Proposal: System wide ARX naming fees

o7,

while I find 5k ARX for renaming a single station ok'ish, I realized that it gets quite pricey if you want to use a naming scheme for all stations/installations/settlements in an entire system.
So my proposal is to keep the 5k per single station but have som sort of differential pricing, like if you rename 2 stations in a system, get a 3rd and maybe 4th or 5th in the same system for free on top, and if you pay for another one - so we are at 15k ARX now - unlock free naming for all installations/stations in that system ... How does that feel? ;)

I've not built a station yet as it all seemed quite complex, buggy (to an extent) and lack on info (or wrong info) or if something was landable.
When you rename a station is it a random name generator or can I call something "Woofy Woof Woof Orbital"?

There is a random generator that you can roll unlimited times but only apply 5 times. It does seem to include the names of participating players in its list of names, so "Snuffler's Vision" could be a choice if you hit the random button often enough. You can unlock custom naming for 5k ARX and call it "Woofy Woof Woof Orbital".

Arx naming a whole system individually could cost £60 or more @ 125,000 arx needed

Exactly, and I doubt that this is a reasonable amount.
No expert by any means in economics, but I think, ppl would rather think about spending 15k (or 20k or whatever may be reasonable) to name every asset in a system than spending the same amount to rename 3 or 4 stations let alone some 100k for an entire system.

For your 2nd point (if I get you corrcetly)
A system pack is a good idea? Once purchased, you can go on to name everything Flimley in that system.

Names should be unique per system, that should somehow be implemented already ...

I'd just like this feature to actually work for me, for starters.

I think some bundled cost for a whole system is a good idea.

Canonically, only star names are unique. There are duplicate station and planet names in the game already.

Personally I think 5.000 ARX is way too much for a single starport out of 10+ in a system.

As long as this price stays, FD won't get money from me here.

Judging by the names I've seen so far I'd say it ought to just be stopped. "F U Base", "Deese Nuts", "The Booty Hole". Exactly what I expected if they were not going to put human eyes on the naming requests and its only going to get worse with time.

Funny enough, the naming feature seems to use a different filter than for ship names.
My carrier "Untitled Space Craft" still gets ****'d out, for an installation the name would be ok.

I must say I've been a big fan of paid naming because it's allowed me to create stations pertinent to things like the Buckyball Racing Club which really helps with my headcanon when building this system. But your post made me go and do some research on Inara (where you can just search for words to find stations that use them in their name) and as well as two of the ones you listed I found plenty of other real shockers that would get me banned if I posted them here. Damn, I'd sorta hoped the cost might prevent that. Conflicted now but yup, there needs to be a system in place for reporting, investigating, and if necessary, removing offensive names.

Removing the weekly arx limit would be a more preferable option. Especially since the general arx cosmetics price increase 10 months ago.

It would benefit not only station naming but also acquering all arx-cost related items

Yes, but it sort of defeats the point of raising cosmetics prices. I think I might have been happier with keeping the cosmetics prices where they were and raising the cash price of Arx

I guess I'd been assuming that this would already exist. When you pay your ARX to rename a system, does it at least warn you that offensive names are not acceptable and... consequences may ensue?

That's why I said "unique per system" ;) It should be prevented to have a single system filled with multiple stations named "Flimley" and if there isn't a mechanism already you would be able to do it by paying for multiple names anyways ... it's not of problem of a system bundle fee only.
idk if there is such protection or not as I won't pay another 5k just to test it out ;)

The more I think I reckon they will add that in later. Why not add that and a panther clipper now? At the rage for colonization? Well... They want to add it in another financial quarter to spread the revenue.

how much would I have to pay to name every station in the game "Flimley". I best get my name onto one of those begging sites, just to make this happen :)
