What to name the star, don't think it will be after someone wonder when the name will need to be decided by.

What I really wonder, do they give a second chance if the first suggestion doesn't pass? I mean is the system going to be automated, or does someone just receive a lot of email and decide which one is good and which one isn't?

Despite I did get Elite Founder, I don't think I will name a star. For some reason I don't think I can come up with one that would sound good and make Stardock happy at the same time .

If your name gets rejected, you'll likely just have to resubmit it.

However if you 'abuse' the resubmission process, you might lose the right to name your star. If you make an innocent mistake that's ok. If you try to pass HiterXKondomz by adding numbers at the end.... yeah probably not.

It's probably a good idea to try an adhere to the Xbox Gamertag rules which encompass a lot of 'common sense' things. Though you'd be shocked at how many people try to do incredibly stupid things.

I typed www.galciv.com and ended up here.

Does that mean that the original GalCiv site is no longer accessible?

I never played the original game myself but I thought there was still at least a little traffic there.

Oh well. Hopefully this site will match that of the GalCiv2 community in its heyday.

Yay, I've just bought GalCiv III, so another happy owner here I think Stardock needs a bit more noise about the game, I've been a huge fan of both GalCiv 2/3 for years (still playing GC2 Ultimate) and I found out they were working on GC3 by mere chance

Mainly playing GC2 and Civ5 for the time being, but I'm curious about Distant Worlds, looks huge and complex, just how I like them, I'd rather play one hugely complex map/scenario for, say, 2 weeks rather than a simple one a day, so much more rewarding...

Does anyone remember Imperium Galactica? Now, I'd love to see that one reincarnated

I see. The only thing that changed is the use of www.galciv.com to go here as opposed go to a selection between GalCiv1 and GalCiv2.

Hey Mumble! Good to see you in the new forums!  

Oh, what about a star named Pun, it would either be a punishment or very punny to name a star Pun in honor of all bad jokes.

It brings back great memories to see people like Lucky Jack and Mumblefratz again.  Of course it may have been me who's been away from the forums

I'm a tad concerned actually about the 'naming' rights the moer I think about it.

One would 'hope' that people would not spend $100 to purposely troll the naming system, but Greenlight showed that even $100 is not a barrier to some people with certain mental deficiencies.

Also being an American company (I'm referring this as a purely cultural reference, not to the stereotype that American are 'stupid') it will be hard to filter out foriegn names/words/places that would be immediately offensive to people of other cultures, but would seem ok in English. Even in English, you can have quite a few minefields. Port Arthur 'sounds' kinda ok, until you talk to an Australian. Or any number of other things.

I just hope there aren't any bad apples trying to wiggle their way into the naming rights system.

Maybe if a list was released fo all the approved names? Then the community could give it a once over? Dunno. Just thinking out loud.

I haven't seen anything, I think it will be a while before the system goes out.

You should probably contact stardock support about your e-mail; or maybe you can change it logged into the website, I don't know.
