Relabel Beacon Bug

Okay so I go and randomly rename a planet at the top of my page. Ive installed 10 beacons on the planet, why does it have to still be named ... Why doesn't it change to the current name of the planet?

Re: Relabel Beacon Bug

its all based on the id number of the planet. also, if the beacon renamed itself to the name of the planet, you wouldnt need the beacon if you knew who had the planet, kinna makes the beacon useless.

Like Lore said, more of a person tracking system, then a planet name relationship, plus it would allow you to monitor a stolen planets name without needing to use the beacon..

Re: Relabel Beacon Bug

Or, you can just do a search by planet ID in firefox for the same number, and relabel it that way

Re: Relabel Beacon Bug

Yeah I just get annoyed when I change a planets name then have to go through and either relabel it right away or risk forgetting which is which...
Itd be cool though if the beacons would automatically relabel when you rename the planet as long as its yours...

Anyone know what happens if you have beacons on a planet, change the name, the put more on?

all planets and beacons have an id#

and no, but if you try it please come back and let us know the result.
