This was just an idea that me and a corp member talked about, don't know if it a good idea. But I didn't see it in the search.

What I found instead was a lot of people posting that they want to see decals, paint jobs and ectra.

My idea a little more simple then that. The idea is short, so I will not clog it up by making a long winded post.

Idea: What if mid and low slots affected how the ship looked? Like lets say adding extra armor to the ship can cause a visual que of the ship looking slightly bulker, maybe some armor patches put here and there as an example.

like how changing the sub-system on a T3 changes how the ship looks, even of only marginally?

get a T3, that'd be way to much work for reward. though if you make the graphics, CCP might use them.....

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

But why should your opponent get to know, or at least have a very good guess, at how you're fit just by looking at you?

why shouldn't they?
ppl already check for gun types, hardeners, subsystems etc etc

its a part of recon and intel and separates good scouts from bad ones. The idea has come up before, and i'd love it. U can still hide fits by cloaking, staying off grid until the last moment or docking.

Well, I've ALWAYS wanted MWDs to give ship trails the rings it has around it in the icon- that's be amazing!

You just described what I do in a fight! =D
It would be rather aesthetically pleasing to see modules have an external visual affect on the ship, and it would be consistent with CCP's previously stated goal of providing ewar with visual models as well.
