System Names

When warping into another system it will say "Entering sector 6" instead of saying the number 6 it should say the system name Eo.

or maybe even both..., numbers are always easier to remember then exact names.

actually it's normally the other way round. numbers are more abstract than a letter sequence (easier to link to, memory-wise).

mmhh,

I have it easier to find system 8 then to find system eo...

especially if there is some sort of basedirection as to increasing or decreasing numbers.

Thing is, the map is labeled with names.

ay, why do you think I want them to put them both in...

imagine in the old sectorsystem to have hd to travel to axia or sector 15... I think you would have found 15 faster then axia :D

Well, if the whole universe weren't arranged in a ring then the numbers would be harder to navigate to than names. I'm with Lemming on this one. I was playing a couple days ago and was actually surprised to see it say "You are entering system 4".
