Community Designs to help support the future of Elite Dangerous

Hi my name is Cmdr Travis Robicheaux I have been playing this game just around the time this game was released. I hold this game very close to my heart and have purchased many in game cosmetics / invested thousands of hours literally. I wanted to come here and help see if we could get an idea going.

Community Cosmetic Designs - In many games there is an element that allows the community to create customs skins for items. in this instance I think an SRV/Ship/Weapon skin design created by the community each month would add an element to this game never seen. Don't get me wrong I think everything released by Fdev has been fantastic but why not allow the community to have a bit more ownership over this.

Top 5 Community voted skins per month for which ever item in-game and have that be purchased with Arx where a small portion goes to the Artist and the other goes towards the game.

Now I am not sure if such mechanics would cause any issues but I feel like something of this nature would help generate revenue for the future of Elite Dangerous.


Some of you maybe against this or totally for this but I know one thing. I want Elite Dangerous around for the next 20 years.

Stay Safe Commanders!

Great idea. It has been done before: the Cobra "Medusa" and Asp "Arrowhead" were produced in that way. FD should do it again.
