    I was thinking a bit more of this but I believe "Trade" and; "Create" or "Design" are 2 concepts that are very hard to mesh together into one word so maybe we could have 2 seperate entities:

    -One in charge of trading, selling, buying, auction, transaction functions

    -One in charge of creating, modding, designing, tweaking functions

    this not only for stylistic or naming sakes but also an idea for dividing in 2 big classes the "shop", also there can be farther sub-categories for each one:

    e.g.: maps, units, unit skins, UI mods, balance mods, etc...

    anyway as for some naming concepts (which are redundant to the post's motif) I'll describe a few because I'm not sure what kind of "feel" we're going for here:

    -There is the Foundry, Forge, Factory, Laboratory, Industrial kind of thing with the idea of a macro, meta-structure where all info, designs, schematics, blueprints are born, and then processed and materialized into whatever object they'd become

    Like said above this boosts imagination for the creative aspect of a "workshop" but doesn't really give a feeling of implication for: Trade, market, auction-house, bazaar... kind of thing.

    -The other idea would then be a similar "structure" but rather than something like a solid, mysterious, somewhere out in-space building for trading, it should be more like a galactic trading network, or a galaxy wide web.

    So since commanders are out in the field something like an updating system that is coded into each commander's core and said component connects them to the universal market trade matrix (opens up the programs trade window) which will be the "virtual mall" for players to buy and sell all their stuff.

    Warning!: Most of these naming concepts are mainly staging fictional setting for the program and not necessarily imply a practical employment of the software for the purposes required.

    TL;DR: separate the program into: Trading Space Network and Quantum Robotics Labs!!! (Naming ideas implied!!)

    You could take a page out of KotOR and call it the "Star Forge"

    Blatantly stole the name from rorschachphoenix's thread titled that.

    Thought it'd be cool to mix the Uber Logo with the PA build-effect seen in the last Live Stream. And continued my infatuation with Theta.

    Guys... I really like Nebula and Laboratories (Labs.)

    And then I realized we could link them seamlessly. :D

    Nebula + Labs = Nebulab (I'm sure there's a better form than that, but I suck at that, hehe... :oops: )

    I am also of the opinion that it should not have Uber as part of the title. I don't want the word to be overused... :?

    Uber Laboratory seems to have a strong following. I think it's my #1 right now for a number of reasons.
