Revision as of 03:30, 26 December 2019

Planets-of-Sol-Bobblehead-Livery

Planets of Sol bobblehead livery

Livery consists of cosmetic items for Ships, Ship-Launched Fighters, and SRVs. Livery items can be purchased with ARX from the in-game Elite Dangerous Store, and added or removed via the Livery menu, which can be accessed from the game's main menu or at any Station with Outfitting services. Available Livery items include decals, paintjobs, dashboard ornaments, ship kits, engine and weapon colours, name plates, and cockpit voice UI options. Livery items are purely visual, and do not alter ship performance or specifications in any way. New items are typically added to the Store every Friday.

Decals

Decals are icons, emblems, and logos that can be placed on up to three predetermined locations on a ship's hull. Each slot can be equipped with a different decal, and decal colours automatically change to suit the ship's paintjob. Decals from the Store cost between 50 and 150 ARX, but a number of decals can be earned or acquired for free during gameplay.

Pilots Federation rank decals

The Pilots Federation decals[1] are earned through gameplay. There are three types: Combat, Trade, and Exploration. As a CMDR achieves a higher rank in one of the three fields, they will earn the corresponding decal. There are a total of 8 decals per field (there are no decals for the beginner rank in each).

A Triple Elite decal, unlocked by reaching Elite in all three categories, was added in Chapter Four (3.3) of Elite Dangerous: Beyond.[2]

Community Goal decals

Beginning on March 29, 2018, exclusive decals were implemented as a reward for participation in select Community Goals. Community Goals featuring decals as a reward are planned to take place once per month. Some CGs will be competitive in nature and only give the decal to players who back the winning side, while cooperative CGs will offer the decal to everyone who contributes above a certain threshold. Higher reward tiers offer additional colors of the decal. Typically, the Top 75% rewards the standard version of the decal, Top 50% rewards a bronze decal, Top 25% rewards a silver decal, and Top 10% rewards a gold decal.[3] On some occasions, "Emissive" variants of decals are offered as top-tier rewards.[4][5]

Decals can be offered more than once; for example, the Bounty Hunting Decal was first made available in a bounty hunting CG in Vadimo held the week of April 26, 2018, but returned as a reward for a bounty hunting CG in Pleiades Sector IR-W d1-55 held the week of June 21, 2018.

Interstellar Initiative decals

Interstellar Initiatives can also offer exclusive decals for participation. These decals are only available while an Interstellar Initiative is active, and can be unlocked by docking at specific stations related to them.

Store decals

The following decals are available for purchase from the Store for 20 to 150 ARX each.

  • Commercial
    • 12 decals of generic logos suitable for corporations.
  • Creepy Emissive
    • Six luminescent, Halloween-themed decals.
  • Onionhead
    • One "Oh" quasi-periodic table emblem, and two smiley faces.
Powerplay-1920x1080 v1 k-0

Powerplay decals

  • Skulls
    • Six skull-themed decals, suitable for raiders and pirates.
  • Xeno Ally
    • Six decals featuring symbols expressing peace and friendship towards alien species.
  • Xeno Hunter

Kickstarter backer rewards

The following decals were offered as backer rewards during the Kickstarter campaign.[7]

Backer upgrade decals

Set

For Kickstarter backers who pledged a tier of at least £30, any of these additional 10 upgrade decals were available for £5 each. They include a skull with mohawk, a bird of prey, a tiger, a scorpion, a fist, a bat, a skull with chemical mask, a moon, a shark, and a snake (cobra).

Promotional event decals

These decals were obtained by redemption of special promotional codes distributed during certain major events.

Other promotional decals

  • Elite Community - Distributed to Elite Meet 2015 attendees
  • Gamescom Bullseye - Distributed to Gamescom 2015 attendees
  • Lavecon Phoenix - Distributed to Lavecon 2015 and 2016 attendees

Dangerous Games faction decals

Decal Wolves of Jonai

Wolves of Jonai

Players who supported a player faction(s) in the Dangerous Games have access to that faction's decal. The player factions are:

  • Adle's Armada
  • Alliance Elite Diplomatic Corps (uses the insignia of the Alliance)
  • Blackbird Squadron
  • Border Coalition
  • EG Pilots
  • GalCop
  • Interstellar Communist Union
  • Social Eliu Progressive Party
  • United German Commanders
  • Wolves of Jonai

Other player group decals

Decals have been granted by Frontier Developments to other groups of players:

Paintjobs

A paintjob can only be applied to the specific ship, SRV, or ship-launched fighter for which it was created and thus cannot be equipped on any other type. If the painted ship is destroyed the player can re-apply it to the replacement ship any time they are docked at a station with an "Outfitting" facility.

Paint degrades by wear over time, which can be seen in the external camera view. If a new paintjob is applied to the ship, the wear remains. Paint wear can only be removed by specifically repairing the paint in the ship maintenance facility at a station (Station Services > Advanced Maintenance > Repair > Paintwork). Note the "repair all" option does not repair paint wear.

