Base Names and proprietary Landmarks
I don't know if you are going to stay with the UoP basenames, but I have taken the liberty of starting a discussion thread on the subject - and local landmarks
(Academician Archaic: just delete this thread - or padlock it - if inappropriate)
To kick off, here's a list from one of the Uni clones used in the Forum Wars games:
LANDBASES:
Varsity Base
Oxford
Cambridge
Harvard
Yale
Cornell
Stanford
Purdue
UCLA
Concordia
Berkeley
Brigham Young
Duke
Westpoint
Leiden
Heidelberg
Sandhurst
Berne
St Andrews
Edinburgh
Carleton
York
Simon Fraser
Sorbonne
Athens
Moscow
Macquarie
Massey
UBC
WATERBASES:
The Maritime Institute
Cousteau Research Center
Atlantis Foundation
Oceanography Base
Tidal Research Base
Reef Research Center
The Soumarine Institute
Gravity's Pull
Ocean's Fury
(And as you know, you can edit PBEM maps in play to name landmarks within your own sphere of influence - or to put "placemarks" down for future base sites, etc

Interesting suggestions. We could also have a base named "MIT". Or "Silicon Valley".

Don't forget William and Mary! 
On a more serious note, I'd favor names such as:
Jefferson Lab
Hawking Research Center
Monrovia
as a counterpoint to the original Uop names' focus on Soviet scientists. I'm in favor of keeping some of the original names, and modifying others.

Looks great, but we should also keep some of the "old" names, they are also pretty good.

I agree. Many of the old names where quite inspired.
