I too would like to know!
Pocket money prices though, is somewhat different to 1000's of dollars, sometimes asked.
I agree about 'lots of' when it comes to stocking fillers ...
Real sew on patches of the elite ranks, might be interesting one I sometimes think too.
(Do youngsters do sewn on patches any more? 2000AD turned 40 yesterday, back then patches were the mutt's!)
I suppose you could officially make it to Llanfair pg
Speaking of cool things, Would it be possible to pass on to the development and marketing team about potentially.. either offering a variety of fonts/typefaces for hull ship names? Either as a store purchase add on or a selection for free upon nameplate purchase?
I'd like to know about this too

Some of you just look for something to complain about. You get to name your ship for free, which others will see. If you want vanity plates that mostly only you will see than yeah you will pay. This company is here to make money... to pay staff, if they make smiles along the way what a bonus. If you can't afford to game don't play, go to work.
I should imagine it is like decals- You buy a nameplate once and its available for all ships
But only that style of nameplate, and not the other styles too
I bet Hello Games are doing very well financially. Probably even better than FD.
Even activision sales cosmetics and in game currency and emotes for Destiny.
I've noticed on the ship skins that at least some if not all i think have a serial/registration ID on them some place so we're all currently flying about with the same ID painted on the ship
Will the name decals take their place? I'd have liked a unique ship ID system like aircraft to indicate origin/faction or whatever rather than our commander names showing without a detailed scan but whatever I'm happy just being able to name my ships, just curious is all

OK, i'm gonna say this again, because people refuse to listen.
Elite Dangerous is a full priced game. It is NOT F2P. Same for Horizons. Did you get them for free? No, you paid for them.
THIS is where a game development company makes it's money.

They are now, after release. Before the game was released they were a 13 member strong team working on an absolute shoestring. Maxed out credit cards and all.
I know Murray is a massive liar, but he said HG received no financial help from Sony at all.
I want furry dice too but I think they'd be next to impossible to actually hang in most cockpits (as a physical representation).
However, I'd settle (and pay) for a holographic projection of furry dice.
It does seem just a little steep to require us to pay for a nameplate, but ok. I assume we're talking about £2 or so. I think free would be better for, say, a default white Arial font. After that, if you want the flaming, gothic font that lights up in the dark, charging for that would be fine.
You don't have to pay for any cosmetic item from the store do you?
The point is that it shouldn't be a paid cosmetic to begin with.

Why not?
Yes... but when you like the game and want to support it, you pay.
But really, the game need more module, more weapon, more customisable ship part. More mission, more interaction...
Because it's a basic feature that many other games, including F2P games, give you for free. Because 'ship naming' implies an actual name on your ship hull. Because Elite and Horizons are full price. Because ship customization is a core tenet of the game and locking pretty much every visual customization behind a paywall really hurts that aspect of the game.
I wouldn't have a problem with paid fancy fonts like comic sans or something, but locking basic block lettering behind a paywall is a scummy move.
I just want to advise everyone that I have already reserved USS Enterprise
