Heh... I'd be content with just 'Rock Hermit', 'Hermit' or 'RH' after the system name.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Yep.

I'd apply it generally, though, not only for rock hermits: system name and station name. And to keep it short, I'd use name, not displayName.

Also, if it really needs to be shortened, probably "Market" would suffice (instead of "Commodity Market").

"CoachWhip hOopy Casino" and "Imperial Astrofactory" are almost as long as that rock hermit. Some of the bars in Random Hits have names longer than their displayNames, for that matter.

Now there's no longer a contract market on F8 F8 which it needs distinguishing from, that's possible.

Looking through the station OXPs, I think "[displayName] Market" will probably fit in all cases. (And "[system] System Market" for main stations and flight: "Lave Market" sounds too terse to me)

Nothing too unusual there... except that I had just docked at Elvin's Dream, and was about to peruse the unavailable interfaces on F4 (thinking dark-side thoughts):

I'd fled from Tetiri under Viper fire, made it out to the rock hermit... and was cleansed!

I think that needs changing... if it's possible to so do?

Cut the Rock Hermit part out?
Got all turned around, lost my nav connection... Where am I now?

Yep, that sounds buggy. The whole getting-clean-through-a-fine-and-attitude-adjustment business should only happen on main stations, not on rock hermits or any secondary stations.

That is a bit strange. Fixed in r5117, and a trial version of the new market screen title added as well.

Really, I think there needs to be more distinction possible between stations between "main" and "not main", but that can wait.

Rats... another loop-hole closed! Thanks, though.
