Well, Notch did donated to the Kickstarter and as far as I know, most of KIckstarter funders got a name in the game.

I too, had Notch in my team. He was a bug (mantis).

I laughed too loud when I noticed the coincidence, heh.
FTL graphics are pixelated/messy?
Find the game's settings.ini file and add 'swapTexture=1' there. Said file should be in [steam directory]/steamapps/common/ftl
Hope that helps! C:

Probably. It's in the 'extra' set of human names, which I assume are ones for kickstarter backers.
Love FTL? Wish you could fly around in the USS Enterprise, the Tardis, or a ship that looks just like your own face? Check out FTLEdit, a ship editor for FTL, so you can create your own custom ships and play them!
Don't forget to share them too! :)

As far as most of us can tell, all names share the same list.

Notice how there's two sets of male and female names, the second set after

I believe this is an incomplete feature; despite there being a human name list, all names come from that list (or the female list, if female).

I figure we will see alien name lists in an update.

I saw Notch on his twitter say some things about the game, and how he likes to play it.

Also, he wrote about how many people were writing him to tell him stories of horrible ways their "Notch" had died in game.

I'd say it's a very very safe bet that the Notch in game is based off of the Notch in real life, in direct connection with his kickstarter contribution to the game.
