This is purely cosmetic.
Rigs will show up as attached object on ships. Each rig will look differently giving ships different looks even though same hull.
They could also come in the form of texture changes, or particle changes like a different colour engine trail.

Not as drastic of a change as T3 modules of course but just enough to make it inetresting in equipping rigs just for looks.

I kind of like this idea. I could look at someone's ship and try to get an idea of how they fitted it.

It makes the actual graphics of space more informative and encourages people to look at something besides the list of targets on the right of the screen.

I honestly think PoCo based sov is a good idea https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1417544

I already suggested the idea for medium slots. I do thin rigging and low slots should be internal or texture-based.

This is just for Rigs not modules. Although modules would be nice too but way too many to do?

Never thought of using it a visual recon that's very useful too.


An extra step to make it even more 'cool' is that certain combination of rigs yield something new. (eg) 2x T2 Scanning strength increase rigs would attach a small dish on top of the craft instead of a little antenna a single T2 rig would yield.

Basically visual alchemy.
