Idea on how to make Freeports more unique - The Joker - 04-11-2011
Not sure if you guys take ideas into consideration from [coughs] inactive players such as myself but a simple idea came to me while I was browsing forum to see if anything new has happened around here...
Why not give each Freeport a name?
What's the use of this?
- Freeports won't carry anymore just the numbers thus making these stations more distinctive among players, both newcomers and veterans.
- Each Freeport would become more unique and it'd stop just being a number, which is simply boring.
- Perhaps, by naming every Freeport, would give some new RP perspective to community and Zoners in general.
- Cannon would probably easily implement this naming process.
Naming could be done by taking into consideration Freeports' location and/or history. Here are couple of quick names.
Freeport 1 - Traders' Refuge - Freeport the most commonly used for trying to hide away from pirates.
Freeport 2 - Bering's Pass - Bering is small, sometimes it use to remind me on canyon or something.
Freeport 4 - Mine & Dine - IMG base and it sells mining equipment I guess.
Freeport 5 - Supernova - couldn't come up with anything better.
Freeport 6 - This one could be named after that TAZ Goddess (sorry, I forgot the name) and it's next to Baffin system.
Freeport 9 - Corona's Pride - it's close to the Sun in Theta.
Freeport 11 - Eat at Nommie - it's a joke of course. Suggest something.
Freeport 10 - Iceshard - 'cause it's located in kinda icy system, isn't it?
Freeport 12 - Have no clue for this one. It's in Yukon.
Freeport 15 - It's in Omicron 74. Suggest something.
And where is Freeport 8?
Anyway, lets hear some names in case you find this interesting....

Cradle of Tranquility (FP 12) and Trouble's Home (FP 11) are really cool, appropriate names.

To be honest I think it would be interesting, but a lot confusing to actually remember then where they are and such.
Maybe give them touch of personality, but leave a number.
Something like FP1- "name".

indeed leave the current numbering system while "containing" the name as sort of a nickname that just stuck to the building....
like with twin towers... World Trade Center... everyone says twin towers anyway

FP12 should be called something like "Violet Heaven" in refference to the giant violet coloured planet it orbits

There is no Freeport 12 afaik
But I think the current system is good, cause abbreviations;)
Also: Why do Freeport numbers skip numbers?
