UI suggestion: Rename a saved ship for a specific mission

Basically, just a text field on the screen we get when one clicks the launchpad, would work like the flag change.

I'm asknig this because sometimes my rockets get laggy or probe cores are hidden under a fairing.

For example, on this image, Moon Lander gets its mission number.

Yeah, I'd like to see this added, too. IMO, vessel spawned in the game should have two identifiers: 1 for the mission name, and one to reference the save file the loaded craft is from.

You do get such a text field when right-clicking on a control (pod, core) part and then choose "rename vessel", as long as the vessel is outside of the VAB.

Inside the vab the vessel can simply be saved with a different name.

On a launch pad: right click the command pot, rename vessel, type in what you want, change type when required (eg. for rovers or landers that you attach to a larger rocket)
