Bran, I'm afraid your avatar is evolving into some sort of furry... D:
I swear it was different yesterday!

Thanks, Ed, for the clarification!
I really don't care, whether this is how it initially was intended anyway (and communication got messed up so far) or FDev changed their mind due to player feed-back. It doesn't matter!
All that matters is, that you guys have definitely restored my confidence in your "monetisation ethics" and thus secured the enjoyment of your awesome game. (Sounds a little bit over-dramatic I guess, but describes my view quite well.)
I think I will honor this by purchasing one of the plate variants - something that I would have skipped otherwise for sure. And maybe a new weapon color as well ...

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 would help if they didn't say in a live stream that you would need to pay for CMDRs to see your name in their HUD in the first place.
I'm only in favour of this if the new Engineers can only do eight letter plates when you meet them, and require ranking up to do nine, ten, eleven and finally twelve letter names.
Also, the position on the ship should also random. And the colour of the letters.
This. There should be the Game of Thrones "Shame" meme plastered on the posts of a lot people around here...

As it is noticed, it was a tiny bit of conflicting info after weeks of exaclty this infos already available.
Jumping to the guns has never been easier, I guess.
My general advice still stays true: Chill pill, go to the Winchester, and wait until it boils over.

Those are very good additions! Added to my post.
I propose that windshield should not be excluded from the possible locations.

I am really glad for this clarification, because I was thinking to myself it was pretty damned stupid that the only way someone could know the name of your ship (Which can be scanned in super cruise from across the whole system) was if you had a bit of paint spelling it out on the side of your hull.
I'm glad that isn't the case, because the alternative was REALLY stupid.

Thanks Ed.
Get off my back Ozric, you're always on it.
Yay! I spent 12 hours in a SRV and all I found was a bunch of Z,X and ж's. Wait until a re-loggable source of vowels are found.
Lovely. Thank you. Works for me. Seems entirely reasonable.
If people are going to argue something that costs less than a cup of coffee, imagine how much arguing that point to death would be worth if you actually had to bill the time.
It's a few bucks/ pounds/ pesos for ship wide plates. Move on.

That's another great addition to the idea! Indeed some letters should only be found on planet surfaces! Added to my post.
