Markings on starships - yay or nay? Who can see them? Good for morale knowing they're there?

And here are the books you want...

The game never changes, only the players do.
Others might call it rebellion, call it cowardice. The Vanguard will not forgive, nor will they forget. Their trust lays with one another, in those who have shed blood with them and joined the Net. Empires, governments, leaders, alliances, planets, corporations—many have fallen in humanity’s past.
Now a new empire will stand on the shoulders of the Vanguard, the troopers, the people of Tricticus, and the Victor Corporation.
Their goal: survive and defend those they care for. By any means necessary.

Armed with a mind-control weapon, hordes of merciless alien invaders tore through Earth's defenses. The Sa’Nerra turned fleet crew against their own. Entire warships went rogue. Suspicion and fear ran riot. Surrender seemed like the only choice.
But Captain Lucas Sterling knows that against these brutal invaders, there is only victory or death. And death is not an option.
Sterling is one of the few men to have fought the Sa'Nerra and lived. As a black-ops Omega Captain, he earned his command in a monstrous trial of grit and determination. Backed by an AI-powered warship and elite crew, including a first officer with superhuman strength, Sterling’s mission is simple. He is to take the fight to the Sa’Nerra, and rid the galaxy of their alien blight, once and for all.
But to prevent the enslavement of the entire human race, he must be willing to not only sacrifice the people he loves, but his own humanity too.
At what price is victory? The Omega Taskforce will soon find out.

A war his people couldn’t win took everything from him – except revenge.
Mose and his team are all that stand between his colony and the Terrans. He sends the Osk spies and assassins where they can do the most damage to the superior Terran forces.
Then an awful new Terran weapon wipes his colony off the map.
Mose awakes a prisoner, bound to the enemy by the tech that sustains him. They offer him a brutal choice: die, or hunt down his old teammates to stay alive.
He agrees for one reason. Before the Terran attack, the Osk were betrayed by one of their own.
And he’s the only person who knows the truth.
Following the traitor’s trail to a powerful Terran world, Mose learns his target is about to commit an act of terrorism that will repeat history.
If Mose can’t stop him, millions of people will die—again.

Ever since her creation, Light Seeker fought for humanity as a battleship, facing enemy forces that sought to carve out as much human space as they could get away with. She had taken part in hundreds of battles, seen millions die, served under four captains until she lost it all.
Stripped of weapons and with most of her memories restricted, Light Seeker retired into a human body, keeping her promise to a captain she almost lost.
Decades later, she’s back in the Fleet as a cadet and ready to join the fight.Only this time, she has more than her crew to protect.

Jake Adlar's goals in life were simple—possibly nonexistent. All he wanted was to fly a desk. Hence, he'd joined the Space Force, the service with the most extensive array of Earth-side clerical specialties.
All he needed to make him happy was an office, a computer, his favorite coffee mug, and a never-ending pile of requisitions.
Then a pretty woman came along. Perhaps a drink or ten. Next thing Jake knew, he's shipped off to the Legions, doomed to fight in the seemingly endless war raging throughout the galaxy.
Now, survival tops the chart. Except that isn’t so easy to do in the Legions, where everyone's a killer, officers are as merciless as the enemy, and dark schemes and secrets brood within the ranks.

When the research starship Galileo vanishes without a trace, the powers-that-be are quick to bury the incident, eager to prevent escalating tensions that could lead to war. As a former POW, Soren refuses to give the ship up for lost.
His daughter is one of the missing.
Taking matters into his own hands, Soren starts pulling strings and calling in favors, determined to launch a clandestine mission to bring Galileo home. When an old friend offers him a ship for the operation, he expects a rusty relic headed for the scrapyard.
Instead, he's given the Wraith — an unfinished, experimental starship with plenty of potential and just as many problems. A marvel of engineering... if his crew can keep her running.
They’d better.
Because Galileo’s disappearance is just the beginning. War is coming to the Federation from the most unlikely of places.
And Soren may be the only one who can stop it.

First contact with the alien “Clicks” led to a generations’ long war. The Terran Federation still knows very little about the enemy.
Captain Konrad Bradley commands the decommissioned battleship Oberon, the last remaining Titan of the fleet. Mocked as a flying museum - too expensive, too cumbersome, too old - Bradley and his crew of outcasts from a long-vanished colony lead a dull life on the farthest edge of human hegemony.
Bradley’s hope to go quietly into the night ends with the arrival of the legendary Strike Group 2 and the delivery of a secret so great it could end the war. That’s why Lagunia was chosen for its construction.
Getting the system operational doesn’t go as expected leaving Bradley and the Oberon to clean up the mess that has drawn the attention of those they hoped would never find them.

Customer service is the most important thing these days—for humans and robots. The best ways to deliver great customer service is to know your product and all the ways it can be programmed, maintain a positive attitude, respond quickly, and focus support on the customer.
This is especially important when you're in the business of contributing to other people's families and unfortunately, and is regardless of whether or not you think the customer is worthy of your product...
Luckily, most of the robots we sell go to wonderful customers like Mrs. Borel. It means the days I have to deal with the Mrs. Vickers of the world are rare...
