Sounds Good to me
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.

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?
The recruitment team are filling the vacancies as quickly as possible.

... 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.
Will names be limited, ie you can't have the same name as someone else?

'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?
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.
