Never found a name plate design that suited my Cmdr character...

Here ya go!OK for me this evening in the UK
Anyone got the 'practical' name plate pack? I notice there is a barcode on one of them along with a few symbols - can someone take a pic of the barcode plz?
reading a barcode is simple. there are 4 widths that the white and black bars can be. just follow the widths in sequence and write them down. Now, figuring out what the numbers represent is another issue entirely.
either way, it's been stated since the beginning that there will be no in-game or out of game clues in regards to raxxla. So there's no point in looking for any unless that situation has changed (it hasn't).
Going by how fdev has handled things in this game in the past, raxxla is probably a non-descript planet that you could have passed a thousand times but if you happened to investigate it in depth you may find something on it that would identify it as raxxla. There will be no value to having found it within the game ...and no special content related to it of any significance. It's discovery will not alter the overall game or narrative.
Barcodes have a start sequence and a stop sequence and a character set for encoded characters in between . The width numbers carry no more information than the image, so your statement is empty.
Either:
But I learnt a bit more about bar-codes on the way so that was cool
- The sequence fits a code-set I haven't come across
- The start/stop isn't present, making identifying the code-set harder
- It uses a non-standard format ( which is tough without a key as it were)
- Its just eye candy and carries no information of use (most likely)
There is one more possibility - if the barcode changed depending on the ship's name, then we'd have been given a key to decode that type of barcode. Is it the same on all ships? (seriously clutching at straws though..)
Now that thought process is much more back on track Yelboc.
try changing the name to A B C or KEY and see if there any obvious difference.....99.99999% not and its just nothing, but science says rule it out
Now now, donāt spread false news. āthere will be no in-game or out of game cluesā isnāt what was said.either way, it's been stated since the beginning that there will be no in-game or out of game clues in regards to raxxla.

You'd have to drop the image to the width numbers regardless of how it's encoded, since no non-custom barcode reader is going to scan it.
And if you've done that part of the work, which you'd have to do anyway, you could easily check to see if it's ascii if you knew what the name of the ship was that was associated with the barcode, since decoding the width to ascii would be straight forward, with every 2 digits being 1 character.
