How come we can rename Moth Heavy Miners but not XCs?

Short answer is, you cannot. Only you see the new name.

Long answer is, due to a side effect of Trident renaming, the UI gives every ship with turrets the option to be renamed. But in reality only Tridents actually get a name.

That is so cool!!!

Omg rar!!!

Thanks yoda - it would make it easier to sort through my various docked XCs if we could name them though

How do I name my turreted ship? Rar

/renameship "Space Bear's Space Den"

Having names on your ships is helpful when loading them as cargo, since they all show up as only their ship names and you can't see what's equipped on them or in their cargo holds.
