Hello,
I must say that naming your ships in port is a wonderful idea. I honestly can't believe you guys (devs) haven't implemented this in a game that has ships at its very core. If the game is released without this function, I would think that a lot of folks, including myself, will be pretty disappointed when they buy the final version. Just my opinion, though. I love the game, it's one of my favorite early access games to date for many reasons.
