Hi everyone,
There’s been a number of questions from Commanders regarding ship naming and how ship name plates will work so we wanted to give you a little more information about how these features will work when they’re released.
In-game ship naming
When you have named your ship in-game, your ship name will appear in multicrew grouping and in your HUD. In addition to this, in beta 5, when other people scan you, or target you in space they will be able to see your ship name in their UI. This feature will be available for all players of Elite Dangerous (both base game and Horizons players) including Xbox One, upcoming PS4 release and PC Commanders.
Cosmetic Ship Name Plates
The ship name plates will offer an added layer of cosmetic personalisation for Commanders wanting to wear their name with pride, much like paint jobs and other cosmetics currently available in the store.
Name plates will be made available in themed packs. These packs will contain three designs, each of which will be available in three colours: black, white, and grey. This makes a total of 9 nameplates per pack. After purchase, each pack will be available for use across all of your ships (Ship launched fighters and SRVs don’t have name plates) and each pack of 9 variant plates will be coming into store at just £2/€2.5/$3. This means that purchasing one pack of name plates will allow you to use that style across all of your current and future ships, at the same time and rename each individual ship as many times as you like. We believe this flexibility offers Commanders great value and is a great way to help support the continued development of Elite Dangerous.
Thanks!
Yeah sorry, I've given them enough money already.

Yes and no.
Yes because you have a game and your right is to play it, and no, because this is an online game, and everyone know a maintenance and development are costs and game is without monthly fee, and thankfully to God and David, there is no pay2win.
If we want play, then we just need to buy something, even if we do not really need it. That's how it work.
More money = better game.
Our vote is our wallet. Thankfully to ED sales model all money we put in game is optional. Its is very fair in my opinion.

Great news- not that I was expecting anything less. A bunch of people must/should feel pretty silly now.
I have no fear for them, they'll find plenty of fingers to hide behind.
It's nice to know when the community threatens you with their wallets that you hastily respond, Frontier (not directed at Ed).
This "clarification" is the right decision... as it turns out, my wallet will now feel more liberal in your store in the near future.
Let this be a lesson to your marketing team - don't treat us like cows.
