I was looking at ww2 aircraft nose art. I thought it would be a good income flow for frontier if commanders could buy personally supplied/created nose art for their ships. It wouldn't affect any fighting or flying characteristics "not pay to win" but It would really class up my challenger to have a big picture of my wife " bouncing Betty" on the nose. LOL definitely worth some bucks. o7 all
Custom nose art

LOL indeed! I suspect you realise that you've kind-of answered your own implicit question about why they won't be doing this - the suggestion of having people putting pics of "their wives" on their ships basically covers it
(The game isn't X-rated, yet...)
Hi
I think so too, in fact I posted something along those lines many moons ago...I also thought it would be interesting to have an 'in game' art type program, fairly simple, and anything you'd designed could be paid for with Arx.
Two problems with this though are keeping designs to what Frontier thought was acceptable, but judging by some of the various names present in the game created by players I'm not sure if Frontiers vetting process is robust enough!...
It's not a 'problem' as such but what would Frontier charge for these nose art creations?...I would think it would be substantial, even at a basic level they've surely got to create some sort of filter in the submitting process, and creations would be limited in size and format?
I'm all for the idea, but would it take a large amount of effort by the Frontier Devs?
I'd love to be able to create not so much a 'nose art' as you describe but more of a statement similar to my avatar's (Wild Deer Corporation) ...I suppose you could call it nose art, but anyway, a 'decal' if you like of the Deer, planet and the wording, perhaps designed more around a circular design...and slap it each side of the ships nose, or on the sides or top, just how you can with the current in game decals, ranking decals and ships names.
If the price was around the 1000 to 5000 Arx's mark for a custom designed decal I'd be interested.

Nose art? Yes, please!
I think custom nose art would be unrealistic as each image would have to be subject to moderation. But a selection of pre-rendered nose art images World War II style would be great and achievable by Frontier.
IL-2 Pacific Fighters back in 2004 or thereabouts had about 20 non-risqué but authentic looking images (mostly ladies) that you could choose from to apply to US aircraft.
