'Name a Star' Question

from GalCiv3 Forums

What format will the name be in the final game, what other words will it wedged in on the label. The reason I ask, is let's say I submit 'Venessa Star' but because the word star will be a default word after any name it might come out as 'Venessa Star Star' or something bad looking like that. I wasn't sure about punctuation, does that mean I cant use a ' apostrophe? I wanted to submit ' Venessa's Star ' but I wasn't sure if that would be breaking one or more conditions, and also wasn't sure what other words would be paired up with it on the final label. just some clarification from a dev would be helpful.

 

ps. Venessa is the name of my wife (newlyweds) and thought it would be a fun thing to name a star after her, that's why I want to try to get this as right as possible. Also would it be too much to ask, if you could make her star Purple, because that is her favorite color.

So far as we have seen in the Alpha, when you mouse over a star the word "star" is not added, nor is it added anyplace else I can find, so it looks like what you wish to do will work. However, the rules still say no punctuation (other than spaces), so I guess the apostrophe is out.

In looking at how the list was shipped in the Alpha builds, there is no way to associate a star name from the list of star names to any other characteristic of a star at this time. What StarDock chooses to do in the future is anyone's guess.
