lol...for mine, there was a glitch and it took two days.  Right when I thought it wasn't happening, BING, there it was.

Basically, I think it reads our mind and messes with us.

Mine showed up right after I paid, I must be special

Okay, maybe not

Ok, silly question... Is there a way of 'upgrading' from one founder's version to another? I... may have changed my mind and want more!

To upgrade edition, maybe it involves some kind of cancellation/refund of the basic preorder and paying for the Elite option later. But in any case, mailing sales about it as Weidbrewer said is the best thing to do first.

I too like the medallion, now time will see if it will gain us respect from the galactic plebs.

Just posting to see my medal, really.

AFAICT, no stated limits on name length, I'm sure comeone will try to push the envelope. (Not me: 14 character name.)

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I have done exactly that and waiting for their reply/refund. (It's a lot of money to pay upfront, but hopefully won't be disappointed, since GalCiv is my favourite of all time and was gonna buy the expansion packs anyway... ) 

Indeed, which is why I changed my mind about which version I want!

nothe when every day you have to deal with a bunch of idiots trying to put "HitlerXKondomz" as Gamertags, you can forgive them if they thought "Fort Gay" wasn't an actual place"

I played GalCiv II when it was out.

Then I moved onto... other stuff (I left a clue for you).

Then I saw GalCiv III announcement. I was wildly interested. I went straight for the pre-order page.

Then I saw the Elite version availability.

Then I saw the price.

Then I went back to the Regular Preorder.

Then I glanced at the features of the Elite Version. Just, you know, to see what these suckers would claim is worth sixty bucks.

Then I saw you could name a star.

Then I spent a friggin hundred bucks.

Guys, can't wait for the alpha. Ascalteia will be my star, and it's gonna bring you good fortune.

ChicknAfraid out.

Ironically this is probably cheaper than your usual scam 'star registry' website, AND you get an actual GAME with your purchase.

A wise investment indeed!

Up until you have to take over said star system because well you know, the galaxy needs conquering.

Hmm. You know, it just occured to me that we could get the same effect by modding the game. Granted, other people wouldn't see our star names, but so what?

Too bad I don't have a girlfriend: the whole idea of naming a star after her sounds like a good tactic.

Yay, this is the second game that goes Alpha "soon" - gonna have to fork some cash for a new PC now...
