Hi,

I remember an older thread or discussion, which talked about a way of having ships able to warp out and later warp in again with the same name

Has this ever made it into the code, and if so, can someone please tell me how to use this ?

Thanks

It was added and then removed, since it was much too buggy and redundant anyway.

The solution is to create a new ship with an unprintable character (like à) at the end of the name.

I am not sure about the unprintable characters though. I believe there are plans to add unicode support. Or was it just latin? I am not entirely sure.

Yup, that's the point. If those invisible Character will be kept, then of course I will go this way (would be much easier )

If support for unicode is added it's going to break a fair few missions since I for one know I used that "feature" quite heavily.

I found the said topic: truetype is going to be added.
