Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous
I appear to be Commander Chuck Schwammerl (long story).

Nope, NPC name yet to be approved. Ashley is still working on them, expected to be finished with the first round tomorrow from what I understand.JazHaz wrote:My Commander JazHaz has been approved. Still got cogs against my NPC name though. Has anyone got theirs approved yet?

You're taking this too well. Or is it just a deception... Beware namestealer-Cody!El Viejo wrote:Mine was disapproved, so I wish whoever grabbed it first all the best!
On a serious note, whoever took the name must have seen that you are Cody in Frontier Forums, so taking it is just plain rude. Unless his real name happens to be Cody...
So, shall we see El Viejo in the E: D universe?

I don't give a monkey's cojones! Yes, it would have been nice to use my ancient and honourable commander name, but I knew I was way down the list.Zieman wrote:You're taking this too well. Or is it just a deception... Beware namestealer-Cody!
But whoever it was that grabbed it had better be bloody worthy of such a distinguished name! Unlikely, I'd say!
After reading that forum for the last month, I'll stick to single-player mode, I think. You won't be seeing me as EV... anywhere!Zieman wrote:So, shall we see El Viejo in the E: D universe?

Remember there are also player groups. Most players will probably never see Cdr Gimi, people from this BB might though.El Viejo wrote:I don't give a monkey's cojones!

So, before throwing in that particular towel, please give multi player in groups a go.

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous
Also went with the boring but predictable submission of Commander Tricky.
NPC name is my full real name and has been accepted: Richard Thomas Harrison

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous
I agree. I think it would be cool to have a bunch of Ooliteers to launch a "serious" expedition together, co-operating to get as far as possible beyond the frontier.Gimi wrote:Remember there are also player groups. Most players will probably never see Cdr Gimi, people from this BB might though.

That could tempt me, I'll admit... but I gotta work my way up from a Sidewinder first (whatever a Sidewinder is in that game).Zieman wrote:I think it would be cool to have a bunch of Ooliteers to launch a "serious" expedition together, co-operating to get as far as possible beyond the frontier.

They should have added 'silliness' or 'stupidity' to the proscribed list of name-types.Tricky wrote:The reasons 99% of names were rejected...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous
I've got my commander name (xzanfr) accepted which isn't much of a surprise! In fact I'd have been more surprised if it was rejected as it's a spelling mistake that I'm pretty sure no one else would want it.
I also got the NPC character name of "Edwards & son" accepted - which represents my dad teaching me to play elite back in the day on our borrowed BBC B.
I'm not sure if its just me but I find the frontier forums a bit daunting - I'm well used to forums from both the lurker to an admin (from all manner of stuf like X2 and Lego), but they just feel really unfriendly over there. I know that there is quite some time till the game gets going, and I'll probably get to know people more, but right now I don't want to play multiplayer with anyone. It's actually bringing me down a bit about the game (however I've just made deadly on oolite which has numbed the blow a little )

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous
There are so many (over-)excited people around the Frontier forums. Even so, the place feels pretty friendly to me, compared to some other corners of the Net.
