Renaming Squad
« on: August 25, 2013, 11:19:33 PM »
  Is there a way to edit the name of a squad, without disbanding the squad and reforming it?

  While I am at it, why is it that I see multiple squads with the same name?

most times the same name are "wings" of squadron...as 32 players are max in a squad...so they set up wings...

also sometimes others take a name from a squad to be a dick, and dont have anything to do with the squad they stole the name from.

and yes you can change the name without disbanding :aok

Muppets on the Wing was one of my favorite perodies, lol.

The squads are at the core tied to the CO and is where the care msut be exerted.  I believe if the CO changes his name it may disband the squad inadvertently.

Just go into O'Club on game menu, then Squads and enter the new name you want. Then , hit set.
There is also a dot command for it, which every FSO CO should have memorized.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

  Ok, I found it.  I was looking for something that said "Edit", or "change", or something similar.  So I missed what was right in front of me. 

  Thanks for the help.
