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?
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!

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.
