== System Naming II - Systems with the same name == == System Naming II - Systems with the same name ==
− You're probably going to hate me for this, but here's another of those great ideas of mine how things should be done:<br />In the case of multiple systems sharing a name, the current approach is to put a successor state/realm short behind the name in brackets to differentiate the systems. A random example would be Sakhalin, which is a system in the CapCon ([[Sakhalin (CC)]]) and another system in the LC ([[Sakhalin (LC)]]). This is not very elegant given that Sakhalin (LC) was a Terran Hegemony world before it was a C world, then it became a FC and later LA world and then a RotS world. Why name it (LC)?<br />My suggestion would be to give numbers to the systems, with the one closest to Terra getting the number 1, the next closest the number 2, and so on (if more exist - can't think of any three systems sharing a name). I am suggesting this because there's a major overhaul going on anyways, and it might be less work if it's done all in one go.

:Actually, that's not a problem, but more of a solution. I was very aware of the naming structure we had could become problematic eventually. Let me mull over your naming solution a bit.
