Now, now, the idea is sound. Even if it means that someone is, inevitably going to redirect Asteroid MYNUTZ at your planet at some point.
first of all, since when is rename ctrl+n ? IN WHICH DAMN APPLICATION IS THAT SO?.. just kidding, but seriously how did you think of that? I thought first you meant some kind of using a template with shortcuts or so. (normally ctrl+n is used for "new.." ) anyway, I think it makes not so big sense to be able to rename something in the game when you are able to get a name for a unit or planet..
this is one of these cases where one makes an argument for a feature and delivers directly a great use case why it's a bad idea.
Unless I'm mistaken, that's what Supreme Commander used. And seriously guys? Where are your funny bones? The OP has outlined the very reason why naming units and planets must exist.
I'd love to have such feature! The default planet name can be one that is drawn from the name pool, but we could still have the options of renaming it if we wish to. (I am a 250$ tier backer and I wouldn't mind such feature)
It was funny in SupCom when you renamed one of your support commanders to your regular name, and then renamed your real commander to . or something. Good luck sniping that you "%&#ยค! :ugeek: :lol:
Don't make it a standard feature, but maybe a UI mod. That way, those players that really want to rename their worlds can do so, and the rest would be unaffected.
aaw.. I used to love renaming experimentals! Not even after my junk. Such a simple thing, this must happen.
I would totally name my asteroids. "Mostly Harmless", "We Come In Peace", or the classic "HELLO WORLD". :mrgreen:
Agreed. Additionally, you should be able to select another player and "adopt" the names they use, so that you can talk beneficially with allies (or, see what your enemies names for things are?) On second thought, this interfaces with networking, and may need to be a standard feature to work. Not sure how extensive the UI mod architecture will be.
This is hilarious. I for one would get a real kick out of it. If my opponent took the time to make me laugh this would make for a fun ending, even if I was the one being crushed. Please implement this.
I'd love an asteroid naming system, but tbh I think planetary naming should stick with the list, especially since I'd make my $185 pledge a bit useless if nobody'll ever see my chosen name anyways!
