Hello everyone, As announced in our recent Roadmap update, we’re introducing ship naming and serial numbers in the upcoming Alpha 3.13 patch. With this feature, select ships can display a player-assigned name and the unique serial number they were assigned at purchase on their hulls. This is the first iteration of the feature and starts with the following ships: Aegis Hammerhead Aegis Reclaimer Anvil Carrack Crusader Industries Mercury Star Runner Origin 600i Origin 890 Jump The names will be unique per hull. For example, there can be several ships named “Shooting Star” but only one 600i, Reclaimer, or 890 Jump with the name. We have filters in place to catch inappropriate names and reserve the right to rename a ship should someone circumvent our filters or use a name we consider inappropriate that's not automatically flagged. The feature implementation for the above ships will start based on the date the pledge was acquired. On March 1 at 10 am PST/ 6pm UTC, we’ll open up naming for concept pledges and golden ticket holders before inviting the next waves the following Mondays (March 8, March 15, March 22). These seven-day cycles honor early backers and give the new naming system a chance to cool down between waves. If you're a proud pilot of one of these models, have a look at the wave overviews below to find out when you can name your ship. For ships that have been melted and reclaimed, the buyback date is used to determine wave access. The naming itself is done via the Hangar on the website. Names can be changed at any time, but your ship can only hold one name at a time. This is the first iteration of ship naming, and while you can change the name as often as you like for now, it's important to note that this is only temporary. Also, keep in mind that once you change the name, the old name is released and available for others! We are currently reviewing various options to limit the ability to change ship names infinitely, such as a cooldown and/or a small fee (similar to how handle changes work currently), as naming your ship is intended to be a meaningful and lasting decision.
