Commander names on Premium Beta
- Thread starter tucker
- Start date
IIRC commander name selection prior to game release was only available via the kickstarter backers app, in other words if you joined after the kickstarter era you won't be able to set a commander name during testing.
this may change come gamma release but for now if you haven't already picked a name it looks like you're stuck with numbers

Difficult to answer this question. Frontier said it will put something in place later, for that the backers of the new store, are choosing their name of the commander. But when ? That is the question
Hey ive got alpha and dont get a commander name it was a kickstarter thing for which i did pledge something but i pledged paypal on the kickstarter page so again nothing.
However its a great game so far im enjoying it and we have not even got half the content yet. So im cool !
Just think commander #55645 im not a number im a free man !
I think they might have to at that point, or just have a load of Beta Backer #xxxxxx pilots flying about, which will just be confusing.
Actually its nothing to do with Alpha, £25 during the kickstarter got your name reserved. Everyone else is called Alphabacker some number. You may be Betabacker some number for a while.
£15
I was cheated! Ripped off! What is this pay to win now? Nurse!
They will have to make it as soon as possible. Because there are thousands of backers of the new store. And each name of commander must be unique
I'm looking forwards to choosing my commander name, hopefully as an early backer of the game - premium beta - i'll have an opportunity to reserve my name before the game goes out to the general public.
Until then, my lips are sealed, no hints of what I'd like to choose as my name. Can't risk someone stealing my good ideas.

Commander MDK-187, I'm not telling anyone mine just in case someone takes it too.
Choosing your Commander name isn't something that is available right now unless you happen to be a backer who has the pledge tier prior to the store opening.
My understanding is all those reserved names had to be manually approved.
Once an automatic system is in place I imagine it will be released to all of us at that point (who have access at that point).
I suspect we'll be seeing alpha backers flying with beta backers for a while (but I'm often incorrect so maybe not for long?)

How do you automate checking that names are not swear words or rude (in English, let alone in Swahili)? Or that they contravene trademarks, etc? My understanding was that it was those sorts of reasons that there was a manual check.
Of course, if the game gets as big as we all want it to be, manual checking may simply not fly. I guess they may have to rely on some standard swear filters and then a reporting mechanism where people who spot naughty names can tell FD, so FD can sort it out.
