Tea is evil and inferior in every way compared to coffee. You will be destroyed for carrying such a foul substance.


(if there is tea in the game, please tell me there's coffee too!)

There is coffee indeed, and please don't kill me! I can share some Soholian crumpets to go with your coffee cargo! :)

They are totally not containing a deadly virus or sth...

There's coffee and you can mint serious coin delivering it to high industrial systems - it seems it's still a stimulator of choice in 34th century.
 
If it's not in Hyperspace range of Lave it's a fake domain.
Easy check, even parents can do it. Buy them a t-shirt. :D

It's a bit of luck I'm a nice person...

No match for "RIEDQUAT.NET".

So my Commander Name was and is still in place.
FYI it's also my forum name so if you see me don't kill me outright because I sometimes adopted the wrong tone. Sry ^^'

I wasn't able to use my commander name for my forum name :(

I've had a lot of coffee. My trigger finger is twitchy. :D
 
A couple of quick questions.

I'm a beta backer so have not seen how names are used in the multiplayer game. Are forenames allowed? If so how many? And will a player always be displayed as 'Commander <surname>'. E.g. if 'John James Smith' is allowed, would you show-up as Commander Smith by default, or would the full name always be displayed.

Secondly, can we change name again in the future, or is this a one-off chance to alter the name already provided after the KS campaign.

Thanks in advance.

My reserved name is forename, middle name, and surname - and I'd think the whole name would be displayed.
As for your second query - no idea.
 
My commander name is my actual name, so I think I should be changing it (although I am reluctant to).

I wonder if I should change to Commander Commander in homage to Catch 22?

Someone already thought of Commander Commander and had to change their chosen Cmdr name, I think he settled for something Latin, I can't remember.

If you listen to some of the early Lave Radio podcasts Ashley said there was a Commander Commander already. I have no idea who that is, or even if they later said "actually, that was a mistake."

There was a good joke in TV MASH where various Majors introduced each other, leading to something like:

Major
Major
Major
Major
"Seems like we have a major incident here"

The latter, of course, from Hawkeye.

Edit - arrrgh Alien ninja!
 
It will be nice to see more named pilots flying about the place at last.

I hope that FD, if they feel it suitable, post some of the rejected names. It could be highly amusing. :)
 
This is damn fine news! Roll on Friday! Can't wait to see all those new names. Glad to be rid of the numbers.

Pity one can't change your name for a bit without losing rights to the old one.
 
Has anyones chosen name actually showed up on their account now as in instead of the alpha backer number? or will it not change until friday?
 
From the bridge of a Federation starship into a small cramped Sidewinder. A bit of a step back, but he's ALIVEEE.
 
Not sure if I want to change my name that I got accepted in the kickstarter/backers app days .. but it probably wouldn't hurt as I can't (and have never have) see(n) anyone using the name "Luniticisi" :) maybe reserving another name might be good ... Hmmmmm:S

You can't reserve a second name. If you request a new one it will replace your original one, unless you buy a second version of the game I guess.
