ööööhm, I dunnow, but I like the names, even if they are a bit complicated ^^
It is actually all a design decision and not evil or impossible or anything. They did a good job in creating unique and interesting names using technology and not a simple boring way of some person coming up with something.
I agree, the wacky planet and region names are one of the best things in the game
If you cant remember or even say them: git gud! ^^
But since we are able to name locations when getting settlement status this is not an issue at all
18 planets, 50 planets, that’s all small scale thinking. The big picture is that each planet has 50 zones, and the universal structure is designed to scale indefinitely. A little random name generation is just fine in the context of the massive scope involved. Maybe you don’t remember, but there was a time before when people had difficulty pronouncing Munteen, were not sure if Berlyn was pronounced with an I or Y sound, and Nasharil was always shortened to just Nash because it’s easier to say.
Not everything is a problem, not everything is horrible!!! and not everything needs to be turned into a rant.
well, at least they could ^^ … German location or city names or not as long as irish ones. Long german examples would be the “Teutoburger Wald” or “Schneverdingen” … but irish? … ever heard of “Bullaunancheathrairaluinn” or “Lough Clougherbowbartleymede”? … and those are just some examples out of a wiki list ^^ ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_placenames_in_Ireland )
We germans just tend to connect words together for simplification … How to name a captain of a steam ship that ships over the Donau?" - of cause it’s the “Donaudampfschifffahrtskaptän”. How to name a law which regulates the labeling of beef? - well, there we have the “Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz” ^^
Exactly… That is what I really wanted to show! Things could be much worse. Thank you for covering for me since I forgot all my German lol!
Ofc there’s the legendary:
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
(In Wales)

I totally agree : /
New planet names are so hard and complicated. What is wrong with Easy-To-Say names ?
For example Serpensarindi could be basically Sarindi
so call it Sarindi … everyone will understand which planet you mean

I quite enjoy the randomly generated names. Some are simple, familiar, and easy to remember. While others can be exotic, seem quite foreign, and can create a sense of wonderment as you might expect when exploring a new universe.
