So lets get this straight.. Our commander names are no longer unique?

What madness is this?

PC and Xbox accounts are stored separately so using the same CMDR name for both isn't a problem, nor is different players on different platforms having the same CMDR name. The only restriction is that all CMDR names must be unique per platform.

You what?

So if I have this right, whilst we all share the same galaxy our commander names are now only unique to each platform (i.e. xbox, PC, PS4, linux, etc..).

Without being rude I'd like to point out that many of us paid to reserve our commander names for the game. Shouldn't our commanders be unique to the galaxy?

It is unique, on the platform you play.

You paid to reserve your name for the PC game, you name is unique in the PC game, the contract of reservation and supply is complete.

Although this is a much better thread than some of the others on the forum, it isn't really that interesting or important.

Rubbish, ED was concieved as PC game. So I'm out exploring and come across a system I have yet to visit, only to find that I have actually visited it, because its got my name on it, even though I've never been there before.

OUr commander name identifies us in the game.. This is idiotic. [wacko]

Quoted from Kickstarter:

Reserve your Commander name in the game (first come, first served, except Jameson)

I'll point out aside from shafting people who made the project possible this also makes it rather confusing.. I'll enjoy having a three way conversation about the game with the other commnaders of my name on reddit when they finish off the ps4 version. :rolleyes:

On Xbox One the Commander name is their gamertag, which isn't controlled by us.

Not surprised that the different platforms allow the same cmdr name. What does surprise me, Greatly I would say, is that there is any sort of crossover such as you describe. Can we really see Discovered By tags from XBox and later PS4? For one thing I was really hoping for a Fresh new galaxy when (if) PS4 comes along. It doesn't apply to things like CGs, right? Or Powerplay? I'm not matched against them in CQC.

Surely there is some mistake here??!? FD?
