'''Livery''' refers to [[Ships|ship]] cosmetics and can be changed via the [[Outfitting]] menu of Station Services. Currently ships can be equipped with decals, paintjobs, dashboard ornaments, external kits, weapon colours, name plates, and thrust colours. Paintjobs are also available for ship-launched fighters and SRV. These items do not alter ship performance in any way, although certain bobbleheads and Ship Kit pieces may partially obscure a pilot's view.
+
'''Livery''' consists of cosmetic items for [[Ships]], [[Ship-Launched Fighters]], and [[SRV]]s. 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.
   
  +
==Compatibility==
Currently, generic NPCs will not use Livery options at all. Police forces and some specific ships such as Rescue Ships will use their own set paint and decals, but many of these are NPC-only, and they will never use Ship Kits.
 
  +
Not all Livery options are available for all vehicles. The table below identifies vehicles that are incompatible with certain Livery options.
   
  +
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
There are no in-game options for users to create their own custom paintjobs, decals, etc, nor are there any third-party tools for this. Except certain decals, all items must be purchased at the [https://www.frontierstore.net Official Store]; the Outfitting menu provides direct links to the store. Prices vary, and reduced sale prices are occasionally offered and announced in the newsletter. Combo packs are available for most items. Beginning with the [[September Update]], Livery items will be purchasable with [[Arx]] across all platforms.

Note that [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]] are not factored into this table because they have their own [[#Fleet Carrier Livery|specific Livery options]]. Name Plates are the only Livery item that is compatible with both standard ships and Fleet Carriers.

==Decals==
 
==Decals==
Decals are icons and logos that can be placed on 3 pre-determined spots on a ship (front, left, and right). A different decal can be placed in each spot. The decal colours automatically vary to suit the ship's paintjob.
+
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.

=== 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.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/418412-Community-Goal-Decals Frontier Forums: Community Goal Decals]</ref> On some occasions, "Emissive" variants of decals are offered as top-tier rewards.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=439566 Frontier Forums: Federal Operation against the League of Reparation (Combat with decals)]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=439563 Frontier Forums: Imperial Operation against the League of Reparation (Combat with decals)]</ref>

Beginning on March 29, 2018, exclusive decals were implemented as a reward for participation in select [[Community Goals]]. Acquiring the decal usually entails reaching a certain participation threshold, such as being a top 75% contributor, or supporting the winning faction in a pair of competing CGs. Usually, but not always, multiple colours of the CG are available depending on which participation threshold the player reached, including standard, bronze, silver, gold, and "emissive" variants. Some decals may be offered as a reward in more than one CG.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/418412-Community-Goal-Decals Frontier Forums: Community Goal Decals]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=439566 Frontier Forums: Federal Operation against the League of Reparation (Combat with decals)]</ref><ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=439563 Frontier Forums: Imperial Operation against the League of Reparation (Combat with decals)]</ref>
 
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.

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.

