I would have rather seen your player faction name in the hud, but maybe having Big Di.. Cutters flying around was more what majority needed.
Ill take 10 plates pls, make them golden, thank you!

Ps. There is a profanity filtering with ship names?

Cocalarix (I never did find out if I pronounce your name right?),

You will be able to name your ship and that will show in the HUD and in multicrew game UI. To add the name to your hull, you will need to pick up a name plate from the store.

Hope that helps.

Its sounds Good. Fine for me. I cant wait ship naming!

Shipnames will be unique or not unique? I mean only one ship in same name.
Will we be able to change name at any moment?

Rebel factions appear to have obtained secret information regarding the naming of ships and adding those names to Commanders’ hulls.

We can confirm that this information is correct and naming of ships is a feature that will be added to Elite Dangerous: The Commanders (2.3). Everyone will be able to rename their ship for free in game and there will also be the option to purchase cosmetic name plates which will allow Commanders the ability to display that name on your ship’s hull via a special decal. These additional features will be made available in the near future with a catalogue of designs. We’re looking forward to seeing you display your ship names with pride.

I can also confirm that the character limit for ship naming is determined by width.

Have a good evening.

Sounds good.

But please get them out the door early. Don't want to sit around for 6 months waiting for an external name plate.

Thanks! :)

Ok, just to be clear.
The stuff in the store is vanity items, that in no way give the buyers any advantage over others.
It will give them a bit of customisation and personal enjoyment, and the added benefit off supporting a great game.
So would you rather be without the store stuff ?.
You can play the game just fine without a special colored cobra with fins.
You can also buy nothing, or just a few things for you'r favorite ship, noone is forcing anyone.

I like the setup a lot as its far from P2W.

I respect others opinion, but again. It's is vanity items. Not really nessesary.

Just enjoy the game with or without.

On the other hand, why not have basic shipnames on the hull for everyone (heck, many here paid over E100 already for just S1 and S2!) and have more extravegant options in the store?

This would have been my expectations, too. I am honestly a little bit disappointed that this won't be how it will work.

Anyway, the question now is: Will we pay ...
- per ship? (This would be new!)
- per ship type? (Like paint jobs and ship kits.)
- or will we buy one "general" plait for all ships? (Like weapon colors)

... This charging for name plates though does seem like one step forward and one step back.

Personally I don't mind because as some of the previous posts have stated, Frontier is a relatively small developer and I believe in their products so I don't mind supporting them, but I understand peoples' frustration.

Depends, if they charge only once and it's usable on all ships and multiple ships at the same time (like the bobble heads), then it's really a very minor thing and I think it's reasonable, even if it cost 10 quid. On the other hand, if we have to spend $15 per ship, that'd be an issue.

I will throw my hat in with the desire for a bland generic and uninteresting looking font being standard on the ship, with better fonts available for purchase.

This too. The fonts should carry over to all ships like decals.

Make a free basic font to ship naming on hull , then sell other design fonts at store.Give us the feature at a basic version without paying extra for it.

Don't turn every feature into a cash cow, i know you would.Make the game F2P get into the Planetside 2 road then... [sour]

I noticed a Union Jack skin I bought for my Cobra didn`t go over to a hauler I bought, to my disappointed. So i`ll bet the nameplate won`t go over either.

Gotta make that moolah.

'resumes banging head against wall'

Yes, i gave FD my money. I paid for Horizons, and all features released during Horizons. I did not get SLF's, SRV's, synthesis, module storage, ship transfers etc. for free.

Where is the free here, exactly?

Keep banging that head on the wall, try a harder wall next time. Anything of value used for any extended period of time requires more funds to keep it useful... remote control toys, motorcycles, cars, houses, boats, airplanes, and this includes video games. If you think about any of the games these days the single fee games last a weekend... maybe a month. We would like this to keep going.
