Proposed Elite System Names on uwingu.com

Remember your travels as Commander Jameson? How awesome would it be to look over a real astronomical chart and pick out Diso, Lave, Leesti and other favourites? Uwingu is building a database of proposed names for exoplanets. If you can propose and up-vote Elite names, it just might actually happen.

To propose a name, first check it isn't already registered (if it is, vote for it). Then go to the nominate page and fill in the details. Payment is $5 to uwingu via Paypal. Include Elite in your description (I used "Diso was one of the Sector 1 planets in the classic space trading game Elite. It would be wonderful to immortalize this piece of gaming history, so that future Commander Jamesons can chart a path through familiar territory.")

All Sector 1 planets
