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?

Is it that much work to add another 'r' to your command?

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.

Notjarvis considers callsigns like
SupremePilot
ExpansivePilot
TacticalGenius
In the hopes more miners get sent to him.....
I like the idea of putting a bracket on the start or something however.
Oh, and we should still ban Gartkal though.
Edit:
Of course I won't create such callsigns. It would cause too much hilarity at how inaccurate they are.....

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?
And +1 to the posters above.

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
