Is there a confirmed currency name/should we create one until then?

[Evil_Porcupine]

So, as you can probably tell from the name of the topic, is there currently a confirmed name for the in game currency? I feel like this information(if it exists) should be more widespread as currently I see it refered to as many different things, even by myself.

 

Also, if the all seeing all knowing replies section does not know of any definitely confirmed (citations for sources please), may I suggest that as a community we start referring to the currency as GALACTIC UNITS (or units for short). If this post gets enough up votes which would suggest that we do need to decide on a currency name if one doesn't already exist, I will put a poll out on the forums with suggestions for the name, and let the community take it from there!

Galactic Units is straight cheese.

 

You can rest assured much thought will be put into the naming of the most commonly used assets.

 

For instance, in Eve, ISK stands for InterStellar Kredits. Makes sense, and rolls off the tongue nicely.

Coming up with equally strong names and acronyms is not as easy as it may first seem.

This I why I made this post, for people to suggest things.

But in my opinion, the money will be usually DACs and in-game items.

[Halo381]

At the GDC event, JC said the in-game currency would be Quanta. As in, the plural form of Quantum. 

[Lethys]

It's quanta (plural form of an energy scale)

Not "space bucks" then?

[Anasasi]

"Space Dollarydoos".

But no, the guys who stated Quanta above are right, that was announced in the GDC meetup
 

[Lights]

unless theres a mass scale vote to change the name of the currency, it will remain quanta  as stated by JC 

[Kuritho]

Of course trade/materials will be above everything else.

[Aesras]

"Space Dollarydoos".

I am sold on "Space Dollarydoos" but unfortunately it is Quanta

[Wardion2000]

It may be "quanta" but unofficially I say we should call them "Quatloos".

Make me feel like a gangsta... yo... doggity doo... a space gangsta... pew pew

 

I actually quite like Quanta though, seems unique. 

[Caesares]

I am almost certain that they have decided for there to be one central currency. How it will work, and it's name remains a mystery.

Its name is not a mystery we know that we have two currencies Quanta and DAC xD

Totally knew this

 

Thank you, I had no idea TBH, and thought what I was saying was true...

[Lord_Void]

The currency will be called "Quanta". And DACs are not really currency, they are more items that can be bought and sold, or used to barter with. 

[AccuNut]

So, next question is: what will the symbol for "Quanta" look like? I would guess it will be some kind of fancy letter "Q" but it would be nice to know for sure.

Ah, well...small issue. We will probably see some ideas for it in update videos.

[Begogian]

How about something like this? Any of them can be altered or changed. Just took a couple fancy Qs with the top money symbol designs.

[Warden]

Quanta?

 

Pff. The currency should be called "Doggos"!

 

Space Doggos! (SD)

 

I will pay with 1000 (space) Doggos!

 

 

No? Fine. Jeez. Party poopers, y'all.
