Newcomer / Intro System BU 741.... or is it Gliese 120.1 ....?

[jpjeffrey]

Got an assassination mission to go to GLIESE 120.1 C

Went into left hand panel, transactions, clicked on the mission details, clicked on 'Open Galaxy Map'
The Galaxy Map opened with System BU 741 centred..... Que?

Did a search for Gliese 120.1 on the Galaxy map... it went right back to BU 741

So I opened system BU 741; sure enough there are 3 stars in the system, named as follows:

BU 741
Gliese 120.1 B
Gliese 120.1 C

Well, THAT can't be right..... can it..?

I think it's because the stars were first identified in different catalogues and their being linked in a system only discovered later.

our beloved starter system LHS 3447 has the same problem. Secondary star was discovered first and gave name to the whole system, but you are jumping to the primary star that has different name, because it was listed later and in different catalogue.
