Why is it that, unless we have a fleet emblem, we have huge upside-down United Federation of Planets emblems?
I'm trying hard to remember if any Trek ships had them in any series and I really can't remember any Starfleet ships that did, much less ones that were flipped.
Why have we had them for so long, and since we apparently have to have them, why are they still wrong way up?
Perhaps an alternative idea would be to get rid of the big UFP emblem, entirely, and go with an alternative. Perhaps go ahead and add the Starfleet arrowhead and stripes to all of the ships (and for the canon ships, make it look like it should) and then give us the option of replacing the Starfleet arrowhead with our fleet emblem.

Point taken. It has been added to our "to do" list.
I seem to recall someone mentioning that the devs were going to try to get the Starfleet emblem, like the one on the Excelsior model, to all ships... I would be a big fan of that.
The Fleet Emblem and the Decals do not work the same. The arrowhead and striping are built to the model and are not adjustable by the player. However, we are planning to add those to all of the Fed ships.

Allow me to say, "THANK YOU!!!" We've been waiting for those to be added to the models for a while now, and no Federation Starship looks complete without them. Especially on the Galaxy Class Nacelles.

Nice! Thanks for the quick reply.
Question for anyone: I don't have an Excelsior, so I don't know how they work... are they usable with the paint jobs we currently have?

One question comes to mind:
While understandably, the stripes on the ships should be predefined and not editable by the players, will the arrowhead itself be customizable ? Perhaps a modest selection of the canon arrowhead designs as well as a few Cryptic-inspired designs?
The TNG-era arrowhead for example, looks nothing like the VOY-era arrowhead.

Please tell me you'll eventually get around to removing the need to have some sort of Emblem and give us a "None" option!
I'm sick of seeing that UFP emblem on my ships, it wasn't on the saucer of the Enterprise and it wasn't on any other ship. I don't want it

Agreed. I really would just like the option to have no emblem/logo/decal. This has been requested before and dstahl himself said it was a good idea although we haven't heard anything about it since.
This is a good suggestion and I'll need to see if there is a technical reason why we don't currently allow none. If the ships can be made to allow "none" then we'll see what we can do.

For what it is worth, if it is not to much trouble, I would love to be able to scale my fleet logo as well as control its placement like we can do for our toon tattoos.

Though it would be neat if the striping could be made to be built into the model and the arrowhead be lifted from the map and replaced with a replaceable version of itself (like the current UFP logo). That way we could replace the arrowhead with our fleet emblem.
