Renaming Planets after Mothership Search

Hey there,

I'm not quite sure whether this is a bug or not. Here's the Problem:

My Mothership found a new planet today and i wanted to rename it because it had a pretty strange name. Edit: name is not important ;)

I still cannot set a MPDP (Mobile Planetary Defense Platform) to it (because it is not yet 12h in my System) but i CANNOT change its name! Error msg says "no fancy stuff and only in the first 24h" so all my tries to rename it failed. Even with pretty normal stuff like "fish" or "abcd".

Sounds like someone found this planet, renamed it, abandoned it and I "re"-found it. Is it normal behaviour that I can't rename it?

I really don't like the idea of keeping a planet with this name (OCD strikes ;) bc my planets are somewhat ordered).

Greets,
Zaroc

You just have to wait 24 hours after gaining the planet to rename it. :D

Something tells me you are reading the error message incorrectly.
You cannot rename a planet until you have it for 24 hours.

Exactly as Warrsy said. *grin*
