over at us Fuel Rats. While Squadrons by themselves are, in my view, not fitting, we came up that registering our collective's name would be essential to avoid name-grabbing (so that "Fuel Rats" will be barred from registration by other players).
Could as mentioned a few posts from your link, there could be useful for when fleet carriers are introduced.
I could see for instance the rats having a fleet of squadrons with carriers, to sell limpets and refuel (if they get that feature) scattered around the void at reasonable intervals.
It all varies with how these things come down, will there for instance be an option to allow non members of a squadron to dock and use some basic facilities ?
Or will people have to switch squads?
Will someone be allowed to join multiple squads ?
If it was necessary to leave and apply as you moved around the galaxy to gain access it would cause a significant bureaucratic strain on the rats themselves, and probably not be worth having.
Anyhoo, just musing.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.
