If you feel like this can wait a few months, I think making bases take preference over players in the chat auto-completer (code change) wouldn't be too hard.
Then again, I haven't thought this through and it might have other undesired side effects.
PS: Or just ban Gart. Who's Gart?

Koln there is nothing stopping a person from making a callsign called Garrison, or supremacy (there are some supremacy's I think actually) etc.. so what are you going to do then?
Cort's idea would be good if it were not for the buggers who name themselves after bases and then the problem becomes from trying to send your miner to base to sending a command to attack/goto/etc a certain player.

The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.
Also as extension to this: Can we move the numbers to the front: .321miner with the most left number as "most significant digit", and could we extend this to bases?

So you want people to have to try and remember what number their con is to send it to a sector? Don't be silleh

That's a point.
