I was wondering if maybe we can have ships of slightly different apperance... Like say 2 or 3 of different colors (skins). Exact same stats and model itself. Just a diffent color ultimately.

Hmm... that's a good idea!
Some more variety in the game would be so awesome!:D
I'm serious, this is an awesome idea.
Black titan, red titan, standart titan....damned, i'm in love! :ylove:
There should just some bases added, maybe in the guard systems, make it more crowded.

Duplication of most ships would increase the size of the mod significantly, which is why Igiss didnt want to implement this last time this was brought up. It would be super awesome, but I dont think it will be implemented unfortunately..

Full replacement of the likes of the Valkyries with Wraths might work by creating more room though...

I'd rather be in favour of modifying the Wrath-esqu fighters to make them look slightly different to the base model... Since people do use them when they first start here.

That's a good point too. I can imagine the Templar, for instance, having plenty decorative crap on it. The Wrath, I can imagine as maybe marker and scarier.

Yea it would take much more space, but who cares?
The game will have more variety and more fun.
Just imagine a fleet of fighters or bombers, which all have different colors, this would be really awesome.
If you download a 50mb mod or a 150mb mod, who cares? Takes a while, but then you have the mod.

Here's my tip for getting your ship in different colours.
1. Join the Hessians and buy a Loki LF
2. Turn up at Friday event versus the Corsairs.
3. Hey presto, your ship will change from dull green to vibrant bright orange and red in no time.
Enjoy!

Why not just edit the .MAT file and then create multiple, but unique entries for the variants and then link them to the change of skin in the .ini?
You wouldn't need any new models as long as the textures had the right names..

Make em purchasable at the same bases they normally would (assuming there isn't some kind of ship limit per base)
On another note pretty much all of us have DSL or some fast internet. It really wouldn't hurt of it jacked up by 50megs. Also the new version would almost entirely be used online, considering sp has been cut from the next ver from what I'm hearing so that kinda puts all of it's future users with moderately fast internet.....
