Have you ever noticed that Station controllers always give you the same designation?

I've noticed today that I always get designed as Romeo-Four-Delta, and holy poop. Dang nice touch.

It's the first three letters of your pilot name.

[Mobscene]

Yup, that's been in as long as I can remember.

Mike Oscar Bravo.

If you don't like yours you can change it in the options to identify you by your ship's ID, then give your ship some cool sounding ID :)

or you can have the first three letters of your ship ID

Huh, never paid much mind to it cause I figured it was just random code signs to sound cool.
That is a cool touch though, makes it more personal.

[Xaton]

then think when fully allied with control faction they use code name then formally invite you beyond the standard get your arse in the landing pad method XD

They also say the name of your ship manufacturer: Glutamaya Lima Oskar Bravo (if you are in a Glutamaya ship)

No, it's if you are in a Gutamaya ship. ;) If I am in a Gutamaya ship, it's "Gutamaya Delta Oscar Lima".

And yes, they even add "Heavy" for some big ships. :)

Ups yeah, my english is funny, when I am in a Gutamaya ship.

Yea, I personally love the sound in the game, to say in space you shouldn't be really hearing engines, lasers, cannons, explosions, they have done a great job on it.

I watched a vid the other day about the FSS and scanning the planets, did you know every type of planet you zoom into has a different sound, rock, ice, water, earth like... WOW.

Some stations say " Lima Alpha November" , and some say " Lincoln Apha November.." I dunno why...

Which is great, even on this world alone we all say it different. especially if we've not learned it in the military / police etc and we're just the Joe Bloggs of the world. Maybe take note of where it's different maybe Lincoln are more Federation planets and Lima are Empire? Or it might be just random. Does the same place always say Lincoln?

I don't know why it's only the first 3 characters of your ship ID - I mean it's a maximum of only 6; why not give all 6?
Ship names - different story, of course. But why not all of your ship ID?
