I say that when we get our ship customization options, and if paint jobs are one of those options, one of the paints on a Spire is a giant red and white target.
Muse is probably going to have to have a few pre-set paints to each ship, maybe even have a few unlockable/buyable. You're probably not going to be able to paint your own ship any more than coloring a few different parts with a color selector anyway, so I would rather see more complicated/fearsome/pretty designs by Muse themselves.
And COME ON, don't pretend that as soon as you see a Spire, someone doesn't come on the captain's chat and tell everyone to focus fire on that guy?
It's an easy kill if someone on your team is flying a disabler, and too much of a threat if left unchecked.
Therefore, I think turning a Spire into a literal flying target would be both clever and humorous.
As an added bonus, make it the default paint job, so it could possibly point out new pilots on the helm.
