They used to lure people out to Hollywood with the promise of "your name in lights," and Elite Dangerous has an offer that's nearly as good - the chance at having your name immortalised in the space game as the name of a location when Elite Dangerous: Odyssey launches later this year.

Frontier announced that it has opened entries for a drawing that will see five names drawn at random and used as place names in the upcoming expansion, Odyssey. 'The PCGamesN Nebula' has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? The developer will be accepting entries until January 22, at which point it will select five random names - and throw out any that are objectionable and redraw, if necessary. This is a smart clause to include; after all, this is the same internet that has come up with names like 'Boaty McBoatface' and told Fall Guys what to name its new hazards.

To enter, head over to the Elite forums on Frontier's website - you'll find all the relevant information there, including a link to the Google form you'll use to submit your entry (Frontier recommends that you submit your own surname, but you're not required to use that). You'll need a Google account to participate in the contest.
