UPDATE After a bit of testing I’ve determined you can rename them in NPC stations and whilst in space, but whilst docked in a citadel I cannot rename any of my ships on any clients, I’ve been able to repeatedly confirm this. It’s specific to ships within citadels. I have reported this via the in-game bug reporting tool as well.
As of the patch today, I can’t rename any of my ships on any of my clients, I simply receive an error message stating “You can’t rename objects you don’t have access to”.
This issue persists across all of my accounts and relogging has not fixed the problem.
just had same issue with GSC’s in a citadel, in error i repackaged everything, so had to unpack and now cant rename them, also tried relog and get the same error message as you
I can verify this as being true, happens to me when docked in a citadel after purchasing a ship through Corp contract. Happens even after unlocking the ship, naming it, and then attempting to rename it while docked again.
