For every variation of the skin we must have a separate .mat file and a separate ship definition. Meaning we would have as many ships as we would want skins.
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

Modfy the id items, so that they create a mod el on the ship at given hard points (like turrets, guns thusters, ect), this model is simple, has the logo/emblem of the ids given owner. This would make it so that if i were flying say a train, with a Kusari id (why, i dont know) youd see the kusari triangle symbol on the side o me ship. I see a flaw with it hower, theres no single shape that would fit every ship, and for some the symbol might be too small, or too big. If stuff can be scaled in game based on the size of your ship , than itle be pretty easy. even iff stuff cant be scaled dynamically in game the person whos acually makeing the emblem (panel i guess it could be called) could just make a small one, a medium one, and a big one.
Its a bit of a catch all, but at least it should work.
I had good luck tonight; I modeled the whole thing in three hours when parents weren't home. I'll post screenies on Monday; leaving to The Place Without Internet for the weekend.

On the matter of replacing the Zoner Jugg.. Don't you dare..
On the matter of using this model.. Well Zoners are in a desperate need for a cruiser atm.. That would look like a good Cruiser, or even Battlecruiser.
Juggernaut stays, or someone dies.. New ship comes in so I can finally have a damned Zoner cruiser or BC.:dry:
No, the point of the mod was to try and keep the ships imported looking like Freelancer ones ... We don't always
have talented shipwrights prepared to put the work in to make FL models.
Of course it hasn't worked the whole time, though in general the result has been ok. Re-skinning some of the
imports would make a lot of difference.
Those ships that keep getting brought up now, have been here rather a long time now, and we sort of got used
to them. Till we have viable alternatives, lets leave them alone.
