Rundown Looking Ship

[Croft]

Is there any way of making a ship look damaged or rundown without having the hull on a quarter HP? Perhaps something that can replace lights (smoke, sparks etc) or the engine? It's not an absolute requirement for the character I have in mind but it'd certainly help to look the part.

Cheers

nope, textures are textures, even if you was to change your looks, everyone else would still see the default textures

It is possible to SRP smoke effects.

Ah nice one, I'll have a look at what effects will give the desired look. Thanks Snak3.

Technically you could go all the way and request a unique ship SRP with actual mesh changes (dents in the hull) and texture changes (scratches and the like). Although you would need to find a modeler/texturer willing to do it, and you'll need to match the unique ship SRP requirements.

Probably too much effort, although I'm guessing it'd be a relatively easy unique ship SRP to receive.

But yeah, a few of the effects you could place on light hardpoints could also help a ship look damaged.

One billion credits is far too rich for my blood, it's a nice thought to have a custom made rustbucket but I think I'll stick with my initial plan of a bactrian.
Any ideas on what effects could be used and if the SRP for them still requires 250 mill?
