Kickstarter Named NPC's

[CMDR Crustatious Cornelius Pig]

All,

Simple Question. Is there a way to verify your named NPC is in the game? I have been playing a long time and have never come across the name I submitted. I know it is very possible....even probable that I
I will never meet them but I would like to verify the NPC is actually part of the naming database. I know the name was approved.

In case your wondering what the name is

Grashropp Naboo

Does the Backers app still exist?

Mods, Perhaps this should be moved to the backers forum but this one gets more traffic so I figured I would start here.

Peace.

Your NPC should be out there - I know mine is.

Can't say I've noticed Grashropp Naboo around. But was very surprised to see Zedicus Z'ul Zerander tonight. Wonder if they were a fan of the show Legend of the Seeker or the books its based on?

 

[metatheurgist]

I've noticed that E: D fans have apparently read a lot of genre novels and a lot of genre TV.

I do't actually remember if I suggested m own real name or something else.

I've yet to see my Kickstarter NPC (it's my wife's name) but I've seen many other people's, some of them many many times, so I did start to wonder whether there might be some unintentional bias in the database or the RNG. But since we can't categorically claim it as a bug, and a "no, eveything's fine" from FD wouldn't actually change anything anyway, I just let it go.

Maybe they're holding her back for Tier 2, so she can become persistent and nag me from within the game as well as without.

I have seen said NPC countless times. Not as much as Terry Negus (my own space stalker), wherever I went, he was there. I was pretty sure I took a screenie of Grashropp Naboo, but alas, loads of other weird n wonderful names though.

 

[deusx_ophc]

well one of my NPC names is in game, saw a screenshot of "Johanna M. G. Meister" on this very forum. the other "Smilla Aenne E. Meister Nr. 5" is yet to be seen ^^

I have seen Gra'Shropp Naboo in a Sidewinder at a nNav beacon on 05/04/2015. Not sure where though.

 

[Ulysses_W]

I once saw an NPC with my real surname during beta (My commander name back then was my real name till I changed it).

It was odd.

Very odd.

Hence my reason for changing it.

cheers! i now remember my NPC name. it's an in-joke that literally only me and one other person would get. and nope, not seen it.

My NPC has been spotted a few times. The Bulletin Board even hands out missions for his assassination

Master Pain is one mean & nasty NPC. Just like he's supposed to be

Ambient Muesli is my favorite so far.
Don't know if it is a chosen name but after seeing him in one of the shipyard screenshots I always notice when he popps up.

If your wife is 'Mrs [can't remember] of North Wales', I blew her up in a RES a couple of months back

 

[Flavio]

I would appreciate a screenshot of my npc name so if anyone sees Flavio out there, please let me know.

 

[Angus]

Any sightings of Paul Kossoff?


And of course, a screenshot would be great.

Any sightings of Paul Kossoff?

Ah man, he could play!

 

[Julissa Silver]

Nobody's reported my appearance anywhere. I'm sad that evil mirror-universe me still hasn't been hunted down.

THIS!

I have seen a small number of names many many times, and so it does make me wonder...........
