Doubling a Player name - Unseelie - 01-26-2008
Right, so, I have more than a few ships for each of my characters.
I get away with it by switching up my formatting...so, like,
[QCO]Sam.Windsor and [QCO]Samantha.Windsor
[QCP]Juno.Kietan and [QCP]Juno-Kietan
Now, I have heard, that there is an invisible character, something like the C, that would allow my displayed character names to be
[QCP]Juno.Kietan and [QCP]Juno.Kietan
in essence, appear exactly the same, for my bombers, and my hussar, and my templar.
Does anyone have any knowledge on the subject?
Doubling a Player name - Epholl - 01-26-2008
Once there was a hack attack on the server deleting all chars on some accounts... Mine was deleted too. Admins restored backups.
When I started playing Disco, my first char was Epholl. Then, in BSG, it got renamed to =BSG=Tatran.
But I wanted to be able to be invited from distance, so I deleted the char and made a new one, =BSG=Tatran too.
Back to the hack attack: After admins restored the backups, I noticed 2 ships named =BSG=Tatran. The old one and the new one. Now, they both are deleted (And I have =CR=Tatran:)).

Not really what I was looking for,
More along the lines of, how do I make this invisible C character work?

If it is possible to have 2 or more characters with the EXACT same name, I will be SO happy, because it is the only way I'll have more than 1 ship under that "character" For example, with my QCO. I would not want Oliver.Pellew and Oliver_Pellew. But Oliver.Pellew and Oliver.Pellew would be alot better if I had one as a fighter and one as a bomber.

I have no idea about any other ways how to od this.
I know two guys who have two same-name ships, but I didnt ask them how did they do it. Probably the way I mentioned above.

It's probably a European character.

You're not allowed to create a character with characters that cannot be typed out on a generic keyboard. Meaning only English characters and punctuation. No invisible characters or little boxes. Makes it impossible for the admins to find your character, at times.
Though, of course, I'm not 100% sure.

I once saw this guy with a Russian symbol in his name.

It's just really hard to put it in if it's not on your keyboard.
