Bobble heads!!!!

Easy way to make this feature awesome: open it up to the community to design paint schemes, give us a template or tool to design our own ship paint and submit them to the store, if you submit a paint and somebody buys it you get a share.

This will mean that there's a decent amount of ship paints (with new ones appearing regularly), that there will be plenty of variety in the universe (maybe apply random ones to npc ships?) and that people are more inclined to buy ship paints!

Win for players who want awesome paint
Win for players who want awesome variety
Win for people who can create awesome paint that sells
Win for Frontier Developments because they have a steady income stream without having to dedicate resources to it.

+1. Also hope they add some custom colour picker in game to change primary and secondary colours.

I've had the debate, myself, that I wouldn't mind at all paying for the ability to paint my own scheme in real money, and have pre-painted options as in-game-currency only. However, that would immediately open up the issue of needing anti-[[you know what]] cops patrolling each and every submission, and, frankly, that's a waste of a person's time.

Haha yeah I forgot about that, I remember in BF4 when people could make their own emblem there was a plethora of [you know what]s, never the female ones which I thought was odd until someone pointed out that the offending few probably didn't know what that one looked like

Yeah I suppose submissions would have to be approved somehow. Still a possibility, Plenty Of Fish dating website asks users to approve/send for review other users profile pictures, which reduces greatly the number of submissions that have to be reviewed by the owners of the site, could be a way to make it workable. Say a paint approved 3 times by users could be automatically added to the store (which will still have a report button) and anything flagged for review more than once (to eliminate OOPS flags) be looked at by FD before being added.

Who wants more Bobbing Head choices?

I would love more Bobbing head choices for the Dashboards of my Space craft.

I wouldn't mind more choices in the options.Frontier could even sell limited ones in the store to pay for their development costs.

I would love the classic Hula girl.

What Bobbing figures would you guys like in your Space crafts.

Hey again guys.

Quick question, will there be anymore bobble heads than just toku and xmas? If so, will they be free? or will they be from the online store (which I would be totally cool with)

Thanks,
Fred T.A

I'm still waiting for bobble heads on the Cobra. If if it's a paid option.

Are you listening Frontier ? My wallet is ready ! Bring bobbles to the Cobra!

Talking Einstein Bobblehead, a la Night at the museum 2 (awful film, great Bobblehead!).

”Yes... yes. This is a fertile land, & we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, & we will call it... This Land.”
“I think we should call it... your grave!”
“Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!”
“Ha ha ha! Mine is an evil laugh! Now DIE!”
“Oh no, God, oh dear God in heaven...”

(If you're playing ED and you don't get the reference... shame on you!)

I want one of those sun strip things across the top of my cobras cockpit (like the ones they used to have on ford escorts), "Wayne and Tracy"

 

[TranZdog]

I want Vault boy bobbleheads

More bobble heads as a potential revenue

In an effort to keep income flowing in, servers up, and p2w at bay I would like to suggest that Frontier make more bobble heads and bobble head like cosmetic items that can be sold like the paint jobs.

I think the bobble head was a neat little addition- though I know some find them distracting- and I think they could become a little like in game collectors items.

I think these would be an excellent way to stimulate additional income for servers, etc., that completely avoids the p2w scheme of buying power.

At the very least, it would be neat to see more of these- perhaps there may be a way in the future for fans to submit their own designs for these (or similar items, like fuzzy dice idk) through a player studio.

Cheers

I want a Kerbal bobblehead.

 

[Anders Lerche]

I would like a David Braben bobble head, please. He's our game founder, he's a recognizable chap and a good looking bloke too.

 

[Joe Spivey]

i really want more bobbles, too! I'd buy one of those faster than a paint job for sure. actually, any kind of cockpit bling i'd be all over. More, please!! Heh

this! ^^^

 

[Aravan Darkvale]

I was so hoping they would have a Hawaiian Hula Girl. Unfortunately they did not and this gets turned off.

I really wanted the Hula Girl too! For now I'm rocking the Xmas tree. Bobbles should be offered in the cash shop. I would totally plunk down a few dollars to have a Hula Girl grace the dash of my ship.

Speaking of, can we have the option to have the bobble in more than the Sidewinder? Pretty please?

Yes, ^this too.

I would love to see bobbles in all the ships and lots of different bobbles and other interior decorations as well as bumper stickers for sale in the cash shop. If they could do a player studio that would be excellent. Factions can get custom decals or bumper stickers, etc.

These would be great ways to keep the revenue stream alive- can anyone else think of fun non-gameplay related things they could do to fill out the shop?
