Dreadshore is a new area with old names
Dreadshore is a new Sector, it's a new area of the world, but it pulls from the same pool of names as Sector 0. That's very disappointing.
I've always been okay with not getting to name my own Outpost, it makes sense that these are real-world locations, but each Sector not having its own unique pool of names makes the world seem smaller than it should, and seeing the same names over and over feels stale.
This is only going to make those players upset they can't name their own Outposts more annoyed.

I think the reason it pulls from the same pool is because the pool is All Names of Towns/Cities in RL right now. So there's...no new place names because all of earth's cities are in there. Or at least, I think it's all North American?

The current pool is made up of USA (I think it's just USA and not all of North America) census-designated location names.
The devs could have either planned ahead and separated the New England locations from the rest so that there's no overlap, or they could have chosen Dreadshore to be outside the United States.

I suspect there's not enough names in NE to support all the bases built. Now, what they could've done was use Canadian names.
If/when we inevitably expand to other parts of the world I do hope we see those locations' names. It would be disappointing to expand to Western Europe and not be getting Glasgow or Liverpool or Versailles, etc.
