News Ship naming – transmission intercepted.

Rebel factions appear to have obtained secret information regarding the naming of ships and adding those names to Commanders’ hulls.

We can confirm that this information is correct and naming of ships is a feature that will be added to Elite Dangerous: The Commanders (2.3). Everyone will be able to rename their ship for free in game and there will also be the option to purchase cosmetic name plates which will allow Commanders the ability to display that name on your ship’s hull via a special decal. These additional features will be made available in the near future with a catalogue of designs. We’re looking forward to seeing you display your ship names with pride.

I can also confirm that the character limit for ship naming is determined by width.

Have a good evening.

Zac

This is why we can't have nice things.

Well, the press did leak it first as Sticks pointed out.

Anyway, this is cool stuff, one of the very highly requested features from day 1, so nice to see it arriving at last.

Curious to see how these different decals will look.

Zac, just to be clear.

If we want to have our ship's name visible on it's hull, we'll have to purchase the decal? Or the ones from the store are just additional cosmetics for that decal?
