Anyone know why we can't rename ships without being in them first? Bit of a pain in the arse.

dunno maybe because effecting the ships can only be done when you active in them
all honesty is it that hard to wait 30 sec to change through your ships

Signed. I want to leave some note in the name field of my ships that don't have modules equipped. My hangar houses a vast squadron of T1 frigates and such, barely any of which have anything fit to them. Being able to change names without switching over to that ship would be FTW.

Actually I'm sure I've read that they are actually working on the 30 second thing. Though if they are that is probably a while off.

As long as it still takes 30 seconds to undock after you first dock up I don't think anyone would need to whine. That's not to say they WON'T whine, but okay.

It is when you have 60 ships in your hanger and renaming them all to take your name out for pvp would take you 30 minutes...

any sailor will tell you, it is bad luck to change a ship's name....
once I set a name, it stays. If I have to package one for moving it, the identical name goes back on once I reassemble it.

According to my understanding of the Database calls, (based on LaVistaVista's interview in WDA Podcast).
The reason u must be active in a ship to affect it, is because otherwise a high skilled player could Fit a ship for a lowskill player and it would work, IE: T2 launchers on a noob's caracal.
So they built the system to only allow u to effect a ship u are in, and when u aren't the pilot's skills dont effect the ship any longer. also without the timer if u were able to hop from ship to ship instantaneously it would greatly increase the calls to the Database resulting in massive lag... Imagine if ur sitting in Jita, fitting rifters for cheap tacklers to dispense to pilots that got popped, and throwing them into your carrier's maintenance bay.... But ur hopping through 20 of em in a few minutes and making DB entries and calls over and over and over again, while 300 other pilots are doing similar things in Jita because most people only go to jita to either sell, or buy and fit something new.
Now this wouldn't just effect lag in Jita, but also be used once it was noticed. You would see certain swarming alliances, put 200 people in a station constantly hopping in and out of ships in their hangar, slowing the DB down with 100's of calls and also the system, it's constellation and probably everything on that particular node.
This is all an assumption but and educated one based on things i've heard about EVE's architecture, and my own knowledge on system design so I may very well and probably be wrong. But from what I've heard from CSM reps and devs, the DB is the way it is and isn't going to be changed becuase it would be a major overhaul of the whole Game's Functionality and System... the ideology being if it isn't ectremely broke then we shouldn't fix it, and I tend to agree as pretty much any DB redesign would probably cause losses to players of their assets and etc... I would be quite unhappy to login and find a Capital or Faction BS or my favorite inty that hasn't died in two years, missing.

Repackage them? Unless you have 60 rigged, insured ships with no fittings.
Then the last problem you have is the 30 second timer

because if people could change the name of 50 ships within 30sec it would create DB lag.. Same reason you can't switch ships without waiting 30 sec.

I would like to rename my ship. I an not at battleships yet, but I bought one cheap from someone and it has there name on it still. So everytime I look at my ships I see that one and say uggghhh! Gotta train those skills...!
It would be nice to just rename it. But maybe it would be even nicer when you buy a ship through a contract the name goes to the default. The 30 second timer thing does not bother me. I think of it as I am taking a shi*ter break or walking up to the bridge. No I'm not an RP'r.

But...you could always rename them when you take them into use?

I'm pretty sure we used to be able to do this. I may be wrong, but I think this is a recent "feature".
