User’s Guide- Elite: Dangerous Web App

NPC Sex (no, not what you're thinking!)

I was deliberating what to put in as my chosen NPC Name and it struck me that whatever I put it'll be up to the Frontier team to judge whether I mean it to be male or female. It would have been nice to also be able to choose M or F (or H for hermaphrodite maybe :p)
 
There may be a reason why they haven't just posted the web link here. And just in case they have, and obviously others here have got in and haven't posted the link either, I will only say this:

I never received the e-mail either but if you have a look at the comments on the KS page you will see a method of gaining access even without the e-mail.

Sorry if I have said more than I should but that's all I did. I would imagine they are staggering the e-mails to avoid crashing their systems.
 
The form states that once a name has accepted it cannot be changed. I would interpret this as "yes, then can change it but no, they won't!".

Thanks Memnoch,
:eek:
Not sure why I didn't see that text to start with - must've been too excited!
It's actually quite clear that it cannot be changed.
Better make it good first time then!

I've been really boring and chosen my real name. But I guess the idea behind this is that until it has actually been approved you can come back and change it as many times as you wish. I suspect though that you might keep getting put to the back of the queue each time you do it so think hard folks!
 
is it case sensitive for example would

eliteTRADER

stay as eliteTRADER or would it be changed to Elitetrader in-game?

ps. i not going to have eliteTRADER btw
 
the app looks pretty good,
I do have 1 question.
I can name an NPC. but should there not be a button where I can say if the NPC I name is male or female ?
sex :
:cool: male
:p female
 
website App crashed a few times but finally updated!!!

Just for reference, not every country has a postcode/zip code. Here in Ireland we don't but XXX XXX as a Zip seems to work ok.
 
Hmm, did not receive an email. :(
Are they still sending them out?
I pledged a small fortune and I'm starting to get worried now...
 
Just got my email and all updated. I used my real name for the NPC it will be nice to be immortalised! I won't say my commander name in case an earlier pledger fancies it. :p

In addition to the t-shirt size question I would like to know if you get a choice of concept art or will one be selected at random? Please say we get to choose!

Also the tool tip pop-ups do not work in Chrome! Had to log in via IE to see them.

Nor I.

Depending in the system they're using, it's quite possible for an email to 25,681 people to take several hours to send to everyone. Most bulk email systems throttle how quickly the emails are sent out.

Well, why restrict it to NPC ? I'd like to have the option to choose Male or Female for my PC as well (rember there is not even a possibility to tell FD your gender).

I have a different question: Is there a time restriction (apart from Alpha, Beta and Final release date) for any of the upgrades ? I'm thinking about switching to DDF but would want to wait latest until about mid-April.
 
For Commander's name: Would an ICAO tactical call sign be appropriate? I've used the same for the last 10 years till retirement and would like to "immortalize" it.

:cool:
