Eh, patience. In my last [recent] conversation with Kornel, they were apparently fighting fires like crazy just to even get out of Early Access. All the stuff that we were told in the Kickstarter and expect from the DRL will eventually make its way into the game.
He'd rather do it right than to do it half-assedly, and I respect him for that.
It's also likely that the option to set the "permanent" name will be done in-game via a UI element.
