squadron ship decals
- Thread starter Salmonea
- Start date
Every videogame that allows any user content has a TTD (Time to ****), which represents the delay until a player uploads or creates a picture of a gentleman's sausage. (This has in fact already been done on the galaxy map via visited systems).
Players can only be trusted to do this, never to refrain from it.

One of the reasons might be the need to personally verify every logo to make sure it does not include anything breaking the ToS. It might be more hassle than its worth for FD.

Given that the game (Horizons) is PEGI-7, no, we are not nor can we all be assumed to be adults.
In all these long years, I haven't met anyone that young. The youngest person I've met who plays Elite was 20. I'm 35, and in our squadron, I'm among the youngest.

While that may be the case, it does not change how the game is sold to all players.
There is a diference what is correct and what is truth.Okey, okey,... and what is your opinion about squadron decals? Is that somehow possible?
Have you noticed how even this conversation was moderated when you used forbidden word? The same applies to the game. Those are Fdev rules, no matter if you personally might not care.
In my opinion the problem is not only with vulgar or obscene childish content, but more importantly with racist, political or otherwise inflammable things that kids actually might not understand but adults will get worked up about.
So it's additional work for them. Hard to say if they would see any benefit.
I can imagine the outcry from the many CMDRs with smaller than x members for being not allowed to add their decals.
Remember Fleet Carriers as squadron assets.
Nope, not happening.
I suppose the question FDev would ask is what makes those larger squadrons less prone to sneaking something potentially offensive through. The first step in dealing with any sort of risk is elimination rather than reduction, especially if they see no business case.
I certainly don't want to rubbish this sort of idea though because squadrons in game could do with something.
For a very limited value of Everyone which I suspect is fewer than the actual number of players in squadrons.
Even those of us that are adults cannot be assumed to be responsible.

It's not even the time to genitalia or the cat memes on the galaxy map that I'd be worried about so much as how long it would take for someone to upload an icon that's illegal in germany.
At one point FDev allowed the PGs involved with "Rise to Power" <maybe?> to put decals in. I have a decal from Adel's Armada, but I am not with them any more. It was pretty cool to group up and have that kind of identifier. If it were done, it should be a generic 'Squadron Decal' that you buy, and it would shift with your alignments changes.
FDev had a review system with the PMG's, but that has ended now. That should be a clue. That decals just might be too much work for the slimmed down ED group.

In-game Logo Application for Squadron / Player Minor Faction
In-game Logo Application for Squadrons and Player Minor Factions in Elite Dangerous would be a valuable addition, allowing players to fully customize their group's visual identity and creating a greater sense of community within the game. The ability to apply custom logos would enhance...

Earlier versions of the the same, including my addressing the blatant discrimination that this thread also includes...Couldn't find this before...
I throw this in every time this comes around. The link above, from 2018, is the first one I found in Google.Anarchy decal and unique decal generator
Hi. I want to propose you 2 topics. The first is very easy, a especific decal with anarchy symbols (like this https://photoatelier.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/anarchy-symbol.png?w=520) The second I think is more dificult but maybe you can obtain a good benefit: to give to the CMD's of create...forums.frontier.co.uk
Yeah, no-one sensible is touching that if you've not been able to work it out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say there's a particular symbol that has been associated with people who have done some bad things in the last 90 years.
If you mean the swastika, it is a symbol whose origins date back to the Paleolithic era and was widely used across all continents. The fact that the Nazis appropriated it is another matter. But the symbol itself is perfectly fine.
