Questionably named fleet carrier

noruzenchi86 · Apr 28, 2022

I found a user's fleet carrier with a name that doesn't sound like it fits in with the game's Teen rating. Can I report it to Frontier? Someone linked me the issue tracker but all issues created are publicly displayed and I'm pretty sure that's just for technical issues with the game.

edit: It's in the Social button on the pause menu, thanks!

I believe you can report it from the game main menu, or contact Support via the Frontier website.

Yeap, report it from the ingame menu (the issue tracker is mostly a bug hall of fame - bugs get there for their moment of shine and not to get fixed)

I could live 1000 years and I'll never understand what is wrong with some people. You saw a bad word, life is too short. Get over it. And now I'm wasting my time replying but it really irritates me.

Oh nah wholeheartedly agree. But there's a time and place for it, and this space videogame isn't it.
I'd rather the game maintain its integrity than to let filthy people trash it.

Wouldn't it just get asterisked out like dubious ship names?

They usually do.
I once had one of my carriers getting asterisked for using a name that was an obscure reference/praise of an woman's behind (something like great arxe baby), with the mention that it was done in my own native language. And it was still asterisked :/

With the profanity filter on most do. But some CMDRs are really creative in putting awfully named things in space.

As opposed to FDev getting some really questionable names on the NPCs out there?
Or allowing some really not-fitting PMF Names?

Not like i object, nope, no objection from me, but sometimes it does feel like double standards

Not if you are creative.

Its even dafter in the context of ED. Murder? Slavery? Tourism-driven prison economies? Sure man. Just no naughty words please!

Have not seen that myself.

I am referring to racism//orc/etc related 'naming'

I can see it now. "Fiddlesticks! System security have scanned my cargo hold and regrettably have discovered that it is full of slaves and narcotics. Now they've started shooting at me and this is really not on. Have at you porcine animals!"

My man, the guy was just asking how to report. You didn't have to reply at all. As you said, life's too short.

I couldn't never figure out why my FC "The Invisible Hand" was always asterisked when I logged in on Xbox.
