Freeport 14 is in Yukon. There is no Freeport 12. There's no FP3, FP8, or FP13 either, as you mentioned. Never did understand what happened to those Freeports. Also, Goddess's name is Eris. How could you forget, O Agent of Chaos?!

As for the names themselves, I don't think it's such a good idea. When we crate new bases, we still use the old vanilla-standard of naming them after places on Earth. Having flowery names for the Freeports would throw that off. That fact alone might not be such a bad thing, but that naming-standard keeps us from picking out over-the-top or it-seems-awesome-but-it's-actually-lame names for our stations. "Cradle of Tranquility" and "Corona's Pride"? That's... cute, but that's trying too hard.

I've always liked the numbers. It's an interesting change of pace from most of the other bases in Sirius, but then again the simple numbered bases don't really fit the mood that Zoners in general seem to have. Maybe giving them proper names would make them feel more welcoming (and perhaps easier to remember), but nothing too fancy.

i'd much rather see some unique models for them, instead of 3 pipes welded together and a mandatory biodome. yes, i know there are exceptions, but you get it unless you are a complete retard

if possible , i would like to see them larger , that goes for most bases actually , if you read how many people are supposed to live there , see how many ships dock there etc. you would think those things should be bigger
probably it would be a lot of effort if not impossible to do though

Not a bad idea, really. While TAZ has a presence at Freeport 6, they don't run it so it won't bear any name to the Goddess Eris.
I did have an idea for it though since it sits on a relatively quiet route with not a lot of activity, something like "The Deadbeat Cafe" or something.

This.

Also, I like some of the name's Joker came up with.

Then again, as for names of stations, hopefully the Zoners as a whole can come to a decision about them. And yes, Dentist's Office/Corona's Pride are definite contenders for Freeport 9.:lol:

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
