Next suscriber flair is a bunch of small hollografic flags for those little guys to salute at.
Upcoming Subscriber Flairs (Updated regularly)
- Thread starter stockish
- Start date
Me thinks they should rotate flair styles monthly so we dont get similar ones many times in a row. And yes, we need a TEST flag to salute our beers to!

I'm OK with not getting useful gear like armour or guns every month, but yes, you're absolutely right.
This is the least interesting flair so far. I really looks like someone's first Blender project. Can't all be winners I guess.
I like the Lore about these, the United Nations of Earth (the first flag) has an event at its formation called the Pax Humana:
Galactapedia | The Star Citizen & Squadron 42 encyclopedia
Explore the lore of Star Citizen and Squadron 42 in the Galactapedia, an in-fiction information repository for the history and happenings of the ‘verse.

It's dressed up as all peace and love but if you read between the lines the surrounding of the Senate has all the hallmarks of a global scale Military Coupe, doesn't it?
Perhaps the true details of the event are lost to history... All I know for sure is UEE society is very militaristic.
Doing this from my phone so I hope the picture works. The long awaited space suit is coming next month!

They look really cool, but I don't feel enticed to suscribe any more.

See now that needs to go into my Vulture. My Prospector holds Pembroke RSI suit and my cargo ships will likely carry Pembroke suits as well.
I like these! For some reason, I like armor that actually looks like it would be functional in space.
September flair arrived in the hangar. I wish it was yellow...
These new suits could almost become a substitute for both the Pembroke (-75 to +225) and the Novikov (-225 to +75) suits, as they have a temperature range from -150 to +175 degrees. While not as good as either individually, they could make a reasonable "single suit" option to avoid having to acquire and store 2 suits (and remembering to load them on ships and change between them, as required).
So I guess they forgot to release the new Jump Point early, but this months flair are Cutlass plushies.
I liked the post... not the plushies. Ships need to be hard and business like, not squishy and fluffy.
I don't get the point of spaceship plushies IRL (assuming they exist). Models, sure, makes sense. But soft toys? It appears we (players) are more likely than the population in general to be male and we might suppose subscribers tend to be old enough to afford the sub - of course there are plenty of exceptions, everyone's welcome (I really hope!), but by virtue of what SC is I suspect those are the groups to whom the game appeals more. If that is true, I'm guessing we generally under-index on owning soft toys IRL compared to the population as a whole. And then an in game soft toy...?! In fact, lots of in game ones...? When all the players and NPCs want to be badasses so much of the time... how does that make sense?!
Puzzled. But sure. Why not.
Puzzled. But sure. Why not.
If they keep the plushies going, there'll soon be a way to do fleetview in the in-game habs...
But these ship plushies are only concepts. They'll need to spend the next few years on them for in game use.
