Horizons In-Game Group Names Should be not equal to the CMDR's Name but picked to describe an activity.

This is a feature suggestion for after 4.0 from the current Betta.

Please change this, when you get the change to. Groups should be independent of the creators name and have their own name. That name is the name of the Clan-Corp-Name it what you want it's not the name of the creator. In every game even in ED no faction caries the name of it's leader. Empire, Alliance, Federation are not personal names. Because Leaders change and groups remain. Also the only o0ption now to the group is "DISBAND". Here is where you add "set Leader". But for the most Let us have a cool name for our groups that does not require us to create a new character, just to set up a name for a group.....

Are you referring to Private Groups?

Arrest my Case I mistook Private Groups for Squadrons.

Absolutely. My primary character/account is D.D. Harriman and my secondary character/account is James "Mac" McIntyre. I would like for my Private Group name to be Harriman & Strong Enterprises.

Hey D.D have you thought about making your own faction in game? You can do it here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showth...Faction-System
With the upcoming squadron feature you can name yourself that and link it to your faction in game.

I disbanded my group because the group system makes ( I gave up my actual gaming tag for the name of my group which irks me somewhat) no sense and there seemed to be no particular benefit for other group members to be forced carry the name of a single member.
I agree that a group should be able to Identify itself without the constraints of using a single members name to identify itself.

Yes. That was my original plan.

There is also the minimum member requirement.

3) We now need to know how many members are in your player group.
Please give a rough or exact estimate of how many you have.
We will not accept “actively recruiting” or an inflated number that will not reflect the amount of players to the group within the game.
Needs to be of at least TEN.

Then I read about the Attack on Mobius..

I don't think I have TEN real life friends that would be interested in Role Playing the Heinline characters and ships from http://www.heinleinsociety.org/concordance/books/req_hc.htm and http://minerva.wikia.com/wiki/Lazarus_Long books.

There could also be the question of if the group would meet the "lore" standard. I have a reason why I think it would, but the DEVs seem to be a bit weird and very slow to make their approvals.

luckily, squadrons do not have a minimum requirement of members, so you can be all alone in a squadron. And then you find a minor faction in game to support, if you want to.
