Pretty Colors!

Let pilots choose the color of their ships in-game. We don't need designs, just simple colors/colours would be nice.

PS.) Zebra Lxy is hideous. Oh no! Look out for the scary Zebra! ...it's coming! It'll tear you apart with its... hooves. It has a vicious bite any grain would be afraid of! Ahhh!

You should post this in CC. Sounds like the exact kind of suggestions they are looking for!

I know at least 4 people playing games on their 1979 Amstrads that are sick of the monochrome screens but the text adventure aspects to their game has them hooked, however your suggestion will ensure they start playing Allegiance.

Try the mods on Mesial's site. I haven't used these, so I don't know what they do to lxy, exactly, but give it a try.

Your idea is probably one of those things that has been proposed a hundred times, and that everyone would want, but that would be very difficult to actually do (if it's possible at all without practically re-writing large chunks of the game's code), and isn't seen to have enough pay-off to make it worth all the effort.

I tried searching for a similar topic but couldn't find one.

Thanks for the link.

I hope this does get done though. Actually you could just add multiples of the same ships with different models into to core. But that would clog up the ship selection menu; would a 2nd layer of drop down menus be possible?

Man, threads die fast here in FAZ.

The dumber they are the faster they die.

No this is just a nice idea which is very very low priority and very hard to implement.

Icky this isn't bad idea, why you so angry all the time?

It's a solution in search of a problem, when there are many many problems that are better candidates for the very limited resources we have here.

Well would adding a 2nd layer within the ship selection drop down menu be possible and easy? It seems it would be.
