PS4 release and the Kickstarter backers

It is possible that this is an already answered question, but here goes anyway.
I backed ED on day one of the Kickstarter and I ended up pledging quite a lot of money. Don't get me wrong for a second - I did it because I wanted to see this game and I've played and enjoyed it on the PC.
I'd very much like the opportunity to play on the PS4 too.
I'm assuming the fact we backed the project doesn't mean we'll just get given a copy on PS4 - but has their been any talk of discounts to those that did back?

I am also NOT interested in bringing a commander save over from the PC version. However I would very much like to retain my commander name which I reserved during kickstarter and of course there were the choice of "starting ships, position and inventory" that were open to me on the PC because of my Kickstarter backing.
Is there any talk of at least being able to use those on the PS4 platform?

A negative on any/all of the above won't stop me buying - was just kind of hoping there might be some "carrots" for those people who helped, just a little bit, in getting this project live.

To answer you other question. CMDR names are pretty much 100% guaranteed to be your PSN id. So if your CMDR name is free on PSN I suggest you open a PSN account with it. If it is not then. :(

I believe you can still do this without a PlayStation if you don't have one yet. If you do you can just create a new account on your PS4 to match what commander name you want (as long as the PSN id is free).
