1919 Flag changes are visible to other players in PvE and PvP, so the design you fly is also a signal of which faction you currently care about. Flying the plain black flag signals neutrality.Designs are bound to the character that read the matching Style Book, not to a specific ship, so all of a character's owned ships can use any unlocked flag. The black flag is the exception: it is always available on every ship.A flag does not affect ship stats. It is purely cosmetic, so swap it freely without worrying about a damage or speed penalty.

2323 The Black Flag is the fallback for crews who do not want to broadcast an allegiance. Switching back to it from a faction flag is free and instant at any Wharf, which makes it handy when you want to travel without advertising which faction's Insignias you are currently grinding.
