UNIQUE: Character names? Ships & NCC's? Both?

[Fluxion]

So I was thinking today, when the launch day of an MMO you've been waiting to play finally arrives, if you're anything like me you're logging on and creating character a soon as possible so the name you want doesn't get taken.

I wonder how it will work for STO? Will your character's name have to be unique, or will the ship name and NCC need to be unique? Or both? I wonder... :)

i think your captain name will be unique, but i dont see you ship name, I dont think you have enough variety in names for ships. I cant wait for this game!

i don't see why the NCC shouldn't be unique, i mean it could be a random number generator within certain limits.

[doam]

Usually I say unique... well, actually, I usually say I don't give a crap... but STO has a unique oppertunity. Non-unique character names, with unique ship names.


...you know, like in star trek. Confused as to which "Jeen Luk" you teamed with earlier and want to put on ignore? It was the one from the star ship "Enterprize." ;)

NCCs should just go up one per ship created using cannon as a start point tbh :p

Ship names ....captains don't name their ships, but I guess I would like to name mine, especially when I get into the later classifications of ships.

As for Captain names, err well people don't name themselves either originally!
But honestly char creation should probably let you choose your own characters name :P

NCCs should be strictly ship "purchase" order so as to show seniority. Ship names should be customizable so as to show ownership as well as player name.
