Nah, why do that when you can pay $20 and name one unofficially for real...HEY!! Now there's an idea! Frontier can sell star names in their procedural universe!! Paint jobs, ship kits, name plates, laser beam colors, engine colors must be coming soon, maybe nose art too if they are smart, and one day star names! We're suckers for anything like that, after all...decorating our pretend ships with non-existent bling bought with real money...

NOSE ART! On my god I would adore that. I'd adore it even more if it could be player submitted and designed, but I am aware of the complications that could cause.
Saying that, Frontier allows PMF and Wing decals, so maybe? Either that or they could be like a second overcoat of paint to add another element of design to ships, like the shark grins I seen mentioned a few pages back.

Son of khzvoltzoh, my gosh... realised that my current "merchant" rank is 50% to Elite o-o

im getting there, slowly..... but getting there



I had an awful realisation the other day, when I found out my current rank was not 2 ranks from elite but instead a whole whopping 5 ranks away...

...it went from "nearly there, yes" to "Oh my god, I've only started thi bloody grind haven't I"

Had a little cry to myself because shinrarta seems so much farther away now.

Rip. My perceived progress..press F to pay respects.


still 50%

Because Canonn have played a major part in driving Elite's main story arc. Can everyone else claim the same?

That's what I meant with PMF and wing decals. Not quite the same as nose art.

That's only ever going to be shown in HoloMe or to other multi-crew members though. Some of us have bigger canvases for more extravagant designs.

we at canonn have been solving the mysterys, so, i guess we have been somewhat important

There's a few groups out there that have driven the plot forward.

Personally, if anyone can use the decals for a specific player group, it kinda loses its charm IMO.

Custom skin-jobs like Forza? Now that would be nice... um... and probably lose multiple days' worth of flying time tinkering... but then, sooooo shiny!

Ah, no money there. No time soon then. Onwards to the Lagoon Nebula!

I'm not sure you understand the definition of nose art?
As in art/decals on the nose of planes? Historically on Bombers during WWII
