Hi _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. ---

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. ---

Encountering same problem myself. Not only ships. Trying to rename some station containers in an Engineering Complex. “You can’t rename objects you do not have access to.” Really sucks as an Industry guy. Just rebased, would really like to sort my stuff. ---

This applies to anything renameable in Structures, including ships, cans and clones. In what may be a related issue, I’m also unable to insure ships in a Citadel. ---

We are aware of this issue and working on resolving it. You should be able to rename your ship if you undock in the ship.
