I live in 0.0. I *like* living in 0.0. The plentiful, bounteous rats, the high-end minerals, the cap ships and dictor bubbles and nano blobs and alliance politics - I love it all. There is, in fact, really only one thing I don't like about living la vida lowsec:
The darn random-character system names.
I understand the reasons for it -- there are so many of them it's just not practical for the devs to name them all. But I think it would be really cool if people could propose names for the systems they frequent on a first-come, first-served basis. The rules would be as follows:
1. To propose a name for a system, you must be in that system. 2. The name must be under a certain length (whatever the current system name field length is, presumably). 3. The name must not be obscene/offensive (pass it through the forum censor or whatever before accepting it). 4. The name must be unique.
This could be automated, and it'd be neat for those of us with explorer tendencies to get out there and REALLY name the stars. Plus it would add a whole lot of color to those dry and boring 0.0 system names. :)

Just change the numbers in either syllables or letters(from leet speak) and add vowels to the results until you can pronounce them.
No need to use a complicated process of people proposing names, reviewing them and applying them that'd only result in cheese and idiocy really.

Isn't naming your station enough?

Yes, I'm sure that we wouldn't have 500 systems in EVE named after **** stars or phallus's. ---------------- Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.83 (Updated 7/3) |

Bad idea, CCP will have to police "innapropriate" names all the time. Sometimes you won't get the meaning, but some part of the players will.
Best to not even allow station renaming.

I like the idea, but the devil is really in the details on this one. You want the names to be inoffensive, non-abusive, pronounceable, relatively static, and player-controlled. That is not a trivial combination. I'll support this in principle, to see if anyone can come up with an actual system, but frankly it probably can't be made to work usefully. ------------------ Fix the forums! |
