Items one would buy from a cash shop without gaining an advantage. (Anti-subscription thread)

Nose/tail art
Ship name
Engine fume colour
Decals
Engine tuning (are you flying an onionhead cobra? Make it sound batpoo crazy)
Ship light colour
Computer voice change - I'd go for a vocoder Cylon type ship voice (by your command)
Sponsor a station entrance message "family filtered ofc"

I'll add a few more as I think of them...

I would love to see some tasteful 'Cheesecake' nose art - which could be implimented as a specific decal location.
Ship name would be another good idea, and possibly a 'pay to change' sort of thing. This would prevent people changing the name of their ships on a whim, either to get past bounties or creep up on the same player they have been stalking.
More decals are sorely needed. Although I am not any rank in any faction, and therefore don't know if it already exists, but I expect there are plenty of people that would pay once for a "Faction Rank" decal set that they can upgrade as their rank goes up. PP faction decals would also surely be something that could be added to the game, perhaps also paint jobs [like the anime skins shown previojusly, but with the faction leaders on them.]
Computer voice, well you either need Majel Barrett [Star Trek, voice of the Enterprise computer and various Federation computers from 1967 to 2005, sadly passed away in 2008], Peter Tuddenham [Voice of Zen, Orac, and Slave from BBC's "Blake's 7" TV series, also unfortunately passed away in 2007.], John Leeson [voice of classic "Doctor Who" 's robotic dog, K-9], or Douglas Rain [Voice of the H.A.L.9000 computer from "2001: A Space Odyssey"].
 
Is it new flavour of the month? I mean finding ways to monetize ED?
"Oh noes, ED funding is not enough, let's make a subscription model!"
"Oh noes, subscription model is not for me, let's make cash shop with megablasters and a Death Star"
"Oh noes, it's too F2P, let's just sell some useless crap, that everybody likes".

What is going on here? Is it summer's sun heating your heads?

If they could adapt iRacing's model, & make it actually work for this game. Sure I'd subscribe. But this game isn't really designed for it.

Who knows. Why everyone seems to think that 78 page "what if" threads are a good use of time is beyond me...
 
I would like to Buy my own outpost for real world money,a place to store my ships and equipment or maybe your own outpost could be a power play faction reward.
 
items for actual cash can't really modify gameplay under FD's current model so no space stations etc. Though there are plenty of suggestions for how to implement player owned stations without it being real cash ....not gonna happen either way though.


I'd like to purchase physical models of the ships so I can have my FDL and Anaconda next to my Serenity and Galactica ships. Or maybe sell them in model form and I can build it myself to save FD in labor costs to keep prices down of the model.

in-game items? Anaconda paint jobs. Different ship voices. Decals.
 
I think ED need a lot of ability to customize you ship INTERIOR. Those damn ships are almost our second home... Some of us spend few hours daily looking on same generic boring cockpit.. Just look how TIR truck cabins looks like... Those drivers feels exactly as we in our ships. (yeah I know it's just a game xD)
I'm giving big + for every random crap that can make me feel in my ship like in home..even for real money.

what summer? where?
 
Every ship in this game looks like it just came off the production line id like some skins that make it look old and battered without having to worry about hull degradation. This may already be in the game but thought id put it out there.
