How to make ships look even better

An idea I have just thought of....

When creating a ship, would it be possible that you could add art work to the ships "Hard points". these could be transparant gifs, which would automatically wrapp round the surface of the ship conponent.

Doing this could enable you to add different colours, battle damage scoring, cracks to glass and other damage. you could then also add custom logos.

Not only would this give more variety on how ships look, but it would add a good story element to the game. You could create personisled squadrons, add battle damage to a ship after combat (in a role play/ modify& upgrade ship route) as well as adding kills etc.

Just a silly idea i know, but what do you think?

I doubt it would be used much.

I would love to be able to change the colors of individual extras though.

I think it would give more personality to the ships yes, but I have a better idea. What about paint jobs of your empires logo (or something like that) on speial hard ponits that are clearly visiable.

I believe that this is a feature in DA, or at least a potential feature.

Yes, there are screenshots in one of Brad's journals IIRC if you dig around through the past few months.

You can already make your own logos in whatever graphics program you have handy, then just dump them into the appropriate directory and the game will let you use them.
