Moar Customisation!



It's definitely a good thing, it helps people identify with their fleets more.

A few colored sections on the models would work well here, and maybe even have the chance to add decals at some point.

I would really like this. This will be very useful in multiplayer as well. It doesn't matter as much in single player, but we will really need to know who's attacking who when online comes on.

If factions had banners of flags they could be hung off the side of the ship. Although I am not sure why they'd do that when making a spaceship. But if they had little floaty icons with a the faction color and/or symbol on it then it would ruin the cinematic feel of the battle.



Now that I think about about it banners wouldn't work on sophod (is that how it's spelt?) ships. I guess you'd have to go with stripes.



Although I would love to see some cool banners hanging off some empire ships. They all have big flat sides. Perfect spot for one.

I too am putting my support behind this idea.



That being said, please devs don't splash the ships with colour to the point where it's a line of pink bricks attacking a line of blue bricks (in the case of Defenders). Having the engines and maybe some trim coloured according to faction would be more than sufficient, along with maybe a faction logo.

Maybe you could even make engine glow and running lights colored according to your faction, if you didn't want your ship covered in paint.

+1, I was thinking the exact same- difficult to know who to cheer for when fighting the same faction!

hello!



Well, now, i started a new game, and I chose cravers, and I'm fighting against another craver, so in battles, it's very difficult to distinguish my ships with ennmy's ones.



So, how about adding your faction color on ships? Not painted the whole ship, just little skins.

Yep, thats really important. Should be included but I think it shouldn't cover the whole ship. Some decent stripes should be enough.

Agree, this would be a very good way to allow the player to discern what is happening.

Ha, yeah, the arbitrary positioning of the fleets just makes identifying your and thier ships more difficult.

that would be awesome reminds me of homeworlds ship coloring system in multiplayer but different variants would be nice.
