Renaming system

Is there anyways to rename a system?

Yes, in a way. You can change the names in the System.TXT to whatever you wish. The game will use that list when naming the systems.

You can name Planets, Ships, Fleets, and designs whatever you want, but not systems.

You can use the map editor, but that won't affect a game in progress.

I wondered about renaming systems too.

I feel we should have the option to change the name of a system. Like the player who "occuppies" the system with a ship or colony has the right to change the name. If contested, (such as each player has a ship in the system or one with a colony and another with a ship)then neither has the right to change it. Claiming a system has no effect, someone must be there alone.

Hmmmmmmmm...

Probably better if the player had to have a colony and was alone in the system with no enemy colonies/ships there...otherwise we may have mass changes of names....
