I'm not sure how difficult it would be, but i think it would be jizzariffic if hull modules such as cargo expanders and nano-fibers would modify the way your ship looked :X

Armor plates could change ship textures to look like armor plates were added :X

Stuff like that


Talk about insanity right?

This would cause even more lag than custom ship skin , so unless everyone got a magical computer from the future i don't see it happening.

I like this idea.

It would also be nice if drone ships actually had some kind of visible docking ports for the drones rather than the drones just appearing out of hammerspace.

I don't know whether it was some experiment or just a strange bug but when rigs were first being worked on in the test server I fitted a shield rig to my drake, this resulted in some kind of black chimney type model being applied to the drake model, it looked strange but I kind of liked the idea of modules and rigs affecting the look of ships.

Modules shouldn't, but rigs should modify the exterior look of the ship.

Check mark in Options:

"Display customization y/n"

They're going to put one in if they implement the individualized spray-painting anyhow, could easily enough use it for this too.

Doubt much traffic goes down the pipe when dealing with graphics, no need for it. Profile pictures would be the major part I guess. If all models and textures are local to your machine how would this increase lag? Unless your computer is pants I guess.
