Can I rename a system?

No, you can't rename stuff in the star catalogues. You can however add a bookmark to the system and give it funny names.
I'd love to know how FDev decided on some of these names. I figure the annoying ones like Eoul Prous-blah blah blah are probably computer-generated, but where did they get names like Aasgaa or Kuwemaki or Acokwus? It looks like someone shined a laser pointer on a keyboard and let a cat play on it.
Probably still taken from FE2 or FFE. I remember many unusual names there...
Yea i hope they will add something like that to in the future sort of like the submission forum for creating the minor faction. i am leader of a group myself https://inara.cz/wing/2194/
Thank you.
I still think that it could be nice to customize a system if you create a minor faction. You rename the system, choose where you want your station and what type of station. Whatever, thank you for answers
But all you are doing in creating a minor faction in the game. No system belongs to you, nor do any stations. Nor do you ever own the faction. You are still an independent pilot.
well if you are founder of a minor faction you should be able to change whatever you want with the system that the minor faction will control if they control the system they are in and others

The trouble with players naming things is the general immaturity/lols factor.
I am sure you are a fine, mature individual who would resist the temptation, but others? I'm not so sure.

But when they start, they start at the bottom and have nothing. So what would, in the game, give then the right to name anything?
And what if they lost a station or a control of a system, do the new owners get to rename everything? an you imagine the mess with systems and stations change name all the time.
Elite does not have player own anything beyond your ships. This is not EvE.

The other issue is there are people that have spent hundreds if not thousands of pounds in charity auctions to name systems/stations/planets etc. Others have gotten the privilege by tirelessly adding content, providing youtube videos and generally helping/marketing the game in a huge way.
By making this part of the game for free to anyone who found a faction (or anything really) it's a bit of a 2 fingers up to those who put the time/effort/money in before.
Yes it'd be nice but on top of the usual "can't trust players to name things sensibly" there's a few more aspects to it.

You are not the founder, creator, or anything like that. Essentially look at it like this, you are suggesting that for Role Playing reasons at a faction should be created for you and others to interact with and thats it. The minor faction is just as autonomous as every other faction out there.
thats why i suggested making something like the submission forum for the minor factions https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/241826-Player-Groups-and-Minor-Factions-Submission-Form-and-Information/page71?highlight=Minor+Factions+Submission+Form+Information so they can decline or approve who ones they think are appropriate
"when they start..." when they take control of the system its very rare that a minor faction will lose power at least from what i have seen

Makes sense maybe they could limit it to those who have donate/spent extra money on the game then should have lol

But i am founder of it view https://inara.cz/wing/2194/ and i have suggested it to be placed in game as a real minor faction
anymore arguments?
You can call be the 'founder' of your group but not the 'owner' of a faction.
You work FOR them.
They don't "DO" what you tell them to. They respond to your activities. But they respond to EVERYONE's activities. If you have a player group with some base level of credibility (in that it can be verified that you exist) and you are prepared to wait a few months - you can get a faction put in game with your chosen name on it.
But it is not "your" faction. You can't "DO" things with it.
You can only do things "FOR" it. You might be able to stop me from joining your group. But you can't stop me from supporting your faction.
This is at the core of the difference between EVE and Elite.
