Naming Trade Stations?

Post by AcePalarum »

Okay, silly little question, but I can't seem to find the answer by searching. I built a trade station (mostly to see how the process works), and it wound up named StarPort (string of numbers).

How exactly do you name a trade station? I saw the "Enter Name:" prompt when I hovered on Trade Station on the Build menu, but couldn't figure out for the life of me how to actually enter a name. Little help?

Naming Trade Stations?

Post by SeeJay »

Hi and welcome.

When you hover your mouse over the Build button, leave it there and type the name. Then click on build!

If you build it as a clan station (in MP) include the clan tag in the name. [CLAN] StationName

Good luck! ;)

What Seejay said.....

Also as an aside - I also use a naming convention for my stations.
I use a name starting with the System name (or abreviation) plus my desired name.
Examples:
Olympus Marlowe
Olympus Sayers
Orion Marlowe 1
Orion Marlowe 2
TC Marlowe (for Talison Conflict)
Tal Marlowe (for Talison system)

That way I know for certain where I built them - especially if I have "added" then to the Nav Map list.
