Title says it: I'm going to list some simple ideas for decal sets I wish we could earn or purchase in Elite: Dangerous. Preferably earn, but who are we kidding...FDev charges for everything.
Please list DECAL SETS and not skin or paintjob ideas, as those are ship specific. Repeating from a thread recently posted, I'll add the medivac and then list a few more. Please add your own requests! If you wish am existing decal set was expanded (like more thargoid hunter decals), say so!
1. Rescue: Decals that feature the scepter and serpent, or similar iconography associated with medical and rescue services.
2. Salvage Ops: Junkyard dogs, metallic teeth, and crushed or flattened sidewinders, Salvage operators do the dirty work after the dirty work. Decals feature icons like those named.
3. Rare Goods Proprietor: Gems, rare tech, expensive brandy, some traders don't move cargo cannisters - they move investments. Decals feature icons associated with wealth and rarity.
4. Mining Ops: Speaking of dirty work, decals ought to be hard to see under a thick layer of 'roid dust. Decals feature the rocks with hidden goodies, laser beams and safety goggles, or just good ol' fashioned dynamite sticks...whatever those are. Probably some ancient earth snack.
5. Planetary Explorer: With the dream of new SRVs on the horizon, decals featuring the little buggy that can seems fitting for these surface crawlers. Decals can feature logos of the SRVs, sunrises, base-jumping, and even racing!
6. Racing Decals: How this got missed is beyond me. Since the dawn of man, one question has always needed an answer...who can go faster? Stripes, finish flags, and time-keepers for decals.
7. SLF 'Carrier': With some ships capable of launching TWO SLFs, sometimes the show is more about the bees rather than the hive. Decals feature SLFs, their launch sequence, or tally marks specific to the SLF.
There's some ideas of mine and others that I've seen across the forums. Add yours!
