don't you mean Stargate Atlantis? McKay is a character from SGA, Dr McCoy is the star trek character.

You know, a thread containing the suspected inspiration for station names would be a superb read!

I'd put one together but a) I'm too apath

I've been to Dirac Enterprise, presumably named after the mathematician, Paul Dirac.

There was a YouTube video with a station called 'W*** Terminal', W*** were an 80’s computer terminal manufacturer

How odd, the word is used in the game as a name of a station, yet censored on the forums. I know this is gonna get me another warning message from the mods. It's not even that bad a word.

A friend of mine came across a station named Big Harry's Monkey Hangout. That's a winner in my book.

I've seen Verne and Heinlein. Still looking for Asimov and Clarke.

I think he's mixing McKay up with McKinley... and that's a spacedock in a shipyard for repairs. McKinley dock was "featured" in the episode right after Best Of Both Worlds after ENT-D came home for repairs and Picard went planetside to visit his family in France.

Ron Hubbard Ring

Now I have seen his ring, I wonder where the rest of him is

I'm just disappointed they renamed White Hart Lane to just Hart Station.

I always enjoy being asked if I'm the hero George Lucas needs.

I heard players can discover and name stations. How does that actually work guys? Are not all stations automatically broadcast to your ship via navigation beacon when you jump into inhabited system?

You're right, all stations and stars are already on the galaxy map, from what we know. You can't discover or name them.

We can still speculate about what they are all named after though.

I don't understand why we can't say w a n g on the forums. It's the name of a station and an Asian family name.
