I built cargo/tanker vessel to carry ore and fuel from my Mun and Minmus orbital refineries to Kerbin refuel station. However somewhere during the construction process I messed up with naming priority and now each time I dock with any of the stations they immediately change their name and icon symbol to that of the tanker. What is worse that name and icon doesn't revert to the original one when I undock and I have to change them manually each time.

I gathered that the easiest way would be to edit my save file and lower the tanker's naming priority so the stations keep their names. I have located the part where the tanker is described (name, location, orbit, state, parts, all that jazz), however I was not able to identify a string that is responsible for naming priority. I know it probably should be there somewehere.

I'd appreciate help with finding this, as the fact that I have to change station names and their icons every single time my tanker undocks is driving me crazy.

go in the settings.ini file, look for 'SHOW_VESSEL_NAMING_IN_FLIGHT', change it to True.
Now you can change the vessel naming priority in flight. works the same way as in the VAB/SPH
Thanks!

Although it seems that the file you were talking about is named settings.cfg

Much appreciated.
