I would suspect if they thought it was a good idea and implemented it, they'd probably add it as an outpost management option or similar, with the names submitted getting approved before they went live, also probably once per major patch or per month or something similar so they didn't change too often.
I'm not sure if its a good or bad idea myself.
And afaik the empire system names were mostly randomly generated too, with a once-over to weed out any offensive ones, such as the system "Lust" got changed to "Lustrevik" 0.0 has random names with less meaning because they are just dots on the empire's survey maps. . ----- It's great being Minmatar, ain't it? Apologies for any rambling that may have just occurred.

hummm mixed feelings... on the one hand, there will be chaos... ond the other hand, there'll be a few good ones and as long as it can be named only once a month or so, why not

This is a great idea and I'd say this is really something that should be done. It's so hokey having all these random character system names. I think carefully controlled naming would add immersion rather than take away from it. A few restrictions I'd put on it:
1.) Require an alliance to hold sovereignty over a system for an extended length of time, say 3-12 months. We wouldn't want this ability tossed around willy-nilly, we want it to mean something. We also don't want systems being renamed constantly.
2.) Require a very large fee to name a system, like 5-50 billion, so that doing it isn't something done without thought.
3.) Liberal oversight by CCP in order to keep system names "in character". I trust CCP to be discerning enough to know whether a name will fit in the Eve universe or not. Since this will be such a rare event with also a huge added expense, it shouldn't be too much administrative work. There will be an initial flurry of namings when it's first added, but after that it should be a slow trickle.
4.) Optional idea. If a system is held for an extended period of time, say 12-36 months, make the name permanent. Truly allow people to leave a lasting mark on the game by leaving their names intact if they hold the system for long enough.
Overall I think this would add a lot to the game's atmosphere.

Yes, 'cause that's not a truly ghey name for a system or a city for that matter.

"San Antonio" is problematic, but calling the idea "ghey" is not an issue... this presages difficulties if players start naming systems.

that got renamed and ***ar didn't? hahaha it even gets filtered. g.a.y.a.r
if players could name systems then there would be a lot of crap like Il1l1 and 1lIIl and 1IlII next to each other, and other font abuse with 0/D/O 6/G 8/B etc.
if people want to name something, they can build an outpost.

Like in RL. Each and every new mayor renames the city. Each new prime minister or president changes the country's name.
Pod pilots are a minority. The majority of people live on those little baubles in space some people call planets - and in space stations. --*=*=*--

Originally by: General Xerxes As long as the names are censored by CCP like they check Alliance logos it'd be fine. Perhaps the name would be permanent so we wouldn't have constant name changes confusing people.
This was my first thought... I like the idea overall and would like to see all systems with "proper" names someday.
Perhaps an application to CCP, reason behind the name, checking to make sure it isn't too closely matched with any other system names. And there you go
The system name should remain permanent, once changed, though... heh, might even give alliances reason to fight over otherwise "useless" constellations. --- I'd post with my main, if I wasn't a spy in your corp |

/signed, with the condition that they have to get it cleared by GMs first.
It wouldn't take that long, they get a petition saying "please change P3-N1S to Dracule" for example - if the GMs think it doesn't fit in with the game's naming scheme, say "BoB 12", or is offensive, they can deny it.
*shrugs*, probably best to wait until we have more GMs to cope with it if we went that route.

Good idea. great for adding Atmosphere / bragging rights to the game.
Impossible to impliment for all the reasons mentioned above.
The difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong, it usually turns out to be impossible |

Bad idea.
Try again after seeing how much confusion having 20 self-named stations causes, then imagine seeing 200 self-named systems in your asset window.
Not to mention the idiotic names peopel would come up with. Imo, CCP shouldn't have allowed us to name stations in the first place.

Edited by: Wrayeth on 20/12/2006 11:35:05 I like the idea, but only under stringent conditions.
You would either a.) need to have held sovereignty for three months and have a conquerable station/outpost in system, or b.) hold sovereignty over the enitre constellation.
And, of course, all names would need to pass GM review. This should prevent totally ridiculous-sounding names, but should still allow for a modicum of humor. (I wouldn't, personally, be bothered if three systems along the same route were named "Whiskey", "Tango", and "Foxtrot", for instance - none of them sounds ridiculous on its own.) -Wrayeth "Look, pa!

Where's the fun in that? I was looking forward to taking over someone's home system and renaming it Assclown Central. Then they'd have to fight to get sovereignty back to rename it.
wouldn't you be the assclowns then, if you had sovereignity?

Sorry but I think its a bad idea, I find it hard enough thinking of ship names. Also the regular updating on the map of system names would be hard enough to keep up with.
You'd also get silly people naming systems like "*insert corp name* you suck"... etc, so sadly on that note I have to disagree with changing systems names.
Nice idea just too hard to govern and get right

A few conditions and I'll back this idea:People retain the ability to view the original system name somehow so that multiple name changes don't lead to confusion.Alternatively, allow at most 1 change of name per system per month or so.The new names are vetted by a GM or two before becoming visible. --------------------------------------------

I'd personally prefer the GM's or whomever to be working on bigger issues than system names, just would mean another thing in their pile of things to do if they had to check names as well.

Yeah, because the GMs have nothing better to do with their time than check if a system name is in any way offensive.
I like the 5 character system names. I like leaving Y-2AN0, regrouping in NOL-M9 before flying down to TPAR-G. I'd find it pathetic to be leaving "Big Steve's system" to regroup in "OMGROFL" then flying down to "ASCN r teh suckzor!!!!!". Systems are sure to be that pathetically named by some people, judging by the host of stupid named stations we have ingame. Sig inappropriate-not eve related -Abdalion

To be blunt, the player base couldn't be trusted to give systems decent names that wouldn't break Eve's immersion.
The other problem is, like alliance logos, system names could only really be changed during patch times (since checking over 5000 system names for changes each time you load the map would be crazy).
It would be a nice idea but it's not really practical.

Completely agreed.
This idea while good in theory falls to pieces when it reaches the part where the players name the systems. Would be an offensive, useless waste of time/bandwidth imho.
