Proposal
Make the restrictions on custom naming reverse engineered space components the same as that of crafted components.
Justification
You can have "|XYZ| Component 1" for crafted, but you are not allowed numbers or special characfers for reverse engineering names.
Motivation
Make components that are not default named have the same naming conventions/restrictions whether crafted or reverse engineered.

It would make keeping a "brand" of shipwright parts easier through sharing a naming convention. Also being unable to use numbers in one but not the other doesnt make sense.
Currently the filter on what youre allowed to call the same component is different between being crafted and being a product of reverse engineering.

Crafted can have special characters such as pipe (|) and the full set of numbers, where as the custom result of reverse engineering can have neither. Just want to make the validation normalised for the same component.

Seems strange the restrictions are different. I'm ok with this unless someone can point out a way it can be used to trick players into buying something they didn't want.

Just make the validation the same as crafted imo, its just weird to me you can have a ship capacitor named one thing for crafted and it cant be named the same thing if its from loot.

Its a tiny thing but would be a nice QoL for shipwrights.
 
The colored text prohibition was because there is a merchant skill to do "premium auctions" with colored text, and if anyone could color text it would nullify that skill (and credit sink).
