Custom station naming - is it instant or Thursday tick?

[Rock Hunter]

I'm not sure if it's random/luck, down to the name potentially sounding dodgy, a queue for checking or if the type of station makes a difference (but it seems not from what others have said.)

I used ARX to rename my Outpost and it went through immediately. I then used ARX straight afterwards to rename my Coriolis and was given a message saying it will change in around 5 days ( I can't remember the exact times and didn't screenshot it.)

Well, not sure... Inara still shows Piper's Port O' Call as Brunel Hub [Col 285 Sector ER-J b23-7]... It's been 6 days... The scaffolding is still up, wonder when that will come down... Maybe when the they begin selling custom skins for Arx?

Perhaps an ARX renaming is instant if every word is in a whitelist, and held for review otherwise?

Or perhaps review happens if it triggers the famously-overeager blocklist used for ship names, where eg. "Marthel Landing" would be flagged for having the word "hell" in it.

Are we going to end up with a load of settlements named after body parts just like carriers?

I look forward to docking at cleavage terminal or spaff horizons

I just surveyed all my constructions, and the only one (of four) where naming had a delay until next-weekly-tick was the system's initial primary port, and that delay applied whether the renaming was Arx or random. So perhaps it is the colonization-system's primary-port that is on the weekly tick and everything else is instant?

Does this align with other people's anecdata?

(Regarding the other issue, I just now purchased an Arx name on a construction with no renaming delay, and it went through without issue)
