You can use the variables [company] and [initials] to add these to your ship names.
Station Settings
These settings apply to the current station that you ran the command from. You can set a short name and a station id. The station id as a number that you can use to determine which station a ship might belong too, without having to have the full station name.
You can use the variables [short] and [stationid] to use these values.
