Ok we all know we can mod ships with diffrent weapons, yada yada yada, but what if we added a new level of customization, changing ship color!
Now i know we all are bored of the solid colors and faction logos we see every day on our ships(do kluth have a kluth logo?), so what if we could change the color of our ships in the shipyard!(for a small fee of course) I wasnt thinking you know like being able to make like a rainbow ship taht would stand out completely in space, but making it like black, red, green?, yellow? etc. but i would really mean like darker colors that dont stand out so much but i guess you could have a bright color if you were really stupid and wanted to stand out against the black of space. Now for the kluth options, maybe a line of more organic colors that match? i dont know ill let kluht comment on that.
Now for part 2, about the faction logo's. they get boring. So what if each individual fleet could create there own logo which would appear in the smae spot instead of faction logo! would be cool huh?

Faustus has coded a new moding system, he isn't going to undo all he did now...
Also, there's more pressing issues.

way to completely skip over the entire post jack...
I'd LOVE to be able to customize my ships colors  No more pee pee cream color! Alas, I don't think its possible because of how the ships are modeled & how they appear in game...
They're static models IIRC - its like in Duke Nukem and whatnot, you could replace the old models with Duke Build, but you couldn't alter them in game.

simple solution, only fleets get custom decals, only fleet admins get to upload them, and they have to be approved by staff before they can be used

I like that idea. Of course, Raven's would be a...Raven.

Tael was talking about replacing the pirate decal on ships with a fleet logo (something small).

Good idea, and works well in other Online game using Insignias, crest, emblems, logos to set them apart from others.
Though people would complain that they would be too small to noticed, actually it is quite noticable.

There was something in the dev log two years ago about Faustus adding base functionality for this sort of thing (custom decals).
And I'm nearly certain that if it ever happened, it'd require approval by admins/mods first, and is fairly likely to be limited to fleets.

i remember the time,we discussed this topic in the closed beta, the first time
it was forced by the fact, the MoA were able to put the logo into BI (allowed by BlueByte)
so, we asked faustus "will there be a equal function?"
he never denied it, so, there is still hope

It's doable...
Hence why pirates have their logo...

It's my understanding that the Pirate decal is a "test run" of sorts for just this sort of Idea. I've seen/heard/suggested just this same thing many times. I doubt it will happen in 484, but I have no doubt it wil happen someday.
