About these new decals...

No, not a moan... :p

Was just thinking that they'll work well as "Fleet Insignia" badges for ships.

This CG gives us insignia to denote combat ships.
A trade CG will, obviously, give us a trade insignia.

What else though?

Rescue insignia for doing "Escape Pod" CGs? (haven't had one of those for ages, have we?)
AEGIS insignia for doing 'goid-bothering CGs?

They need to come up with Passenger CGs, Mining CGs, Piracy CGs and Exploration CGs (which really need to be a thing) so we can have Insignia for those ships too though.


Anybody got any other hopes, requests or suggestions?
 
i want this as a Decal.

Before we go about coming up with all kinds of decals for all kinds of CG's, and even the "I Got A Decal for Having a Decal Decal" we need somewhere to put them.

Right now we have 3 places to stick a sticker.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd love to have my trade ship look like a vintage suitcase....

Or a warship that looks like some little girl's sticker book... but this isn't something we can do ourselves. Someone on the inside is going to have to help us out here.

More decal locations isn't a bad thing at all.

It's a nice idea but, given that they can't seem to manage to position the current ones in places where they aren't obscured by ship-kit parts, you probably shouldn't hold your breath.

Ideally, it'd be nice if you could pan the camera around your ship and select the location for decals manually.
For those with OCD, they'd just need to add a "mirror" function to ensure the positioning was symmetrical.

And, again, given that they can't seem to manage to get the default locations for decals symmetrical on the T10, that's probably not something that's going to happen soon either. [sad]
 
Obviously I don't have a crystal ball to know what's going to be released. But my assumption is that I would like to have Combat Elite and gold bounty hunting and gold conflict zone stickers on my combat ships. Trade Elite and gold trade sticker on my Cutter. Trade Elite and gold mining on my two mining ships. FD did say they are working on new mechanics to bring back exploration based CGs. So we'll see what happens there, but I have quite a few exploration ships that I'd love to have Exploration Elite and some sort of exploration based CG sticker.

So yeah... basically exactly what Stealthie said in the OP. :)
 
There are new decals?

Currently taking a break from farming Engineer drops – I'm a "lazy gamer."

Anyway, a martini one for the Repair Jaques Station CG would have been nice. Not expecting one, but yeah. Also, maybe DW2 when that gets wrapped up – not expecting one for the CNE nor Stephen Hawking Memorial.

I think it was maybe a couple years ago now, but I remember Ed mentioning that they wanted to do more decals for participating in these sorts of activities in the game. Maybe they're getting around to it now?

Exploration CG's techincally exist.

They are just the most base level junk I've ever seen.


There was one to "Find the lost NPC, they went in this direction, go scan there and bring back the data!"

However... any exploration data, from anywhere at all, counted. Which is stupid and destroys the entire thing for me.



This minor faction is planning on creating a new mining outpost. Scan planets with ring systems, seeking the highest grade of resources. Attempt to find a system which metal rich, metallis, and ice rings, as well as asteroid belts around the sun.

Then, the type of data actually needing to match some of those pre-requisites - preferably within a certain region of the galaxy too.

Or, this scientific group want to study nuetron stars. Scan nuetron stars and bring back the data so they can set up a scientific installation near a nuetron star.

Then you actually have to bring scan of nuetron stars to contribute. Yeah, those would be real exploration CGs.

The last one I remember, and I want to say it was about a year ago, give or take, was "Some Station, in Some System need Exploration Data, go sell it there."

And the rankings were based on the total value of data sold. I dumped mine, made the 50% percentile, and eventually got pushed down to 75%.

Wee. Thrilling.
