Just a couple of mini-questions about satellite objects.
1) If I have a satellite object (for example a nav buoy, weapons platform or telescope), and I align it to a faction, the text comes up as '[Faction] Satellite' in the game environment despite the actual name being on the nav list and map. Is there a way to make it come up with the name i've actually given it rather than the type and still keep it faction aligned (since removing alignment fixes this but I actually want it to have a faction)? 2) If a satellite object doesn't have a sprite on the navmap, is there a simple way to make sure it does? Any help is appreciated. ![]()

It depends on the object type. If it is MISSION_SATELLITE then the name you gave it should be displayed. Otherwise it will be just <faction> Satellite. If I recall right.
If there is no sprite on the map then either the object is invisible on the map (visit=128) or because it's radius in the solararch.ini is too small to be displayed.

Thanks for the help. The name of the object is now visible in-game after it being labelled as a mission sat.
That said, apparently also as a result of it being labelled a mission sat is that the name of the object no longer appears on the navmap, which it was doing before, so I can't tell whether or not the solar radius fix would be having any effect on the map sprite.

Solar Radius is just the sprite. I am not sure now however if the MISSION SATELLITE does change the visiblity in the contact list.

It's definitely still in the contact list. The text just isn't on the navmap.
