When you blank the name of a craft; it dissappears

Howdy,

When I removed the name of a fast small intercepter to enter a new one, but before retyping the text I accidentaly hit enter; the entire vessel disappeared.

I can understand the vessel did not like me blanking it out, but its a waste of my credits!

So, select vessel, click on name and backspace the text away completely, then press enter and bang, its gone with the aliens.

Just tested this myself. The aircraft is still there. Click on the area where the text would be and you'll be able to view the aircraft, change equipment, and enter a name again.

You are right! I did it with the mission vessel (first vessel) in a new game, and indeed I could reenter the name.

My first observation was with a stiletto (bottom vessel in the list) so thats why I thought it was gone.
Maybe if the name is blank, its better to default it back to its default name?

It is rather a feature request, but as it can confuse the players I leave it here.

The issue is fixed in the latest master (2.5-dev). Empty name will rename the aircraft to the translated default name, renaming to only SPACE characters denied.
