I was thinking about all player groups we have in game currently and all those that are still waiting to be injected into Game.
How can we as Players recognize if somebody is part of different group?
Solution. DECALS of those Minor Factions.
Let me elaborate before you start Criticize me.
Every Player Minor Faction would receive in Their Trading menu "PLEDGE" button. Players could be pledge to only One Minor Player Faction. This way Players become actually part of this faction. As bonus for doing so, players could use This specific minor Faction (Player) Decal on their ship.
I believe all those groups already are using some sort of graphics to symbolize who they are align with on forums and so on. Lets Fdevs specify Size of such Decal and Color variations needed. Players responsible for Applying for in game Faction would provide those. Fdevs would inject them in game. Or even better... Allow those leaders to do it themselves (With tool or whatever FDevs might think of).
And why The pledge Button? Well I don't think any of us would like to see enemies of Yours having your Banners. By Pledging You are creating full proof that this person is using the banner/decal only when aligning themselves with certain Player Faction. Stopping that pledge would remove Decal from ship and Livery options.
And Believe me. I'd love to see our Decal on ship that I am flying and banner pinned on Our station.
Also I belive creating ability to name it (with prefix) and make your own custom Reg number would also allow for extra Customization within your factions. And Again those would be available only for pledges players.
Imagine yourself Starport comms instead of going "Core Dynamics Charlie, Alpha, Romeo." Going (For example sake) "November, Victor, Victor 1111". Which would suggest Prefix of NVV with ship numbers 1111. And again I know that would actually make more work for FDevs regarding Voice overs but if we decide to only use 3 letters from Alphabet for prefix and than 4 numbers for reg number (or whatever amount of digits Frontier would decide is reasonable) from 0 to 9 I don't think that would be much problem. While Immersion and Perceiving game would changed drastically. Small details. Lots of Happiness.
Ship Naming tho (Like USS PutShipNameHere, or HRMS PutShipNameHere) I would reserve for larger vessels Like Conda, Python, T9, Cutter, Clipper, Corvette and Fed Gunship/Assault/Dropship. This way it would be much easier to Identify Ships. Vultures and so on: Reg number would suffice in my Opinion.
