When nearing a station we are currently greeted by the station using the vendor of the ship and the first three letters of the commander's name. Now, in 2.3, we do have ship names. Wouldn't it be much more consistent to use the ship name for the greeting? Even if still limited to 3 characters, it would give the player the chance to vary the greeting from ship to ship and he/she can still change the first letters to get a different greeting.
Use ship name instead of player names upon greeting.

I wud like it but I think that's technically not feasible. There are so many nations playing this game and thats would not help to pronouns it correctly. For instance I am German. When I name my ship "Hühnerklo" it would definetly not pronounce correctly. And when its not pronouce correctly I wouldn't like it.
Ship names are difficuilt because of Multi-language issues as shown above. But like air traffic controls work the call sign can be used to identify your ship.
I am pretty sure they will do this one day.
Maybe already 2.4?????
Its quite easy to do because only the place to read the information is to be changed. The rest is already in place and working.

The first three letters in the internationally accepted phonetic alphabet.
Yep... nothing more than today. Just using the first 3 letters of the ship's name rather than the commander's name.
Better use the Ship-ID.
It is always 6 Chars.

The only reason it's using the CMDR name is because we didn't have the ship IDs in place at the time. Switching from reading off one character string to a different one shouldn't be a hard update. It's also a good reason why everyone's ship ID defaulted to a random one that took letters from your CMDR name.
