Naming your ship
Is there any way to change the name of your ship? Artemis has this feature, so I imagine EE would, but I can't find it anywhere on the consoles.

The reason this is not in the "base" screen is that in the mission scenarios the name of the ship is usually of significance to the game, and renaming it could cause confusion.
I might even remove the "create player ship" button for these scenarios...
On the other hand, I'd personally like to see ship naming in the non-story-oriented scenarios (Basic, Waves, Surrounded, Quick Basic, and Empty Space). Ideally, ship naming and creating player ships would be a scenario option. While we're at it, it would also be nice not to automatically spawn a player ship at the start--frequently my crew wants to play Basic with a Phobos or something, which leaves an Atlantis at spawn drawing fire.
If you don't want these features in the game, I can tinker with the source on my own. Thank you for providing it!
For example scenario_00_basic.lua & comment out this line by changing:
player = PlayerSpaceship():setFaction("Human Navy"):setTemplate("Atlantis")
to
-- player = PlayerSpaceship():setFaction("Human Navy"):setTemplate("Atlantis")
You can also set the name like so: You could also change the template to another ship if you still want autospawn.
If you enable the httpserver in options.ini you can use a web browser to change the ship's name:
http://server:8080/set.lua?setCallSign("Ironic Gentleman")
