Fdev let explorers name some of our finds

[Robert Graham]

Topic kinda says it all but it would be nice is Fdev would let those of us who go deep out into the black and bring back first finds etc to you know occasionally name them as a reward, I'm not saying every item but when say a water world or a Gaia world etc (eg one that would be colonisable) etc is found if your the first to return with the data it really should be that until the time that some one colonises it you name it.

I mean that's how it works by and large in reality look at all the places around the world most where given names by those who first mapped them.. it would give something a little more substantal then the 'first discovered by' tag and yes I know there will be those going 'but thats not fair because the kickstarters had to pay to name x'..

Yeah within the Habitable bubble.. where people will likely see it.. what are the chances of people seeing NGC 1999 Sector FB-X C1-0 2 (no i'm not the first here) for example?

Part of the issue with exploration is we go out scan get nice data by literally pointing at the planet (Don't get me started on the poor exploration game play mechanics) take it back and submit it.. FDev had in the past admitted that being FIRST BACK was important etc.. well if we could name things etc it'd make it even more so.

Even if it literally was you could only name life giving worlds etc.

*shrugs* likely not the first to bring it up anyway actually think i brought it up back in alpha but yeah.

One of those things that sounds great in principle, and then you look at the No Man's Sky galaxy that's populated almost entirely with planets called 'Balls!'

lol, I've yet to find a system in NMS that someone else has visited. I've only named one myself (with the really great title "Vortex Farm", or something - can't quite remember now ).

It is something that sounds better than it is. I wouldn't even want to name all the earth-like or waterworlds I've found in E: D, there are too many of them. There is only one system that I wouldn't mind naming, as I claimed that as my own and it is not too far from the bubble (it has an earth-like and a couple of water-worlds). Maybe every explorer should be allowed one system.

They start to become easier to find once you get close to the centre.

Mind you, most of mine were named "Balls", "Cubes", "Cubes And Balls", "Many Many Balls" (in my defence, there were) and "Beware Arsebiters!"

Thing is though Fdev already have a filtering system in place for cmdr names etc and a naming policy. All it takes is having it and enforcing it, they claim we are in a sandbox and have an impact and ok the colonia region maybe but there is more to the universe than the two bubbles
