Gauddlike Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I am not sure what the issue is here. You can already name your base anything you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashman Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 When you click place base delete the name text popup e.g Europa Base and write something else Land of leeroys Lemingonauts Deadbasewalking Cool base 1 Hug Kiss KILL YOU!

The New Romance Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Maybe it's about an option to rename it later, in case you changed your drunken-Saturday-evening-but-now-sober-on-Sunday mind about "Hula Lap Dance" being a good base name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hi Guys, I don't want to Name the Base to whatever I want I want to RENAME the base to whatever i want. I used this feature very intensively in the original X-Com f.e. to rename a base after the secondary intension. Additionally if you enter a typo in then intial nameing of the Base one has to live with it during the rest of the game. I think this shouldn't be an that big issue, remebering the save-games from the originals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I have never felt the need to rename one, didn't even realise you could in the original! Learn something new every day ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I could see some bases being allocated other roles later on in a game. Something that started out as a radar post, may well need to get upgraded due to the sheer volume of alien attacks in the area. Having the option to change the base name, although, rare would at least enable a player to change it's designation. Oh, and allow the editing of a soldier name without deleting the full thing would be nice. Nice for both actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceVamp Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Am I the only one that does sequential bases? Nova 1, Nova 2, Nova 3 etc. Yes, right now my go-to name is Nova. Mmmm Nova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thothkins Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I used to name them by a memorable place name - Uluru etc Then it was by function - Assault Base 1, Radar Station 2 etc Now I try to get in both - Roswell - Rdr, Outpost 51 - Aslt (longer fields possibly needed? must look) So being able to edit it wouldn't be horrible. I can't say I've ever had to use it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrakorn Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 To be honest, I like to let the names stay as the game puts them (based on the place), so I can locate them quickly. But yes, I support the idea of being able to rename your base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I used to name them by a memorable place name - Uluru etcThen it was by function - Assault Base 1, Radar Station 2 etc Now I try to get in both - Roswell - Rdr, Outpost 51 - Aslt (longer fields possibly needed? must look) So being able to edit it wouldn't be horrible. I can't say I've ever had to use it though. I name them after fruits - Apple, Orange, Peach, Pear, Apricot and later after baked goods - sponge cake, tarts, muffins, scones, chocolate chip cookies Now I try to combine them- Banana cream pie.
