LordFowl Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Pretty simple. Since IPCs are machines, it only makes sense that they could have numbers in their name. It's a fairly machine thing to do. Link to comment

Jboy2000000 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 This would be great. My original IPC was meant to have numbers in it, but when I couldn't have numbers I had to replace them with letter look alikes and the name ended up looking so rediculous and stupid no one on the station bothers to talk to me, and I even got BWOINKed because of it, so I just ended up getting rid of the character all together.

Dzheymz Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I don't see how this is necessary when you can use One/Two/Three... In fact, it seems more appropriate to use that instead of 1/2/3. Link to comment

Jboy2000000 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Because theres a character limit, and "1" takes less characters than "one." Link to comment

Guest Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm thinking this can be sorted out, however I do believe that I will be restricting it to IPC's, so if you try to spawn as a human type with numbers they will be removed from the name. Link to comment

Take for example my IPC, HI-47 MkI. HI-47 MkI looks a lot better and cleaner than HI Fourty Seven MkI. Link to comment

Covert0ddity Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I approve of this idea. I remember back when I first got IPC whitelists, I was going to make a generic NT-robot thingy with the name... NTAR-332, if I recall. It saddened me greatly when I discovered I couldn't do it, and made Renegade instead. Link to comment

Frances Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 you could use roman numerals but that might get a little confusing i guess behold the HK-XLVII, model MMCDLVII! Link to comment
LordFowl Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Since SoundScopes no longer exists, bumping this might be relevant. So I will. Link to comment
Thesir Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This is a good idea for IPCs. Roman numerals not only still look messy, but are also still multiple characters for what could be more concisely expressed with just numbers. That said, HK-XLVII is actually kinda theatrical and cool. Maybe a bad example lol Link to comment
canon35 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Holy necro post, anyways, this idea is good and I want to see it implemented. Link to comment
Guest Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Some arabic names and words have letters instead of numbers, so I'm thinking this should be a thing. Link to comment
Owen Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 This should definitely be a thing. While roman numerals are fancy and all, I would like to have numbers for names. An IPC that I have seems almost too special without the numbers. I feel like the numbers would make them feel more of a factory model. Link to comment
