Squadron naming.

Hello folks!

While we can't divulge any additional information about Squadrons at this time, we can clarify a few things concerning the Squadron name reserve emails:

Any player group (not player minor faction) that registered with us prior to the 1st of August, 2018 was contacted to reserve their Squadron name prior to the Q4 update (which consequently introduces Squadrons.)

If you haven't received an email from us but did register with us (via this form), then it could mean that your player group details are out of date. We would strongly recommend you update your details with us by contacting us at community@frontier.co.uk. You might be asked to provide previously-registered details to confirm your identity, so be prepared for that!

Hope that clears up a few things!


hello, i have contacted this email a few days ago. awaiting a reply. what is the threshold of an out of date faction? ours is quite active and has been in game for years so it surprised me when support told me it was out of date as i haven‘t received correspondence about updating any information. are you able to share the criteria so pmcs can avoid this in the future please?
 
I have replied to Frontier via the squadron naming email to ask, if the ‘carrier ship’ will have our chosen name embedded perminantly on the ships sides. And, if any other designation such as “squadron” is added by default. Will update upon reply

Seems that not everyone got that email. Only selected groups apparently.
E-Mail from FD said:
As your Player Group was established before the 1st of August 2018, we're giving you the opportunity to reserve one Squadron name for when the Squadrons update is released in the Q4 Elite Dangerous - Beyond update.
I think the requirement is to have registered with FD before the 1st of August 2018. If you have had your player group in-game since before August 2018, then I suspect you will get (or should have got) an e-mail.

what if i need to receive again email because my account was frozen due to inactivity (i use it only for elite dangerous and i not need to use mail in the last months) just active now as i see that post.
I dont know frozen mail account work, if i can still able to receive mail or simply all mail i receive douring this time are lost forever.
 
STILL NO EMAIL ! :mad:[mad]:mad:[mad]

Well, did you email them?
 
It's a pity they didn't do a mini beta and just sent invites to PMF's to log in and generate their Squadron names - that way you could see if it names it with "squadron" at the end or not, plus how long a name you could have, plus how easy it is to correct spelling mistakes.

True mr cOOky, I have sent off an email to see if the good people of Frontier can enlighten us. :cool:

Have some Flimley points. \o/

I know how to read mate. You on the other hand, i m not so sure if you can get the idea. Countless groups submitted the group form prior submitting the PMF form. And i suspect countless of them were submited BEFORE 1st of August, and i m one of them with no email. But ofc you cant understand that, because that would mean that you cant defend them on this, like you always do, so.. i understand.
Just dont point out the obvious like you are some kind of smart and others are idiots, because it doesnt go that way.
 
It’s possible that the Emails will be sent out in batches? I’m venturing a guess that it’s logistically easier for Frontier. However, that’s just a logical guess. I have no information to substantiate that.

Have received an update from Mr Will F, which reads as below. So will update the OP.

The term ‘Squadron’ will be used in context where Squadrons are concerned so adding ‘Squadron’ at the end of your Squadron name seems redundant.

Many thanks Will

Not that I'm intending to found one, but I'd love to see a Squadron named SWAIN (Squadron Without An Interesting Name). I'd join that.
 
Some "cool" names for squadrons for you chaps/esses to consider

--{\<>/}-- I think if there are squadron names with this in them they should get negative flimey points and be given short shrift..
 
Hey C00ky, Let’s not forget the name that will be denied to many sad Cmdr’s due to unparalleled popularity ....

Hmm.. good that you asked, i was about to do that also. And thats close, but not exactly the answer i was looking for..
I just want to know if there will be pre-installed "Squadron" prefix at squadron names. Also, would be very useful to know what are the context's where that name is used..
