Custom factions can have the racial appearance of one race, and the ships of another

Just a small cosmetic change, because I personally think there are a couple of factions that look kinda ugly but have really cool ships and vice-versa.



(In case my title wasnt all that clear, what I'm asking for is to be able to play as, say, the cravers piloting the ships of the amoeba or something like that)

Hissho are such beautiful Birds...but their ships...i mean okay their Fighters and bombers are awesome but the rest is just ridicoulus! Samurai Birds flying with imo Egypt like spacecrafts...no way^^

a step up from this maybe would be being able to pick and choose what you want your custom faction's ships would look like out of a list of all the races ships. personally i would love to see a pilgrim dreadnaught with some UE destroyers in a fleet.

If I am not mistaken, all the core visuals of a faction are tied together via their Affinity Map. So while I think it would be possible for Amp to do, it might end up being more trouble than its worth. But I'm all for it if feasible smiley: approval



@Sovereign: what's the big deal? Just about every major sailing power carved figure heads and symbols into their ships (Viking Dragon, English Lion, etc.) So I don't see how the Hissho ships are anything less than magnificent^^ that's why I don't see the iconic Egyptian bird when I look at the Hissho ships

Would be the most awesome thing but also the most work i guess^^

I just like having the ships that look like a bunch of plate steel welded together and annihilating the pretty, organic, curvy ships.



Maybe I have some issues to work out.

Yep. There is something about them that isn't quite right.

To be honest, I would rather fight 3 Cravers on a max-sized map than work with the Horatio in an alliance. I mean, it's nothing personal against Horatio fans, but they're just creepy, whereas fighting a Cyborg-insect Hive Mind (or two) makes much more sense to me than work with a guy who decided to infinitely clone himself across the entire galaxy.

By the way, anyone else create a mega-powered custom Harmony faction and unleash it on a max-sized galaxy with 7 cravers on Newbie?
