What if you met a real friendly cmdr who was helping guard a station? Can't name him?
Or a cmdr who shared some trade routes with you?
That happened to me, I was unaware of this restriction yet I decided not to name him just so I wouldn't be encouraging every newcomer to ping him and ask for help. So in those cases, you might be doing the CMDR more of a disservice than you might think.
