Hi,

I just started a new game with 1.0.6.0 patch, playing as Securan in a 1400 stars galaxy and expansion glider at starting. Just at the beginning, I open the expansion planner and I can see a potential colony, a planet, which name is "BV448". This sort af name is usually given to the moons in the last official patch, but here it is given to a planet. This planet is situated in my home system, Bilcadan. My home planet is Bilcadan 1, the second planet is named "BV448" and the third planet (a gas giant) is named Bilcadan 2...

Do you need a save of this game ?

I've seen this too, I assumed it was for small planets (it seems to be usually small planets that have this type of name).

I have now more than 50 colonies in many systems, but the planet BV448 is so far the only one I have seen with such a name. So it may be a bug.

Some precisions on this problem : I started in a three-planet system. To see if it coulb be a bug, I started a new game with random race (the game gave me the Dhayut) and again, I had a home system with three planet, the second one with an unspeakable name and the third one named 'nameofthestar 2'.

This fact tends to confirm it is a bug...