Paintjobs for SRVs and Ship-Launched Fighters cost between 460 and 3,280 ARX each. Paintjobs for Ships cost between 620 and 5,520 ARX each.

Midnight Black paintjobs (also called "Black Friday") were originally given as a free bonus to all users who pre-ordered the Horizons season pass, had Horizons beta access, or owned the Lifetime Expansion Pass before December 1, 2015. This amounted to 29 total paintjobs, one for each ship available at the time.[13]

Midnight Black paintjobs have since been made available for individual purchase annually on Black Friday.[14] As of the release of Elite Dangerous: Beyond Chapter Four (3.3), Black Friday paintjobs have been made available for 38 of 38 existing ships, 3 of 6 existing Ship-Launched Fighters, and 1 of 1 existing SRVs. The only vehicles that do not currently have a Black Friday paintjob are the XG7 Trident, XG8 Javelin, and XG9 Lance, which do not support Livery customization.

Cockpit Customisation

Dashboard Ornaments

Dashboard Ornaments or Bobbleheads are small objects that can be placed on a ship's cockpit dashboard. Current offerings include bobblehead figures, miniature models and holograms of ships and stations, number and letter characters, Sol system bodies, and potted plants. Up to 10 different items can be placed on the dashboard at once, and any item can also be placed multiple times. Some bobbleheads are only offered on the Store on a seasonal basis. Bobbleheads cost between 2,450 and 6,450 ARX each.

Holographic trophies can also be unlocked for members of Squadrons that earn a top-three position on the seven seasonal Squadron Leaderboards. Each Leaderboard can reward a bronze (3rd place), silver (2nd place), or gold trophy (1st place) with an icon unique to that Leaderboard.[15]

The Interstellar Initiative The Enclave introduced a third method of acquiring bobbleheads: Technology Broker recipes. A recipe for a bobblehead of a Thargoid Interceptor was permanently added to Human Technology Broker inventories as a reward for the event.[16]

String Lights

String Lights are a string of decorative lights in various color combinations that are used to adorn a ship's cockpit canopy. Some sets feature ornaments. A slot for String Lights was first added to the Livery menu in August 2017, but it was not until December 2017 that the first set was sold on the Frontier Store. Released sets include:

  • Festive (Seasonal item - Christmas)
  • Warm White
  • Pumpkin (Seasonal item - Halloween)
  • Ancient Orb
  • Thargoid Sensor

Detailing

Engine Colours

Introduced the same week as the v2.3.10 update,[17] colours can be purchased for Thrusters and their exhaust contrails. Each colour can be used on any ship the player owns (including ship-launched fighters, but not the SRV). Engine Colours cost 2,240 ARX each.

Weapon Colours

Weapon colour sets change a ship's weapons fire from the default colours. Each set is a single colour and changes all weapons on the ship to that colour. Combining multiple colours on a ship is not possible. Weapon Colours cost 2,240 ARX each.

Custom weapon colour sets will partially override custom effects applied by Engineering (such as the colour change applied by Scramble Spectrum) and alter any passive lighting effects (such as the glow from Guardian Gauss Cannons).

Other

Ship Kits

File:Vulture-Ship-Front-with-ship-kit.png

Vulture with a ship kit

Ship Kits are cosmetic modifications that alter the exterior appearance of a ship, such as fins, winglets, fenders, etc. Each kit has multiple pieces (currently 12 to 16) that can be added in multiple combinations to create a variety of individual looks, though only one piece can be selected per "slot". There are two types of ship kits: standard and raider-themed. Raider kits also include six 'Corroded' Paint Jobs. Ship Kits cost 11,750 ARX for a 12-piece kit, and 13,520 ARX for a 16-piece kit.

Ship Kits are available for the following ships:

Name Plates

As of The Commanders v2.3 update, users can specify names and ID numbers for their ships.[18] To make these appear on the ship's hull, stylized plates must be purchased from the Official Store. Plate packs include 9 plates (3 designs each in white, grey, and black) and cost 2,250 ARX each. Plates can be used on any ship the player owns.

The exact position of plates varies from ship to ship, but each ship has a pair of plates that can only be used for the ID, and a second pair of plates that can be used for the ID or the full name. In most cases, the former pair will be near the rear part of the hull and the latter pair near the front, though exceptions (such as the Krait MkII, where the ID-only plates are near the front and the full-name plates are further back) do exist.

COVAS

Introduced in Beyond Chapter One (3.0), users can now choose between multiple COVAS ship/SRV voice options. Two English COVAS voices (Verity and Victor) and five localized COVAS voices (Amélie, Gerhard, Luciana, Maksim, and Vitória) are included as default/free options as of Beyond Chapter 4 (3.3). Additional COVAS options can be purchased for 8,850 ARX each.
