Ship ID and station greeting?

Postby Cabbot » Thu Jul 06, 2017 11:03 am

I renamed my ship and gave it a new ID, BLY-1, but when entering the space of a station the greeting still says "Lima Alpha Sierra", phonetic for LAS, and the original ship ID was LAS-01 or something.

Is this just how it is or is it a bug? Should the greeting say something like "Bravo Lima Yankee" instead?

The phonetic callsign section isn't based on ship ID but the first three letters of your commander name.

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

Aha, well that explains it :D

I'm asuming "LAS-01" or whatever was based on the same algorithm then, considering my gamertag and thus commander name is LasseVK.

Thanks for the clarification.

Yeap. I get an "Oscar Romeo Oscar" because my callsign is Orochimaruh.
Pretty cool.
