Fleets do not remember their names

So annoyhing...

from GalCiv3 Forums

I've noticed that when I rename a fleet from say  Yor fleet 2005122   to  Virus Fleet   and then save the game.... the next time I load the game my fleet is back to being Yor Fleet 2005122   

 

As i name fleets based on their roles (defender,  Home guard,  Fast  strike,  deep strike  etc )  this is really annoying.

Or when you add a ship. Or when you release a ship. Or when you even think about that fleet, seems like.

Yeah, its unbelivable, that things worked in GalCiv2 are now so hard to fix in GalCiv3. This game is a major step backwards...

Maybe don't name your fleets "Virus" then? 

Just kidding. I named mine "Backdoor Trojan Malware Infection Registry Checker" and same problem exhibited.

Hey at least they're still working on it, and even asking questions like What do you want to see in 1.4?

Unlike Take2 who haven't fixed a reproducible game-stopping bug (MP sync error) since 2005 that exists in 7 titles.  WHAT A SCAM SOMEONE SHOULD GET ORGANISED AND TAKE THEM DOWN!   Can't fix reproducible bug for 10 years... it's not NASA guys, there is a FINITE amount of code. Pfft. Thieves. There is a Take2 consumer advocate but that's another story... dot dot dot

I can't remember exactly - but from patch notes, the fleet system was just added or just overhauled?   So they're still working on it.

I think the UI generally needs some touching up/ more consisteny...  In the Future Ideas forum I've posted my organised list. Check it out!  I'll add the fleets rename thing.

But I'm going with a theme man... the Yor are computers...  so a virus is a mode of attack...          Firewall fleet is my defender fleet  ;P

Yes.  The fleet name system is just like The Game.  When you think about it, you lose it.

well, it's a different engine.  And tbh, when I first started to play Galciv3, I was a little annoyed, felt that Civ V, released 5 years earlier was a better strategy game.  Now, I'm replaying Civ V.  And I can't stand that silly game, I want to go back to Galciv 3 :P
