Ship naming and Name Plates – how it will work
Hi everyone,

There’s been a number of questions from Commanders regarding ship naming and how ship name plates will work so we wanted to give you a little more information about how these features will work when they’re released.

In-game ship naming

When you have named your ship in-game, your ship name will appear in multicrew grouping and in your HUD. In addition to this, in beta 5, when other people scan you, or target you in space they will be able to see your ship name in their UI. This feature will be available for all players of Elite Dangerous (both base game and Horizons players) including Xbox One, upcoming PS4 release and PC Commanders.

Cosmetic Ship Name Plates

The ship name plates will offer an added layer of cosmetic personalisation for Commanders wanting to wear their name with pride, much like paint jobs and other cosmetics currently available in the store.

Name plates will be made available in themed packs. These packs will contain three designs, each of which will be available in three colours: black, white, and grey. This makes a total of 9 nameplates per pack. After purchase, each pack will be available for use across all of your ships (Ship launched fighters and SRVs don’t have name plates) and each pack of 9 variant plates will be coming into store at just £2/€2.5/$3. This means that purchasing one pack of name plates will allow you to use that style across all of your current and future ships, at the same time and rename each individual ship as many times as you like. We believe this flexibility offers Commanders great value and is a great way to help support the continued development of Elite Dangerous.

Thanks!

Still trying not too......

I do suspect to fail one day though.

Which isn't all that good cause in all honesty, my entire apartment needs to get gutted and spruced up.
My kitchen for instance is from the 70's at best, in and of itself nothing I would care about.
But mice have gotten to the corners and a fair few of the boards are rotting up....

But gpu's are always more fun...

I'm glad they got the clarification out there so soon.

So far, I haven't seen a name plate style worth paying for - they are all just plain text. But maybe they will more stylized versions available - something like you'd see on the back of a speedboat. I guess they will be adding graphic options, but I'd rather have different fonts.

Not criticising this, it's good that they listen and respond, but it does seem that they are 'testing the water' to see what they can and can't get away with.