=== Name Plates ===
  +
Introduced in the [[Elite Dangerous: Horizons#The Commanders - v2.3|The Commanders v2.3 update]], users can specify names and ID numbers for their ships.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/2-3-the-commanders-changelog.341916/ Frontier Forums: 2.3 The Commanders - Changelog]</ref> To make these appear on the ship's hull, stylised plates must be purchased from the Store. Name Plate packs include 9 plates (3 designs each in white, grey, and black) and cost 2,250 [[ARX]] each. Name Plates can be used on any ship the player owns; notably, Name Plates are the only Livery item that are compatible with both standard ships and [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]].
  +
  +
The exact position of Name Plates varies from ship to ship, but each ship has one pair of plates that can only be used for the ID, and a second pair of plates that can be used for either 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. Ships typically come equipped with small floodlights positioned to keep the name and ID areas lit.
  +
  +
On Fleet Carriers, the owner can only use Name Plates to show the vessel's name on its hull, not its ID. There are two areas, one on either side of the vessel's Landing Pads, where Name Plates are displayed. The exact positions of these areas changes depending on which Fleet Carrier Layout is currently equipped.
  +
  +
=== COVAS ===
  +
Introduced in [[Elite Dangerous: Beyond#Chapter One - v3.0|''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 localised 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.
  +
  +
== Fleet Carrier Livery ==
  +
[[Drake-Class Carrier]]s, introduced in the [[Fleet Carriers Update]], have their own unique Livery options. Although certain Fleet Carrier Livery types overlap with standard Livery types that were not specific to ship models, such as Paintjobs and Detailing, Fleet Carrier Livery cannot be used on standard ships, and standard Livery cannot be used on Fleet Carriers.
  +
  +
=== Layouts ===
  +
Layouts are cosmetic modifications that can be applied to change the exterior appearance of a Fleet Carrier. Unlike Ship Kits, which consist of a collection of interchangeable parts, Layouts are a single-piece cosmetic. Layouts cost 12,450 [[ARX]] each.
  +
  +
*Fortune-Class Carrier - ''"Fortune favors the bold, and the bold favor the Fortune Class Carrier!"''
  +
*Nautilus-Class Carrier - ''"Become a dreadnought in space with the Nautilus Class Carrier! For those who always want to be the bigger fish."''
  +
*Victory-Class Carrier - ''"For the Commanders that charge headfirst into the fray. The Victory Class Carrier ensures you're always one step ahead."''
  +
  +
=== Paintjobs ===
  +
All 11 Fleet Carrier Paintjob series are listed below. Fleet Carrier Paintjobs cost 2,750 ARX each.

=== Detailing ===
  +
Fleet Carriers have two Detailing types: Holo-Marker, and Carrier-Drive Colour. Holo-Markers change the colours of the holographic numbers displayed above a Fleet Carrier's [[Landing Pad]]s, and cost 3,650 ARX each. Carrier-Drive Colours change the colours of a Fleet Carrier's thruster flames, and cost 4,180 ARX each.
  +
  +
=== ATC ===
  +
Fleet Carrier ATC (Air Traffic Controller) options are the Fleet Carrier equivalent of COVAS options for standard ships. ATCs are the "voices" of Fleet Carriers, and are heard by all players when they enter or exit a Fleet Carrier's no-fire zone, request docking permission, dock or launch on a Landing Pad, and experience Fleet Carrier jump countdowns. All Fleet Carriers include the Kelvin ATC as a free, default option, and all other Fleet Carrier ATCs cost 4,870 ARX each.

Latest revision as of 22:51, 30 August 2023

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.

Compatibility

Not all Livery options are available for all vehicles. The table below identifies vehicles that are incompatible with certain Livery options.

Livery Option Incompatible Vehicles
Cockpit Customisation F63 Condor, Gu-97, Scarab, Taipan, XG7 Trident, XG8 Javelin, XG9 Lance
COVAS None
Decals None
Engine Colours Scarab
Name Plates F63 Condor, Gu-97, Scarab, Taipan, XG7 Trident, XG8 Javelin, XG9 Lance
Paintjobs XG7 Trident, XG8 Javelin, XG9 Lance
Ship Kits F63 Condor, Gu-97, Scarab, Taipan, XG7 Trident, XG8 Javelin, XG9 Lance
Weapon Colours None

Note that Fleet Carriers are not factored into this table because they have their own specific Livery options. Name Plates are the only Livery item that is compatible with both standard ships and Fleet Carriers.

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. Acquiring the decal usually entails reaching a certain participation threshold, such as being a top 75% contributor, or supporting the winning faction in a pair of competing CGs. Usually, but not always, multiple colours of the CG are available depending on which participation threshold the player reached, including standard, bronze, silver, gold, and "emissive" variants. Some decals may be offered as a reward in more than one CG.[3][4][5]

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
    • Six decals featuring symbols expressing aggression towards alien species.

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
  • The Art of War - Distributed to participants of "The Art of War", an unofficial in-game event in 2020 overseen by the Anti-Xeno Initiative[12]

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

Midnight Black Federal Corvette, Asp Explorer, Diamondback Explorer, and Scarab SRV

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.[18]

Midnight Black paintjobs have since been made available for individual purchase annually on Black Friday.[19] 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 2 of 2 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 customisation.

