Simple feature request: Starbase naming

from GalCiv2 Forums
I think it would be nice if we had the possibility to manually name mining starbases. If I control several resources, Influence Mine #2 conveys a lot more info than Mining Starbase 134

You can do this. Select the starbase (when not stacked with a fleet) and click on the little note icon at the far right of the bar that contains the base name. This will open up the dialog to let you edit the starbase name.

or double click where it says the name
Example: Starbase 34

Mine tend to be labeled "Mind Control Array 01" etc

Hmmm.... hadn't thought about appropriate names for influence starbases. "Starbucks" "Wendy's" "McDonalds" "Taco Bell" "Domino's"

As much as I think it's a shame stars can't be renamed, I see the logic. You own ships, starbases and planets: nobody owns stars. Would everyone share the same name, so there'd be wiki-wars where a star is constantly renamed? Would everyone have their own name for a star? I guess if you control all the planets in a system, you could perhaps 'group rename' the star to x and the planets x I, x II etc.

it would be nice if mining starbases have the type of resource as part of the name though.
