[SA] Add option to rename space platforms

Post by Hares »

TL;DR
It is impossible to rename a platform after it is created.
What?
It is impossible to rename a platform after it is created. Until it is deployed, you can delete the "ghost" platform and create a new one, but after it is created there's no way to change the name.
Why?
Multiple reasons to rename a platform after its creation:
  1. Fixing a typo after noticing one
  2. Re-purposing the platform
  3. Changing the name-generation logic on your system (i.e., "Nauvis Orbit" -> "Space Science #1")
  4. Changing the locale and changing its name to match the new one

Not intuitively. You can delete it from the Remote View surface manager but rename it here.