Snake Wrap Iridescent

Cockpit Customisation

Dashboard Ornaments

Dashboard Ornaments are small, decorative objects such as bobbleheads, holograms, and potted plants that can be placed on a ship's cockpit dashboard. The dashboard has a total of ten ornament slots, and any ornament can be placed in multiple slots at the same time. Ornaments cost between 2,450 and 6,450 ARX each. Some ornaments are only offered on the Store on a seasonal basis.

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.[22]

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.[23]

String Lights

String Lights are a string of decorative lights in various colour 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. String Light sets are listed below, in chronological order of release:

  • Festive (Seasonal item - Christmas)
  • Warm White
  • Pumpkin (Seasonal item - Halloween)
  • Ancient Orb
  • Thargoid Sensor
  • New Year Lanterns (Seasonal item - Lunar New Year)
  • Neon Skulls (Seasonal item - Halloween)
  • Sugar Skulls (Seasonal item - Day of the Dead)

Detailing

Engine Colours

Introduced the same week as the v2.3.10 update,[24] 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

Orca Ship Kit

Orca with standard Ship Kit parts attached

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 three types of ship kits:

  • Standard, consisting of various conventional addon components such as spoilers and winglets.
  • "Raider", with rusty, ramshackle scrap-metal components. Raider kits also include six 'Corroded' Paint Jobs. Raider kits are used by reinforcement dropoff ships in some On Foot activities.
  • "Hazard", with rugged, industrial parts such as roll cages. Hazard kits include six 'Hazard' Paint Jobs and fully functional floodlights that are toggled along with the ship's main lights, but have only one part for each slot.[25]

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

Introduced in the The Commanders v2.3 update, users can specify names and ID numbers for their ships.[26] To make these appear on the ship's hull, stylised plates must be purchased from the Store. Name Plate packs include 9 plates (3 designs each in white, grey, and black) and cost 2,250 ARX each. Name Plates can be used on any ship the player owns; notably, Name Plates are the only Livery item that are compatible with both standard ships and Fleet Carriers.

The exact position of Name Plates varies from ship to ship, but each ship has one pair of plates that can only be used for the ID, and a second pair of plates that can be used for either 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. Ships typically come equipped with small floodlights positioned to keep the name and ID areas lit.

On Fleet Carriers, the owner can only use Name Plates to show the vessel's name on its hull, not its ID. There are two areas, one on either side of the vessel's Landing Pads, where Name Plates are displayed. The exact positions of these areas changes depending on which Fleet Carrier Layout is currently equipped.

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 localised 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.

Fleet Carrier Livery

Drake-Class Carriers, introduced in the Fleet Carriers Update, have their own unique Livery options. Although certain Fleet Carrier Livery types overlap with standard Livery types that were not specific to ship models, such as Paintjobs and Detailing, Fleet Carrier Livery cannot be used on standard ships, and standard Livery cannot be used on Fleet Carriers.

Layouts

Layouts are cosmetic modifications that can be applied to change the exterior appearance of a Fleet Carrier. Unlike Ship Kits, which consist of a collection of interchangeable parts, Layouts are a single-piece cosmetic. Layouts cost 12,450 ARX each.

  • Fortune-Class Carrier - "Fortune favors the bold, and the bold favor the Fortune Class Carrier!"
  • Nautilus-Class Carrier - "Become a dreadnought in space with the Nautilus Class Carrier! For those who always want to be the bigger fish."
  • Victory-Class Carrier - "For the Commanders that charge headfirst into the fray. The Victory Class Carrier ensures you're always one step ahead."

Detailing

Fleet Carriers have two Detailing types: Holo-Marker, and Carrier-Drive Colour. Holo-Markers change the colours of the holographic numbers displayed above a Fleet Carrier's Landing Pads, and cost 3,650 ARX each. Carrier-Drive Colours change the colours of a Fleet Carrier's thruster flames, and cost 4,180 ARX each.

ATC

Fleet Carrier ATC (Air Traffic Controller) options are the Fleet Carrier equivalent of COVAS options for standard ships. ATCs are the "voices" of Fleet Carriers, and are heard by all players when they enter or exit a Fleet Carrier's no-fire zone, request docking permission, dock or launch on a Landing Pad, and experience Fleet Carrier jump countdowns. All Fleet Carriers include the Kelvin ATC as a free, default option, and all other Fleet Carrier ATCs cost 4,870 ARX each.
