System naming in the Barnard's Loop area

[Roqinn]

Did scientists have a hard time naming some of the systems out there?? I can understand the technical system names, but when you start naming systems like Celsius, Collins and Woodrow... Could they come up with nothing better? Nothing cooler?? I mean we have some good named systems in the bubble, why not elsewhere?

Sorry, it's just my thoughts while I'm out and about on my weekend excursion.

I like Struve's Lost Sector.

Most stars in this game are actually procedural generated, the rest come from catalogs such as Hipparcos that have accurate information on the stars mass/distance etc (there are larger catalogs but they don't have such information). In total there are about 130000 real stars that are somehow represented in the game, where as in the local 2000 ly neighborhood alone there are actually estimated to be 80 million stars and 200-400 billion in the entire galaxy.

That's sort of why they have funny names because it would of taken FDev an eternity to name them individually.

And some were named by players I believe. Didn't KS have that reward in one of its tiers?
Or was it just stations?
