In order to generate more cash flow and thus be able to create all the dlc’s the community desires (planetary diversity, atmospheric landings and so on), there should maybe be thought of new ways to earn some cash? Bobbleheads and paint jobs are all well and good, but there are lots of possibilities.
As a new commander, one of the biggest acheivements for me was to finally find my first completely undiscovered system, and scan the outta that thing. Both system name, ship name and livery options are stored in log files. It would thus be a very small scripting job to give players the option to buy an actual printed poster with a selection of photos of the ship in foreground/background (maybe even customizable with a very simple online editor), and of course with commander name, ship ID, date and time and so on in various overlays and styles. Lots of customization options. Select system view. Select info to show. Select style. Select size. Print and ship. Gimmicky? Yes. Would I pay to have a high res photo quality print of my very first discovered system on the wall? Also yes.
It need not stop there. 3D printing of ships, either with full color paint jobs or as paint kits for players to colorize as they see fit. 3d printed full system of own choosing (must be explored by player)? Why not? Print my first [cool.event.thing] on tshirts? The sky’s the limit here.
