Ship nose art

I don't know if adding "nose art" to the ships in game would even be seen, so it might not be worth it, but having player generated "nose art" or some kind of icon that displays next to the player's name at least in the lobby (and maybe other places) would be a nice personal touch. Add to that some indicator of "kill" markings and now you've got some personalization that we can get excited about.

I want a hot-pink viper with John Stamo's face on the nose. (no homo)

I won't comment on your John Stamos obsession, but being able to apply primary/secondary/highlight colors (ie: Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer) would be an excellent addition to this. Like the Red Baron, you could identify yourself to the field and become and instant target! (or feared... )

I love this idea....

I can picture it now, purple, some magenta, white highlights...

Fear the great and powerful Twilight Sparkle F-250 Of Doom!

Wheeeeeeeeee!

Zoom zoom!

Firepower IS magic.

LOL Okay, I'm making the DMHS - Brony Wing nose art.... just in case.

Something I've been thinking about for a while...glad I'm not the only one.

which part?

It would be cool if only the best player was allowed to look like the red baron.

As long as I get to define "the best player", then I'm okay with that.

I read this a sprayed my drink all over my monitor.

i think all the art customization and cosmetic things for the ship should only be bought with He3 like TF2 does with their hats since they do not affect gameplay its not pay to win and i believe every veteran will want his ship to be unique

damn skippy jack.

also the idea of "clan colors" kinda makes me giddy

As long as I can change my color to the same shade as the asteroids or the hull of the carriers.

"What the.... Did that rock just lazor me??"

Hell yeah... Ambush Sniper. Could you imagine doing that with a Krait?

Yes! Would be fanTAStic . Also might make the nighthawk more worthwhile.

Cream white, just like the 101st. Nobody fucks with The Apostles.

That or dark grey with red accents like my old squadron, the Phantine XX.

The nighthawk is worth MANY whiles.

Don't know bout that. I love the Krait but can't for the life of me get the hang of the nigjthawk. Too much down time between shots and not nearly nimble enough.

You have to punish people with it. You can miss with the Krait, but if you miss with the Nighthawk you need to use Rockets. The Krait gets double rockets, I know...so it's hard to see what the advantage is.

But...when you're out there...drenched in the red glow of warning telltales as your generarium idles fitfully near minimum power...and the silence starts to close in around you like a blanket...and the dew of patience coats your brow...

Oh man, there's nothing like the way your heart starts pounding when you kick that thing up to full power and unleash twin columns of hell into the zooming bat flashing past you...

...You scare me sometimes.

Hmm, if custom art ever happened I could see a lot of pilots turning up with black ships. Its hard to hit what you can't see...

This is the complete red baron movie, where you see the first nose arts:

Gilly-suits for fighters and bombers... that's quite brilliant!

I'd like the ability to change the colour of my HUD name & vapor trail to green
