you should be able to customize fleets/hordes/nodes names so that you can remember which fleet is which, i for one find it hard to remember which fleet is going to do what when i have to remember about a dozen numbers. im sure it will be a simple but effective update, basically where it normally says 'M1' or 'fleet 1' next to it it says 'change fleet (etc...) name'.

Good idea , you could organise you fleets alot better that way. You could also be able to name planets aswell, I could never remembr the coords of all my planets but names would be alot easier.

We already discussed about this.
Image, that you have 3 fleets, which are going to the same position from 3 different points. They will be merged now into one fleet with the lowest ID. Which name must have new merged fleet in your case?

Well, the name of the lowest number fleet could remain, if not all names could be removed and go back to a number. It may work .
Would it work for planets if not fleets?
I suppose that this could all become very confusing though, 80 or so planets with different names would be difficult to remember aswell. Mabe this could just be an option and players choose only the nessasary fleets/planets to name, I would name my home planet at least

this is a very helpful sounding idea. Green's point is one of the key things that would make it hard to do however. And it would be cool if you could seperate the different amounts of krong buildings into the waves they were built. I have the hardest time rememberign why i built things and then i go and throw them away somewere. Its a drag, but i suppose there are ways to get around it. Naming i cool though, look into a least capital planets or the core or w/e depending on race you use.

On the fleet screen you could have a new box just for entering a name. This would not effect anything in the game but just be text that stays with the fleet. To add/change a name you would type a name and choose change name on the command drop down list. The fleets would still keep the number they have and the name would be removed when fleets combine. If no name is specified it would remain blank.

this could lead to another change. maybe u could have it so that they dont merge but there is an option to merge them. i understand it may be hard to implement but naming planets and fleets would be a great thing to be able to do, also maybe it could have an ID AND a name so that other people see the ID but the owner sees the name.

That would work, when you choose to merge fleets you would give the new fleet a name then.

It should not be too hard to implement but the only problem is that they are busy and probably dont have time to implement it, mabe some time i the future though it could be done
