Now one of my friends said he would not play simply because it doesn’t have enough customization in general, like ship model itself. So here is a suggestion, add the ability to modify ship wings, and other little details.
So say the lightbringer model, the big fins on the back, be able to change to another one with spikes on the back or something.
I know this would require redoing ship models, and separate the model into pieces. Also would require loading all this customization each battle. However, I think it would be very good feature for players. Each ship will have a set of different parts, and some can be used on multiple ships, so like jericho interceptors could share some features. Also parts will cost GS and will be permanent part you can use for the future. All ships will come with default parts as well.
Say I wanted to make my stilleto more sharp looking, I could change a few parts.
Probably just going to get a “Never will happen” or “Not planned” but I think it could be a really awesome long term feature to work towards on the side.
To be fair, there are only 45 standard ship models, spread across 135 standard ships and 48 premiums.
There’s a couple of other unique ships on top of that, but that still only lifts the model total up to 62. I don’t necessarily think changing ship models is necessary, but I’d like some more custom options - especially on the Pirate / DLC ships.
To not play a game because of visual customization is simply ignorant. I hope that person does not consider themselves a gamer.
Modeling takes significant time, I would much rather that be invested into game mechanics or new ships.
You may want to point out that there is almost 200 different ships, that seams pretty damn custom to me…
Well I am not him, he doesn like the game mechanics, but that seems to be one feature that isn’t here that pushes him away. Maybe its because he likes sandbox games a lot as do I.

62 isn’t terrible, its much better than doing a whole 135. Like I said in my post, work on it on the side, not be priority, just something that is slowly worked towards.
