I (Rovaniemi Koivula my main CMDR) happened to stumble on a system named Omega Sector VE-Q B5-15 on my way back from Colonia to Bubble (when taking part to that Colonia expansion CG to try and get my corporation there).
It looked such lovely system in just lovely place nicely between bubble and Colonia... Red M-star and a watery planet with life, tidally locked one side towards the star..
Naturally scanned them and bookmarked planet/system, it even passed my mind that when my lovely (but very ill) mom passes on, I come there to just watch that star sitting at that planet to remembrace her (even Koivula on my CMDR´s name is her maiden name, so I also kinda explore to get her name to stars).
Now that system has some mining colony, and star+planets were named according to other CMDR´s "first discovered" names (obviously system were modified and after that all previous exploration were resetted there, I kept in my long-jump range Anaconda both Advanced and surface scanners on my hauling trips also, and then I even came later with alt explorer to explore rest of the planets/moons on that system, so i´m 99% sure reason were not that I explored system well enough).
Not that I really would wanna complaint about something like this when you guys are doing fantastic job and propably very busy with other issues, but it kinda made me sad that place I found for my mom (Pirjo) now has no other mark to remark that but just one of my own bookmarks, and nobody else will notice...
So, in short, could we pretty please keep original "discovered by" names at (all) systems. stars and planets, no matter how those systems are settled and changed?
I understand making a asteroid base might have forced you to change a lot of code and so on, and thus original discovery names did not stick there like in so many other settled systems before?
Or is it some Colonia vs. Bubble thing, that in Colonia route first discoveries get reset when system is eventually settled?
Hope not, getting our CMDR´s (/real even if possible someday) name on (some very nice) a settled system (either outpost/first discovery) is what keeps us explorers going, partly [yesnod] .
