Ukrainian flag (ship skin) in game

100% support this push. If there are other flags in game there is a discriminatory aspect to NOT including the Ukraine flag ~ and that's completely aside from the gesture of support that it would show
 
So basically your saying you dont want to let the medium of the game to be used in a way that might contribute to doing something to help in the real word- (not that I have any delusions that it will now)- because it's a violation of the lore.. right got it.
Yes, thats exactly what im saying. Do it in another game where earth's geopolitical map is similar. Elite is not the game to be painting ships with flags of countries that have not existed for 1100 years (in game time) on a planet that is one of hundreds like it.
 
+1 for me
arguments about lore are ridiculous, i can 100% guaruntee that all past, present and future flags will still be used in a galaxy of hundreds of trillions
There are plenty of games where europe wasnt destroyed in a world war. Use those games. Elite having 1100 year old flags no one remembers (in lore) is ridiculous. Remove all flag skins. I have never seen even a refrence to any of tge pre WW3 nations so its odd they are included.
 
I also feel the presence of national flags in ED as a something that's a bit miss-placed

This has nothing to do with the OPs request.
But more likely to avoid turning ED into a political tool and a platform for nationalism (and to a lesser extent into a what-about-my-flag thing)

Too late buddy. Plenty of other country flags are already in the game. So obviously the developers don't really agree with your view in the first place ¯\(ツ)

If so, they should add flags for all countries, not only for a very select few *()


*(few, not plenty. 20 flags in game as paintjobs compared with 193 national flags as per UN)
 
Yeah, I see no reason why this flag should be excluded when we have other countries' flags in the game.

But overall I find these requests really strange. Instead of donating money or helping refugees, people support Ukraine with an in-game paintjob? That's not helping, that's patting yourselves on the back. 😒

Well the money could be donated like they have done in Euro Truck2.
Not everyone is able to help directly (i have ex army mates taking trucks of supplies over to Poland as we speak) but we can all do our best to support those in need.

This defo gets my Vote and i would gladly pay for it as i have in other games.

Yeah but those didnt fall 1100-1200 years ago did they? U dont see people painting roman flags on cars and airplanes. Its literally no different.
I’ll just put this here…

Yeah, it's classic clicktivism.

Or, you could just donate some money directly to one of the many charities supporting the cause.

Yes yes we all acknowledge your superior view point, and your most heroic defense of the game purity.
I'm sure there is a gold star in your future.
