Hey guys. As I've been searching through various ship models, (looking at PBR) I've noticed a code appearing on numerous hulls. The Astero has 302-VA1 painted on its side. The Stratios has a 302-242V1 on its hull. On the Nighthawk and Golem the code reads more like the ship name: N8-HWK and G-01LM. I'm sure there are others. But it's not on every ship. Only a few. Why? It made me curious enough to ask about the purpose of these codes. Do/will they serve any function? Is there a connection to lore? Or is this just artistic license?

Weird you say that because yesterday I was going to make an alt named CND H-4WK after I saw the writing in the side of my Hawk, which was strangely battered and bruised, despite having never been undocked...

Oh god.
