While on paper it sounds like a cool idea, especially with regard to much the fans would enjoy having there character immortalized in the game.

in practical use however it would be very difficult to implement for 1000s of players. on another note, what happens if the player leaves the game?

I like this idea TBH, although, i think it should only be used in outstanding cases of excellence. Having something named after you should be a rare honor, not a common occurance.

Actually, the "oh 'censored' run away" meneuver was invented by LrdNova......in Bridge Commander. He uses it all the time to run away from me cos i own him over and over and over. Even when he gets help :p

Sorry, i couldnt resist a little taunting.

I'm not sure if this is very feasible. if there's multiple servers and i'm on server 1, it could be called the "Falin Retrograde manuver", but on server 2 it could be called the "Kaufman Retrograde manuever" bothb the same thing, but totally different names, thus confusing anyone who switched servers.

maybe a better choice could be to have people submit their "proposed" alterations to the devs, let them mull over the proposed changes and thenadd them t all servers on maintence downtime.

But this would have to be very limited, else they'd be flooded with "do this for me, ect". maybe it could be automatic, like the first time a Player, any player on ny server visits planet "X", that planet will later be called "Falin's Planet" or if a great battle took place there "Falin's Hold", or if a first contact took place, maybe a space beacon that says "on strdate XXXX.XX, The great Diplomat Falin arrived here and successfully negoatiated with the inhabitants of this planet"

but with potentially millions beig able to play the game, everyone will want something named after them, so ths whole idea may be more  of a pain than anything else, probably best to just let the Dev's decide if a particular thing deserves a players name, maybe even covertly.
