Allow Flight Computers and Astromech Droids to be labeled

Allow Flight Computers and Astromech Droids to be labeled
This idea/suggestion has been flagged as Implemented so it has (or will be) implemented into the game in some capacity. More information can be found in the post from the development team.

Not open for further replies.
Proposal
Allow players to add a designation/label to their Flight Computers and Astromechs to make it easier to differentiate between them. This will allow players to manage multiple command setups and assigned them to specific ships. Also, need to update the "Manage" ship view to see which of the designated Flight Computers (or Astromechs) are assigned to a given ship. This works initially, but eventually the "Loaded" computer fails to be displayed in the "Manage" view.
Justification
Players need an effective solution for managing multiple Flight Computers (or Astromechs) for POB play, grinding, PVE, PVP, mining, and casual play.
Motivation
Players are encouraged to customize their Flight Computers and Astromechs by choosing what programs to load, including obtaining programmed chips/modules from other player factions which are single-use. However, if you can't easily tell which computer is assigned to which ship, it becomes difficult to manage multiple setups and this discourages dynamic ship configurations.
Having several ships with the same Tier of flight computer (or astromech) makes it difficult to tell which one is loaded on which ship.
 
This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
something needs to be done about this. i use various FC's for diffrent ship setup and its night mare knowing which one to use
 
Upvoted. Such a seemingly simple change, unless adding the ability to rename something is more complex than providing the radial menu option. It'd be a significant win in QoL for spacers.

It seems like there is a bug currently where the "loaded" programs space is always blank. If they fixed this bug, it would allow you to see which programs are in each Computer/Astromech rather than having to worry about renaming them. I was hoping they would fix this with the recent Space Patch. Not sure how much programming would be required, but the system can just check/relay the current programs in the selected Flight Computer/Astromech.
