Planetary Naming System Add-On

Is there any chance we can get a $50 planetary naming add-on for all levels? It would let the all-digital tiers be given that as an option and hey, every $50 helps hit that Galactic Warfare stretch goal

I'm so excited for this game, it's going to be a long year!

I added a poll to see if any other backers are interested in the planetary name add-on.

If they added this now, it would be a bit unfair for those who pledged $150. It would also potentially dilute the naming pool so much you'd almost never see your name.

Hows about we can just Ctrl+N planets when we conquer them?

History is written by the victor, after all...

I'm not sure that I agree with your viewpoint that it would be unfair to those pledging $150, they're getting everything from the $100 level [and below] in addition to the planetary naming system entry.

If I'm backing at the $90 all-digital level and want the planetary add-on for $50, I'm still not getting all of the physical nicknacks at the $150 level and ultimately have paid the same $50 for the name add-on.

From an economic stand-point, all of the physical items, plus labor and shipping costs of getting the packages to us will certainly result in the $90 all digital pledge + $50 planetary add-on netting more money to the cause than the $150 pledge. Now you can argue that these costs will occur closer to shipping and be inconsequential, but those type of things do take time and upfront money to get rolling. Especially given they're going to want to ship the packages around the same time as the game is released if they want to keep the backers happy.

Regarding the dilution of the naming system, that's a valid enough point, but there's no limit on $150 donations as is. If that's really a concern just limit it to $90+ pledge levels.
