Please tell me which planet naming system (Convention) is recommended for use at the moment?

If this guideline is gone, what recommendations have replaced it now?

I start a system with a letter of the alphabet corresponding to the the order i discovered it in. I try to name the planets a name that rhymes with the system. Once i hit Z i plan on using 2 names same kind of format I.E.: aplha aplha, aplha beta , etc. i slap a number at the end for good measure. I'm sure this will not be incredibly confusing or backfire in any way.

This is a creative lingvistic way of naming planets

I'll make my own, based on your naming convention

Thank you!

I find that planet names don't matter, but the teleport locations do. Basically, determine what info about a sytem is important to you. I determined that the Race, number of systems I've visited, the star color and number of planets (including moons) is my basis for naming. So, G1-Y4 is my first Gek system that has a yellow star and 4 planets. Later if I use the system for trade I include trade route info like Mining-1, so G3-Y6 Mining-1 "Original Name" is how would name the system.

It's really just a way to generate a good (but also informative) name that is better than the default names.

This naming scheme should still be usable in the Next update since it doesn't seem like they have added any new biomes.

Update for next?

I don't use that exact system. But if you see a planet called Fart then that means it is ok to land. FartFart means you should definitely land and Faaart means you should stay away. It is a work in progress, but your system is ok too.

The system name is not updated in the teleporter is all i am saying. I am not trying or willing to start an argument over this fact.

I am just providing other players with a heads up about what could happen to their gameplay if they rename 100s of systems and have to keep track of all those names versus the names in the teleporter display.

This is in no way an attack on you, your idea or anyone else.
