Renaming the Base ...

[Axel]

.. would be very helpful. The standard naming looks to similar. It happens very often to me tah t i send out my squads from he wrong base (especially when multiple UFO' are sighted.

I am not sure what the issue is here.

You can already name your base anything you want.

[flashman]

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!

Love Shack

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

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

[Gauddlike]

I have never felt the need to rename one, didn't even realise you could in the original!

Learn something new every day ;p

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.

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.

[thothkins]

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.

[Akrakorn]

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.

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.

Oh yeah, I did that but I put on 7lbs just going between the game and the kitchen......mmmmmmm....scones.
