Name Change for Space Station?

[Shroselo]

It's hard to remember which station goes to what system. I wanna portal to "A" but accidently go to "B". Cause all the space stations names are derivatives of "hdhjdishsb"

?

not sure what you mean.

the names you see when picking a destination are the star system names.


or are you saying you can't remember the star system name?

I agree that it is annoying that you can change the system name, but the original name still shows up on the teleport list. I try to name mine something similar but just not so non-sensical.

I can think of two options, only. You do understand by now that the teleporter will only display the last 4 systems you have Teleported from. On a station your home base will always be selection 'A'. At your home base, selection A will be the LAST system you teleported from. B,C,& D will be the systems you teleported from in backward sequence.
Option 1. BEFORE you teleport form a system, write that systems name in a log book you keep. YES I agree completly, It's a pain in the ass and we shouldn't have to do it, but unless they address this in "NEXT" it is reality. Even if the teleporter eventually moves the system out of the cache you can travel there by ship. hahah unless its one of those that are more than 1,000,000 light years away.
option 2. Do not rename the star system, but name one of the planets a unique name like "I really want to come back" Or "This is a really cool place". Something that you can associate with. That way you can go to the discoveries menu, find your planet name and that way you will have the system name. Then you just select that from the teleporter display.
OOoohh. just thought of option 3. But that requires that you have the "PORTAL" coordinates for the planet you want to go to. You will also need the necessary Glyphs to activate the Portal for the target planet. I don't know how far along you are in the game so I don,t know if you have started collecting the glyphs yet . If not then forget option 3 untill you do. The glyphs and addresses allow you to teleport accross very large distances. Crap, You would have to record the coordinates and the glyphs in the log book too. Forget option 3. It would be a bigger pain than just writing down the system names. Sorry.
I understand your frustration as I went through the same thing. I now only use the teleporter to go back and forth from my base to retreive somethig I require for upgades or repairs.

+1 hope they change this in the next update

Another issue I been having is my new freighter keeps spawning Anomaly and Atlas stations in my home system. It's my original system so there shouldn't be any thing but I have seen 4 different anomalies and 3 different Atlas stations.

Is this normal?

[BaneBlackGuard]

the anomaly is random, that's normal. never seen an Atlas station pop up in a system later.

I'm curious what led you to believe it was your freighter spawning them ?

[Shroselo]

Didn't happen till I got it. Been on that planet for a few weeks mining gold

Not sure about Atlas stations, but have had anomaly spawn in my home system.

It appears they are triggered by 100% species achievement. If you immediately return to your base, it may be delayed long enough to show up there.

Just figured out how to get space-station name to be the same as your custom name for the system...

1) Upon entering the system the first time, do not board the space station.

2) Land on a planet and make first contact.

3) Make certain that you are connected to discovery service before renaming the system, then do so and upload.

Having done this, when you then make first contact with the space station, the name of it will be the same as the custom name for the system; this will be reflected in the teleport menu, as well.

Hope this helps someone!

This also works after you have already entered a station! However, in that case, you need to go to a planet you have not yet discovered, discover it, and then go back to the station. The name should change when you board the station again (I'm 3/3 so far with this method, but it may not be 100% reliable.)

This thread is a little over 6 years old....

In today's game with the most recent Worlds Part 1 update, we can now rename systems and planets too. Maybe that makes a difference to space station naming?

I never had a problem with it.
Rename the system and the station gets renamed.
And if not just remember the station name.

Probably just drudging up old posts cause there is nothing creative to say.
