FC : Set Destination to linked System in fleet chat.

FC: Everyone warp to Hof (Hofjaldgund) Gate

Not too hard to work around it.

Or

FC: Everyone warp to Hotel-Oscar-Foxtrot


Not that hard.

Or that,

I'm all for making things easier ... but with multiple languages playing the game, you might cause more problems than you'd solve.

Warp to the first/second/third gate. right click > Stargates > third gate > warp (assuming your overview isn't set up to make this really easy)

Problem solved.

I fully understand your point and it would solve the problem but unfortunately only for mining fleets. In fast fleet action people only have time to use shortcuts to warp quickly. So I am afraid that everyone will still have to support this issue and CCP will still have to urgently change this.

There are other clients than english but the language that the majority of eve players understand is english. Here in Denmark for example people start learning english from 4th grade.

You're lucky... at least your systems have names.

I have little patience for anyone unable to refer to a merely unpronounceable name by the first three letters or whatnot, since that's more or less the only way to refer to systems in null. I'd advise that you simply get used to heading to 'Aitch-Oh-Eff' and whatnot... since in null, it's all stuff like 'Jay-Tac-See' and 'Ay-Wun-Arr'.

Not supported... or, at least, not before names get handed out to the null systems.

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.

So your proposal is to change the names of (presumably) a large number of systems in order to make the game a bit easier for FCs or fleet members?

Names that have been part of the EVE galaxy for, what, 7 years or more?

For me this smacks too much of dumbing down.

Also, the instant obsolescence of seven years worth of documents, blogs, videos, bookmarks, podcasts, notes, and memories. There are a lot of routes I know by heart. Renaming half the systems because some people find them hard to pronounce would mean that I'd have to relearn those routes AND unlearn the old ones that would confuse me.

I still do mind the random names in 0.0 . How about allowing corporations to suggest a name for a system that hasn't got one yet once they have held sov and an outpost in the system for 6 months or more and built some upgrades?
(CCP'd still have to check names for appropriateness)

Most 0.0 players I know are as attached to our system names as highsec players are to Jita.

I'm pretty sure they'd update automatically.

Or the names we give them:

For example, nearly everyone in IRC refers to 4LNE-M as "Four Line". It's not hard to say, and everyone knows what you mean, including the non-native English speakers. E-BYOS is referred to as"eBay" by most of my corpmates, though in alliance fleets it's normally just "EB".

Honestly it doesn't matter what the name is as long as everyone you need to communicate with knows it by that name. Names are an arbitrary human convention. Pick one and stick with it.

Did you think that response through AT ALL? How are they going to autoupdate spreadsheets and youtube videos?

Sorry, I guessed I made the part I was referring to clear by underlining it in your quote. I was lazy and, apparently, wrong.

How does the bookmarks updating fix seven years worth of documents, blogs, videos, podcasts, notes, wikis, guides and memories?

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.
