I love the new map...I love the new stars...
They are, mostly, all real. In reality, there are a million Ross Stars out there. However, I'm thinking, in the future, that when humans go out and colonize these Star systems, they might not all want to live in Ross.
Or on Nicea 1
or on Nicea 2
or on Nicea 3
or on Procyron 1
or on Procyron 2
...you catch what I am saying...
Many of the stars have unoffical, ancient names. I've never met a greek named Ross. Might we revert some of them to their old names, or if they lack them, have our brilliant Dev team slap a few names on them
And perhaps rename some planets as well.
It could be labeled like this:
Amazonia
(Ross 34
Otherwise, its hard giving directions in the heat of battle.
"I'm in Ross! Come quick!"
My fleet will be scattered.

the best example for efficient names is the Procyon system
Although the two moons of Procyon 3 should be numberized as well
Dont you love to hear if someone tells you he needs help at Procyon 13-1555-345?

why not use what the ancient mariners did.the constellation names?
Ursa Major and minor...caassiopiea....or even the signs of the zodiac.granted they dont look the same there as they would from earth...but the names would have originated from earth.but do think that one system should have a special name. ..............the Faustus system!
