Am I right in thinking you had to back the kickstarter to have "Jameson" feature in your CMDR name?

[FrogsFriend]

I think people are misunderstanding the 'reserved-name' Kickstarter option. That just reserved the name before the original release on PC, so that you could start the game with that name. Once the game was released then anybody could use any name they wanted as long as it wasn't in use by another player. The Jameson part just allowed people the same reservation, but on a name with Jameson in it.

Obviously the later Xbox and Playstation releases meant that there could be three people simultaneously using any particular name.

It didn't grant anybody perpetual use of the reserved name or exclusivity across platforms.

This guy gets it. Well put.

That didn't stop Starbuck in BSG!

I'm still waiting to meet myself in the game as I paid for the "have your name in the database" perk.
I've seen him pop up in a random YouTube video. After 3 and half years he's still harmless and in a Sidewinder - what a loser

So in leiu of Unikorn's new name I changed my GT to 'Lori Jameson'. I can't believe that it wasn't taken!

You actually did it?

That's brilliant.

It's possible now

Everything is a matter of interpretation in the kickstarter

Can someone explain what is so special about "jameson"? The stupid interwebs keep sending me to whiskey sites. -_-

TLDR version?

TLDR version?

The original Commander name that everyone played in the original game.

Yes, you played as a CMDR Jameson in a few of the earlier Elite games, relatives of each other. The engineer Lori Jameson in-game is also supposed to be related to the original CMDR Jameson.



Also worth checking out this thread about CMDR Jameson's crashed Cobra discovered in Elite Dangerous!

Also note the Cobra that's even more unique than the wireframe. Yes, that's really my paintjob.
