Moonbound?

I was sat here thinking about Starbound and then all of a sudden it hit me, Why isn't Starbound called Moonbound?
I see this as the only logical thing for this game to be called as you can never visit others stars but you can visit other moons.

So i propose that Chucklefish officially change Starbound to Moonbound.

Definition of Star as given by google.

A fixed luminous point in the night sky which is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun.
synonyms: celestial body, heavenly body, sun; asteroid, planet, planetoid; literaryorb
"the sky was full of stars"

So the name does make sense. Besides even if they wanted to change the name it would cause too many problems this far in.

How can you say "you can never visit others stars but you can visit other moons"? It's perfectly possible to visit other stars as far as it is healthy, this is by visiting other planetary systems. If you expected to literally visit a star as you can visit a moon, then wait until Tiy says ("we're implementing the "somehow unlikely" possibility to land on stars").

I don't really see anything wrong with the name.

 

You can't walk on a sun unless you are valkyrie so become one first

 

Because GeorgeV would want to Harvest Moonbound, and Tiy raised some strong objections to adding "waifus" to the game.
Upon hearing this, GeorgeV consoled himself by creating a status in his own honor, and then biding his time until the next opportunity to present his great idea.

 

FTFY

 

I didn't say that >_>

 

That's why s/he fixed it for you

 

The argument you are making only makes sense if you wanted the game to be called Planetbound. I still like Starbound better tho because it sounds the best, and technically, visiting the planets around a star is basically visiting the star itself.

 

i like this guy he knows whats up

 

A poor joke but I guess there has to be at least one person who would laugh. The world is big enough for it.

 

Careful, now. The world is sensitive about its weight.

 

Okay that one was witty and good. Better than the basis of this thread.

 

You are visiting the sphere of influence of the stars to get to the planets in the first place.

 

Maybe planetoids/satellitesbound.

 

on the serious side:
is everyone forgetting the fact that starbound sounds already cooler than any other name we can try to give it?
on the completely non-serious side:
we shudz naems it spaiz baund becz there ar alut of spicez in planets and alzo itzth hppinz in zpaic

su kul idea i kno

 

Is Star Wars a battle between big balls of reacting gas? Is Phantasy Star Online about people sharing their sexual dreams of being subjected to multimillion degrees of heat? Is Starcraft a RTS game about making ethereal objects?

 

That's some kinky shit.
