Summary0020662: Missing the ability to rename planets.
DescriptionI made a lot of use of this feature in the original AI War. It's useful as a memory jogger when you come back to a save, and to make faster sense of the wave alerts. (Waves on Glass and Theuban, hang on while I check where those are. Waves on Back Door and East Wall? Okay, let's go!)

Consider this a vote in favor. The very first thing I wanted to do in my beginner game was rename planet Murdoch. The planet name field in the planet view (upper left corner) actually looks like a text entry box, and I was mildly annoyed when it only switched planet/galaxy views.

Ah yes, this is definitely something to do in the next few quarters at the slowest.

You know, maybe this is my first bug to squash. It seems simple enough, and it'll help introduce me to your GUI code by doing something.

Sounds awesome! And there is already a precedent for how you can rename fleets. The main thing is I guess we need a hot key or something like that for the planet rename prompt to come up when you click it. Or something like that. Not sure where a button to click would go.

Also of note, you can't rename it directly but have to run it through a GameCommand for multiplayer compatibility. That's the hardest part but the bits on editing fleets are a good template for that.

Thanks!

* The Edit Planet button on the galaxy map is now fully functional.
** Clicking this allows you to edit the planet name, add freeform notes to the planet (up to 512 characters, that show in the tooltip for the planet after that), and set a priority for the planet. The priority levels for the planets include the same exact ones from the original AI War, plus a bunch of new ones.
