« Last post by nuclearslurpee on Yesterday at 04:52:56 PM »So, a weird behavior I'd like clarification on:
In my current campaign, I have one player race in Sol, and then I've created a habitable system in SM mode and placed a second player race in that system. The second race is therefore aliens from a human perspective with no connection to Earth.
This second race has just explored their first jump point and discovered the system of 70 Ophiuchi. By which I mean, that's the name this non-Terran race has assigned to this star system, despite being a completely alien race that has never heard of Sol as anything besides a random G2-V star that they probably have seen in their telescopes at some point in ancient history, and which has completely different constellations in any case.
So my question is: if the game is being played with Real Stars (which I prefer for system generation), do all player races use the 'real' names for the star systems even if they don't start on Earth? And if so, is there any way to force the system names to follow the naming theme? The setting in the Galactic Map window does not seem to matter here.
