Bravissimo! Information is king!
Nameplate I shall buy, but only because you made free option
Cheers Cmdr's

Or, alternatively, one could look at this thing called reality and see that people already claimed to be willing to pay for them until the whole 'not visible unless purchased' nonsense started. But feel more than willing to stand on an imaginary hill to look down upon the 'sheeple', if thats' your thing.
As for the IP? Has anyone here ever suggested they didnt pay for it? Kinda sounds as if you're making up stuff to feel better than people you also just made up...
Great! I bet I'm not the only one who has been waiting for this since... I dunno, late Beta at least ^.^
Glad to hear that CMDRs in Oceania were *always* going to be able to see the ship names of CMDRs in Eurasia. We sure overreacted to this big misunderstanding! Glad to know that we were wrong the whole time, and that every communication on the matter up till now was just a typo or verbal gaffe; something even a simpleton such as myself should have easily recognized. After all, the notion that the visibility of our scanned ship names in the HUD would be held for ransom behind a paywall is an idea so obscene, so cynical and idiotic, that anyone with an ounce of common sense would immediately dismiss it out of hand. Boy do *I* feel silly for getting so worked up over nothing! Turns out I have always been happy with the ship naming system and I never had any problem with it.
A game such as this needs a steady revenue stream. Anybody can afford this pricing if they can afford to play the game in the first place. Amazon servers aren't cheap.
Totally not my problem. I'm not an investor, I'm not here to keep the servers running - not that I believe that is an issue for one second.
Frontier do not *need* our money. They just want it.

hi! great news and well done! was just about time to avoid a full scale riot! nameplates, you know, NAMEPLATES!, that's indeed a sensitive matter
speaking of which, i would never, NEVER, glue a nameplate on any of my ships. a name DECAL, however, would be an entirely different thing. any chance this could happen?
this part could be toned down quite a bit, imo. you're neither indie developers nor a ngo. keep in mind that not the entirety of your customer base is stupid.
Allow me to enlighten you as to what actually went down.
Basically here's what happened:
FD was going to release the feature of ship names with a built in pay wall, i.e. you needed to pay for a nameplate livery in order for other people to see your ships name. As stated in the initial 2.3 Beta change log:
Sandro Sammarco even repeated how it will work on one of the live streams. Lots of threads popped up from the player base saying, "That's not kosher FD."
And so having gotten caught out on this FD backpedalled:
Except they pretended as if the community had simply misunderstood and phrased the back pedalling as if it was intended to be this way all along:
All's well that ends well of course but the people who called FD to task on this deserve a genuine thank you from everyone else in the community in my opinion. It is because of the people that spoke up that you now have a complete ship naming feature in the game compared to what FD wanted to do in the beginning.
You are most welcome

Can't rep you again, so here's a virtual-virtual one.
It's like they're intentionally rewriting how this all went down. But they should know better.
Because they literally wrote otherwise, and then literally confirmed that in the livestream. Thats why. It was also quite clear here and on reddit what people thought about it, so they changed it.
Marketing messed up, it got fixed, thats all. Lets not whitewash history though.
Since this was part of the game layout planned from EARLY days this was no surprise, and many players HAVE been waiting for it as part of immersion which is part of gameplay... and in fact for reasons like this actually play the hame.
So do not cheapen the game for others just because it is not why YOU are playing, but certainly makes others very happy that their gameplay is enhanced.
It's because of people discussing it that this was changed. FDev aren't clarifying, they're amending without giving credit where credit is due. The people who spoke up about this deserve your thanks as much as FD does.
