Why no Jolly Roger?

[HazardousMatt]

With Piracy being a thing in the game how is it we cannot buy a Jolly Roger flag decal for our ships yet? You know that would sell like crazy! You have a buyer right here, cmon Frontier!

I thought there was a pirate decal? I'm sure I've got a skull one.

Some Jolly Rogers decals of notourious historical pirates would indeed be a good idea.

For trademark reasons my player group calls dibs on these first.

If Jolly Roger is mentioned, Do you get an alarm?[haha]

Seems like a good decal idea to me as well.

Right? This is a serious issue and needs to be brought to the attention of the wonderful Dev team ��

Yes.

(Also if we could have any input on the design I would vote for Calico Jack's Jolly Roger. As a former Sabreur I feel there is room in the Elite universe for swords)

its a childfreindly game and giving people a jolly roger would shift the PG rating too far north

One does not just get given a Jolly Roger.
You make it for yourself and others learn to fear it.

At least that's what it says in the manual.

The artwork already exists for the nameplates, so it should be super easy to make it a decal...

Thats a Season 1 pre-order bonus. You see it at 0:16

As soon as I'd posted I wondered if it was something like that. Ah well.

They can't do, it existed long before Disney did.

You can copyright DNA

Wait what?

Yup. Pirates... spaceships... mice... lions: Disney own them all.

So did round edges, but Apple got away with that one...

Rubbish. I don't think you understand copyright.
