Hiya all..
Im trying to make some money by offering to train a critter in a shops name and get it to patrol round a bit...I hope it is a good way to advertise a shop without annoying everyone with spamming at the starport.
Unfortunately, I cant seem to train the pets names in any meaningful way - I know if can be done - Im SURE Ive seen pets with 'for_sale' in their name...
does anyone have a list of allowable naming conventions and characters that I can use? - for example, can numbers be used, or are we restriced to alpha characters?
any advice on what teh name filter will/will not accept would be appeciated...

ForSale
Capitalize the frist letter of each word, but you need to make it all one word.

It would be For'Sale. Unfortunately I don't think you can use dashes or numbers, so you would not even be able to put a waypoint in the pets name. You might be able to do something like M'Weaponsmith'Tell'For'WP but I don't really see people spending money on advertising like that . . . .
