Quick question about naming stuff.

I know everything i write is annoying but uh... is a mod that allows the naming of things like planets or commanders be allowed?
So far Uber hasn't been all fond of that so i wonder if a mod that allows exactly that will be uh... legal... ?

Seeing how only $150+ backers and $250 cosmic edition pre-order..ers are the ones that can choose their planet name generator, I'm pretty sure having the ability to put fixed planet names yourself will not be allowed

Modding community will be very open, though. It's strange that such a simple thing would be out-lawed like that.

It's not very simple since people gave money to have their own planet seed name. It would be ridiculous to allow such a mod to be used

Default planet names will be chosen by backers. It is unknown if those planets will be uniquely designed by the backers as well. Do expect them to be included in the game's official map set.

Commanders will most likely be named by your login alias. The official designation and background of custom Commanders will still be determined by backers.

That's true. Still curious if it's said anywhere if it's not allowed at all. There WILL be people who will want to name their units, commander and planets the way they want regardless.

Also... the Commander names and the planet names people get with the game editions and by backing are unique and are within the base game. While the naming thing would be just a mod. People who wouldn't have the mod would see the names that come with the base game.

Leaving question of it being "allowed" aside. How do you expect them to prevent it?

Creating a mod that changes existing names to different ones is about the most simple thing you can do as a mod, even when the related string files would be encrypted (which would be ridiculous anyway) it would be only a matter of time to crack that to put in new names.

I don't see an issue here anway. Yeah, people got their name in which means they will be there for official games on the official, ie. uber's, servers. Having different names for stuff on your own server which runs the mods you want isn't even an issue. :?

I'm sure you can do whatever you want with regards to modding, the names probably refer to the "standard" uber server planet names.
