When I see STL in a sci-fi context I immediately think Slower Than Light travel, which Stellaris most certainly will not be associated with given the distances involved.

I'm kind of partial to Stella myself.
 
STL would seem the obvious one, with SLR as second choice ?
 
S Te Llaris

I did get the reference, but for me STL is the Standard Template Library. Although the TLA for STL is STD, anyways I much prefer Stella or Stellaris. Or even Stly :)
 
If I say to someone in Belgium I played Stella, they're going to think I went mad. Only naming your game Heineken could be worse !

A stellar point, neither of those concoctions deserve to be consumed by anyone.
 
Since it's just one word, why not take the first and the last letter in it? That way nobody will ever be able to mistake it for any other acronym. "Man, SS is the best thing ever!"

But to be serious I think St would work quite well.
 
It would have been easier if it had been stellar universalis, could have had SU.
 
Stella sounds best. It gives the games name some life. A personality even..What am I saying. I hope someone gets my point. :confused:
