With the new addition of cosmetics to our ships, I thought it best to gather all the ideas and requests for the latest ship fashions all in one place, as well as to open the floor for general discussion on the matter. Want an awesome set of bull-horns strapped to your Junker's balloon? Looking for a flaming skull with snakes coming out of its eyes as a balloon decal? Post it here.
I also wish to offer a reminder that the implementation of user generated content/steam workshop contributions is still an option we are exploring and hoping to provide in the future. Clan-specific logos will be largely reliant on this feature as well, so keep your requests accessible to the playerbase at large.
And before you ask- the "Birthday" theme is already the subject of discussion among the team.
Opening the floor.

Figurehead suggestion - Kitty ears on the ship, place on the side of the balloons or in case of moba.. I dunno.. upside down >_>
Themes suggestion - Pet Shop/Pet Trader - Deals with trading pets! Cages, possible a cats, dogs and.. parrots and so on, hidden in varies chubby holes around the ships.
-
Purple balloon paint with golden fins for the Goldfish ^_^
-
Ship name on side of ship
-
Smiley face / "have a nice day" Balloon Logo
Green thumb ship theme - green plants in plant pots and hanging holders, maybe even grass on the deck.
Shark Mouth and eyes Figurehead
-
Nothing impersonates "CHAAAAARGE!" like a rhinoceros. We totally need rhino-figureheads for our rambitious Pyramideons.
-
Since this is the thread for ship customization wants I might as well link this here and give it my support.
https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,3940.0.html
IMO I would like that figurehead to have more of the cog present so as to wrap itself around the bow instead of sticking out so prominently.
Also, having decals for the symbols of each of the factions on the main site would be pretty neat for those that wish to align themselves to their factions. Although, it seems that Anglea and the Fjord Baronies need their own symbols since it seems they don't have one.
-
White dye, such as that of the original mobula.
-
I'd like to see secondary colours for ships that would paint the hulls.
As for themes:
Homey theme: make it look like your crew actually lives on the ship and doesn't have a home port. add things like sleeping rolls, extra plants, cook ware like a stove and pans, and have laundry hanging from the ropes. not really an awesome theme but more funny seeing trousers flying in the breeze during a battle.
Raider theme: adds metal cages and intimidating spikes to make the ship look like it is heavily into the business of raiding caravans and taking slaves.
Boneyard theme: decorates the ship with animal bones, and hides such as buffalo skulls or whale bones lining the walls, and fur carpets.
add an authentic elephant skull for a figure head to go with the boneyard theme, and perhaps a skeleton hanging in a cage as a figure head to go with the raider theme.
-
Clearly ships need Duckbills.
It's obvious in a post apocalyptic airship driven era, duckbills would be high fashion on any traiding, raiding or military vessel.
-
Cultural themes - Anglea, Baronies, Yesha (Well, most of the ships are Yesha to start), Guild, Arashi, Chaladon
Automoton Theme - This could serve as an Anglean theme also but just have the theme being with some automotons on board the ship. Think Bioshock vending machine style.
Pirate hunter - Bullet holes and makeshift armor patch jobs. Hash marks signifying kills. Wanted signs posted in parts of the ship.
Ghost ship - As it states, looks like an undead airship. Maybe add some eerie glow effects to it. This could be a special seasonal theme.
Christmas ship - Again another special holiday ship but with snowmen and such on board.
Air Pirate - No brainer. Stolen cargo, booze bottles, and piles of treasure.
Also, themes that change more of the stock appearance. Not just around the basic frame. So say a theme which adds more of an armored shroud to some of the balloons. Just for looks of course but it would be a good prep for Adventure mode where people would likely want customization like that.
-
Themes:
Cursed theme:
Worn out flags with holes in them hanging loosely from the ship, dark armour with blackened brass linings, small candle lanterns, skulls on spikes aligning the sides of the ship, along with possibly some treasure.
Eldritch theme: The ship appears ghostly... almost as if the ship no longer be real but an apparition.
Figure heads:
Skeletons of various types e.g. one holding a chalice, or another with a thorn crown and arms crossed.
Siren: an alluring woman, with one hand over her heart and the other reaching outwards. Her face a menacing grin...
Banshee: A woman in a torn dress strapped to the bow, chains encircling her. Her face screaming in the wind...
Emblems:
Pirate flags/symbols e.g. Jolly Roger
Ye best start believing in ghost stories... ;)
-
Pirate hunter - Bullet holes and makeshift armor patch jobs. Hash marks signifying kills. Wanted signs posted in parts of the ship.
And, if possible, make those wanted signs actually display the current top wanted people from the wanted list. Because how awesome would that be.
-
Oh, would it be possible to have different balloon colors for different loadouts as well as different ship names? I don't want to have to re-dye the balloon and re-name my ship everytime I want to roleplay a different ship.
-
Ship Decals: Faction Logos (how is that not a thing yet? :P)
Ship Themes: Faction Themes, but I would mostly love to see the current themes updated to the point where the difference between the clear ship and a themed ship will be overwhelming. Every wall, floor and object covered with theme-related stuff.
Other than that I like the Boneyard and Raider theme ideas mentioned before. I'd also love to see something related to the Greek or Egyptian culture.
Ship Figureheads: I'd like to see something like Hydra heads or snakes coiled around an object (bowsprit maybe?). I would also love to see a drill or disc saw for additional ramming satisfaction :P
Speaking of ideas, Ship Figureheads and Decals could have some more love with the placement choice, and would be nice if there was an option to change decal's size to some extent.
Is there a thread like this about Character cosmetics? I sure do have some wishes when it comes to this one :P
-
Flame decals.
Because those exist in the real world, too.
Maybe just some sort of fire logo?
-
1) Balloon patterns, not just dyes. So instead of applying a flat colour to the balloon, it would apply a pattern, say... stars. Or vertical stripes. Or a single horizontal stripe. Or a camouflage pattern. Etc etc.
2) Faction specific decals. So you can declare your loyalty. But perhaps these could include the subgroups too. Does Sylka have a "state" symbol?
3) Perhaps some more radical cosmetic changes that make the ship look much different. I dunno how feasible that would be.
4) Special themes with particle effects. Like if your ship was a SKY WHALER, you might have certain processing facilities on board that spew out black smoke. Ok - this one is a little more silly.
-
Flame decals.

Maybe just some sort of fire logo?
Did you say Fire logo?
Possible textual Description:
A flame within a golden circle resembling a plate, with an oven in the center.
-
Whaler/Fisherman theme:
Whale bones, scrimshaw, fishing nets, rendering vats, spare harpoons, and barrels of fish
Figure head: Skull of a sky whale or other large Arial/aquatic animal.
-
As unlikely as it is to happen, I would really like a Hammer Figure for my pyramidion. Also I would like to see some more balloon paint colors aswell as decal colors
-
We're having so many pirate-inspired themes (apart from the royal one) - why not have a 1800's navy like one? Could add cannonball crates, idle AI-figures (not moving and without nametag and tools of course, dressed up blue-gold-white/red-gold-white maybe?), sponges for scrubbing and buckets on the floor and so on...
Edit: An anchor laying around and ropes hanging from the balloon too maybe?

I endorse this suggestion.

While my fellow Cakes have asked for Flames (cause duh), I shall ask for CAKES! Or that, to be specific, a birthday cake... with FLAMES! Ya know, as a decal... or if you wanna be really epic, as a ship theme XD (like, cakes all over the ship, and things that project flames in various directions around the ship, and cool stuff like that)
-

Sounds like you weren't around during the anniversary.

That's nice and all, but I'm not asking for a temporary cake. I'm asking for a cake I can always have.
-
I'd super dig a fancy art theme with marble statues and columns and paintings and fancy structures/devices sitting on pedestals. Extra points for stuff falling over and breaking as the ships hull takes damage. I'd buy that for a dollar.
-
We need pattern decals for our balloons.
Like, polka dot. Patterns could only be applied with a dye. So, for example, red dye polka dots, the balloon would have red polka dots.
Also, brighter, more vibrant colors. I demand a neon pink Galleon balloon.
-
I was made fun of because my Yellow Squid on Dunes looked tryhard camouflaged. :(
-
Another suggestion: Make it so that themes either don't remove lights or include working lights (traveler and royal have them but they don't light up). Ships look weird and gloomy without lights on most maps imo
-
That's just your brightness, or potentially your monitor's calibration... (I use a custom calibration for color saturation, so meh.)
-
Clan symbols on ships
-
Skeleton figurehead.
-
Anchors for ships to stop movement faster.

A Dollar is far to cheap and I don't think a ship made of marble could fly?
-
I think it would be nice to allow player-made cosmetics and have the community vote on favourites. It would be nice to have that community input into a game like this.
-
Skeleton figurehead.

Yeah, this or maybe even like a steam workshop thing
-
Leonardo Da Vinci's workshop theme (aka, Science and discovery). Telescopes, flying machine models, maps, geographical globes, drawings, scrolls, sextants, etc.
-
I like the idea of a Smuggler/Merchant/Cargo Runner theme. Crates lying around, maybe a cot or two, etc.
-
I don't think anyone has mentioned this so here is my idea:
The Breadbasket
Essentially it would be a farmers theme for your ship (an air fleet needs food as much as it needs oil) and it would have lots of potted plants/trees (we all know we love those orange trees on our ship) it would also have bushels oh hay, rain water troughs, flour mills (wind powered and the hand powered stone ones) and last but not least, a pet Sheep named Billy that provides the ship with nice wool and a tasty snack in dire situations.
-
I know it's probably a little thing to most and would likely take a lot of effort, but it really bugs me that the lamps and decorations hanging from the ship (especially in the Royal decoration package) do not ever move.
When the ship makes maneuvers, they should swing and sway a little bit. When they just remain static, they look silly and more cartoonish than the rest of the ship and detract from the overall look.
Additionally, I'd like to see more items like astrolabes or steampunk gear like barometers and maybe working windchimes.
I think it could all go a long way in taking the game beyond simple zerge-fest skirmish mode.
-
MOST of all, I wish each ship had actual modeled interior spaces beyond the minimal "hull" and "balloon" and "weapons" stations. Things like small staterooms, galleys, heads, and ballast/storage bays would be great, and most of the ships (even the squid) have areas that could be developed like this.
-
maybe a cakle....
WHAT, who said that?!
-
A small airship in bottle may be nice decoration for some of ship themes
-
May i suggest that gunners be the only ones with the ability to zoom in with any weapons? this would make the gunner role more desirable-
just my 2 cents.

Wrong thread
-
Could we get custom hull and balloon 'machine' repair point models or textures to go with each theme?
-
there are a few ideas i have
Thank You SON
a figurehead that's a metal bar with at the end a fist with spiked knuckles (so that if you ram someone it looks like you are punching them) (for reference, pic)
aegis
a figurehead that's basically a shield with a spike in the middle
bandit theme
over some of the railings, there would be hides of animals (ya now, fur etc)
knives would be stuck in some of the walls
here and there would be bottles lying around
on ships with space (those who have barrels and pots in traveler) could have a small table with cards, money, bottles and a knife on them (and a small piece of sausage)
there are black and red flags attached to the ropes
on random places there can be coins or chests with loot
-
Some Post-Apocalyptic stuff with the rusty metal plates, and so..
Some Demonic stuff - horns, spikes, skulls... maybe skulls would fit Post-Apocalyotic too :)
-
Just lots of rubber ducks and bread crumbs
-
Give me animated expensive themes. Themes that have animated stuff like barrels going left and right and some other effects like tesla lightnings and stuff etc etc.
Like the barrel one, it moves depending on how the ship turns and etc.
I dont seem to have mentioned this on this thread.
-
Winter theme. Icy decks and railings, with icicles hanging from the rigging and balloon.
-
Where's the Jolly Roger Icon?
I'm sad there's no Jolly Roger icon.
How am I supposed to privateer now?
-
Hold a competition. The winning clan gets a figurehead and a insignia, and second and third get a insignia on their balloons. Because the people that win tournaments are the kind of people that might be into buying a giant image to put on their ships.
Also a swan figurehead.
-
logos:
-frying Dutchman
a pirate stirring a kettle
-chef crook
a jolly roger but with a spoon and fork for bones and a chefs hat
(linked gunner costume: kiss the crook which is an apron)
-sell-out
this icon would be just words like an advertisement for a fake brand (ex "Roger balloon parts" or "Debby's engine shop")
figureheads:
-mermaid ( you need this, really)
-wyvern
-mammoth tusks/skull
themes:
-forsaken
(haunted theme)
the hull and the balloon would look damaged and worn
at he hull, steering wheel and 2 of the guns would be a skull and bones
spread over the ship are candles with a green/cyan flame
chains would hang on some places
over the floor would hang a thin mist layer
upon being destroyed, the ship does not explode, but becomes pale white, then vanishes while a ghastly scream/moan is heard
-
Make:
Scorpion logo
Scorpion Figurhead (remember that that scorpions have 8 legs and claws [since i have seen so many art made of scorpions and they only had 6 legs])
Then my life will be compleat and i will sail the skys as ramming scorpion.
-
Hmm I like the idea of on old ships they had a mermaid figure head but what if instead of a mermaid you had a Valkyrie where the wings would wrap the hull and it'd be like the old mermaids
And the ability to pick the placement of decals or create their own to put either on the hull or the balloon and be able to change the color of the decals
Also maybe different designs for the parts like the hull and balloon have different models to select from they may give an overal boost to the ship like different engine models that increase speed or increase mobility but decrease amount of sustainable damage or if you get faster engines you get less mobility or a different balloon which gains and drops altitude faster but has a lower durability then you can ad the pilot perks on top of them and maybe add hull armor which decreases your speed and altitiude gain but increases your fall rate and speed while declining altitude

That's beginning to sound a lot like modular ship parts haha. It would be very interesting but I think these are only supposed to be cosmetic upgrades, not performance ones. :D

The beauty about GoIO is that you don't have a better chance to win from leveling, unlocking items, or throwing money at the game.
A lot of games do that and I for one am glad GoIO does not.
All that separates the rich from the poor is potentially better hardware.
All that separates the lvl 15s from the lvl 1s is purrsonal experience.

In terms of cosmetics,
I have always liked the idea of being able to change my tools, i,e a golden spanner or a fire extinguisher with a decal on it, ship cosmetics i like the royal theme, but how about the opposite a run down theme were everything is falling apart and held together with tape glue and hope.

how about engines, fixed up with old women's tights? I seen this creative solution of repair on old russian car and it completely stroke my mind XD
But if seriously, some slobby theme will be really cool.

i want destructive tools
an axe model instead of the spanner
a crowbar instead of the pipe wrench
the rubber mallet replaced by a spiked mace
the extinguisher would be a small flamethrower
the chem spray an oil can

With maybe a raider or bandit theme that could look really cool and you have the mohawk hair just need some chain jackets
-
Wishlist, huh?
<s>
Santa developers, all I want is a golden statue honouring my engineers and a proper timepiece for the vessel.
</s>
In more seriousness, a colour coded hull would be nice. But probably unneeded. I need to think more about this.
-
I like the idea mentioned in this thread of adding horns and sounds to ships.
https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,4340.0.html
Would probably require another button to use but it would add a lot of personality to ships and the captains behind them.
-
Left click is not used on the helm, so no real issue on the extra buttons side of things.
On that 'note', a celebration/music ship theme.
Theme name: Calliope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliope_%28music%29)
Makes your ship look like a giant circus calliope, obviously.
(http://www.thecircusblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Howes-Great-London-Circus-1921Steam-Calliope-.jpg)
-
I think it will be a nice Idea to have Clan emblems available on ships. This will be a great feature for tournaments and casual games.
-
Cat lovers theme named Mraulanna after B'Elanna.
Balls of yarn, feather toys, and scratching posts abound. Even add some litter boxes. Just enough for all 4 crew members.
-
A Jolly Rodger decal for the balloon.
I mean, I thought a skull and cross-bones were standard operating procedure when it came to ship combat.
-
Clan emblems as a customisation toggle would be nice to see, as many have mentioned.
Also, I thought of a way to print ship names. At the moment, you can buy or unlock inks to paint your balloon and to recolour any emblem. Keep the balloon colour as the primary paint, and add ship name as a secondary. With the default clear paint, nothing would be visible, but if you choose to spend an ink you can add the name onto the side of your ship.
Also, a theme that hangs fluffy dice above the helm would be great. Thanks.
-
Tarps over guns and cargo on deck so you look like a Q-ship.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-ship)
-
A clockwork theme would be very cool... Cogs, gauges (like the war room pilot outfit), miscellaneous contraptions, and clocks lying around the ship. :P Maybe decorate some areas with wooden reinforcements/outlines, with brass/gold decorations or something... (Think Fable 2 master clockwork weapons but applied to a ship perhaps?)
-
Custom bloons for mines please. Also different color gat lasers. I'd like green.
-
Custom bloons for mines please.
I would definitely second this, sounds awesome! However...I dunno if anyone would see it. Would have to be very colorful - but then again might make it too easy to dodge. Either way I think its an interesting cosmetic choice.
I would also like to see a panda emblem/figurehead. Or at least a bear of some sort. That is black. And white. And fluffy. I would definitely pay money for this, how much does your artist make per hour? I'll pay his salary for it =D
-
If pandas managed to survive the great war, than I'd be pretty impressed.
-
If pandas managed to survive the great war, than I'd be pretty impressed.
Even if they didn't, we need some sort of memorial!
-
If pandas managed to survive the great war, than I'd be pretty impressed.
I'd like to change my retort to "oh so octupus, sylphs, valkyries, angels, mechanical dragons, and chrysomallus (are those octopus lions?) survived?"
Therefore pandas should be revered as mystical symbols of bravery and awesomeness and should merit a figurehead as well.

Here are some basic concepts that can be expanded upon and refined.
Explorer
The airship was an opportunity too immense for some men to resist. Faced with the impenetrable wild explorers set out to make all things known to all men. Equipped with the latest in navigational tools, weighed down by the tonnes of star charts/continental maps/and ancient scribblings, and decorated with the unusual and forgotten relics of lost civilisations, an adventurer is always prepared to venture out into the unknown currents of the skies.
Merchant
The winds carry more than an airship, they carry the fortunes and hopes of empires. An explorer may make a new way through the untamed clouds but a merchant carves out the deep roads. Loaded with various crates of exotic spices, seasonal foods, warm furs, essential machinery, and whatever is in demand, the men of the coin are the backbone that keeps civilisation standing and its purses full.
Doctor
As the reaches of a nation expand further out, a simple error for those living in the boarder lands can easily spiral from minor consequences to life threatening. However, the infrastructure isn't strong enough to support emergency services in every town, so mobile airships are modified to meet the need. Prepared for every crisis a mobile hospital comes complete with life support gear, on the field surgery room, precious medicine, and winches for remote rescue. They are the true angels of the heavens.
Scientist
The pursuit of knowledge is a feverish pastime and those who dedicate themselves to it are quickly absorbed by it. Jerry-rigged observational equipment, weather balloons, heavily worded text books, technical instruments, and arcane electrical coils are all strapped onto the hulls of ships and launched out into the eye of the nearest storm to gather as much data as possible. For these brave or foolish men a life without knowledge is more dangerous than life without risk.
Nomad
For some men there is no home to go back to, no national banner to live under, no way to go but forward. Drifting lazily through the skies their airships are more than just transport they are a home to live in and to protect. The comforts of every home adorn each nook and cranny with small trinkets, portable beds, kitchenettes, and relaxing chairs overlooking the vast mountain ranges and fading sunsets. A nomad is not homeless or lost, poor or barbaric, they are complete wherever they are.

Was a fishing theme mentioned? If not, Fishing theme. Nets, crab cages, and other fishing paraphernalia.
With that, fisherman outfits. Especially Creepy Raincoat Man.

During some battles i like to take a step back and go to the ol' northern fjords fishin' hole. The one in blue spawn, near the middle, at the bottom of the valley. It's nice and calm down there.
-
the helm doesn't currently change for any of the themes, right?
because we need more wheel options.
I'm sure the pilot's really not looking at the wheel for the duration of his time on the helm, but for anyone watching a stream or a youtube vid from a pilot's point of view when they leave it in first person perspective, that wheel is the majority of what they see. might as well make it something pretty to look at and give it some variety between streams.

This, aaand we need more gun options, I'd love to see different models for the weapons that come with the themes or have the weapon set as an independent customisation option (some that you could perhaps unlock at different levels).
-
Going to throw a mad bone here.
Sounds like a theme for support ship.
Ship's theme: military mobile hospital.
List of possible decorations:
1) large and open area of ship (basicly repurpused for field surgery):
-number of bed rolls;
-number of surgical tools scattered around;
-number of bottles with various alcohol liquids;
-possibly even few "patients" either animated or not;
-blood, obviously.
2) Front or side areas:
-banners with red scorr emblem.
Also, this for decal:

And afte actually reading the thread I see that similiar thing was already suggested.
Oh well.
-
For both ships and personal use, team-color dye (possibly in a few different shades) would be nice. Dye something team color and it's red if you're on the red team and blue if you're on the blue team.
-
How about custom team colors? Red vs Blue? Been done. Let's let the crews vote on team colors like Orange, Green, Yellow, Violet, Brown, Black, White, etc. Red vs Blue lobbies would become the new colors.

Yeah! red vs orange, cant tell who is who but that's half the fun!
-
Dunno if its been suggested, but I know I'd like all the ship theme's to have animations (Like the industrial theme). Idk why, but the Royal theme bugs me to no end, because the flags don't move in the wind, when the other team color flags do.

Team Spring green. Make it so!
-
I'd love to see a Day of the Dead ship theme. That, and a giant skull for a decal.
-
Paint that is designed to blend in with certain maps. Have a Dust/Sand textured paint job so its harder to see in Dunes. Some building-style dazzle that works for Labyrinth/Paritan.
-
Cosmetics for the components would be nice. They could change the apperaence of guns, the helm, armor, engines and the balloonmachine.
"Worn" for example could add rust to some components like the mortar. The goldlayer on the hwachaheads could be fading (or scaling, don´t know if its the correct word) away. The helmwheel would be missing some spokes and so on.
They could be fitting to the shipthemes allready implemented.
-
More balloon colors plz :D
-
Pirates of the burning sea had masts that you could apply designs to once they cleared a person who checked them for inappropriate content. Having this on balloons would add depth to groups also. I understand fully how much this would add to the already demanding jobs of the game masters.

Relevant question: whats the ETA on Workshop support?

Left click is not used on the helm, so no real issue on the extra buttons side of things.
On that 'note', a celebration/music ship theme.
Theme name: Calliope (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliope_%28music%29)
Makes your ship look like a giant circus calliope, obviously.

Massive salutes, TOTALLY on board with this. Completely, totally on board. On a kill it could play!

UFO style ship please. Thanks.

This will not happen. All cosmetics, ship designs and so on are based on Steam-punk and Guns of Icarus Lore.
Pink hats such as my characters profile pic - yes, lore dictates that some people like to dress lavishly.
A UFO... I'd rather get rammed by a Pyramidion. not probed by a UFO. :-\
-
Actually, a round ship that kind looks like a ufo would be kinda neat. One with a big ol balloon in the center

In a steam-punk format, I agree, may be a good all round fighter. literally.
-
Imagine an upside down mobula, shaped like a disk, all the weapons and components only being accessible through ladders, metal walkways under the balloon..
Unfortunately thinking about playing on it reminds me.of a.spire
-
How about this,
A large wide yet thin balloon. a disc
two large propellers on top, like a helicopter, keeping the vessel afloat,
a larger circular walkway around the balloon with 6 guns on each point like a hexagon and 1 helm.

Flamer spam ship! Or mines!
Fire! Once reloading move to next gun, while the ship spins, and just let the crew play leap frog in the guns while spinning

MORE SHIPS, HOOOO
-
just get the workshop slaves to work on it

Maybe use Greased 'Shee. Meta would work, too.

WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE OUR OWN CLAN EMBLEMS TO PUT ON THE SIDE OF OUR SHIPS AT A CERTAIN CLAN LEVEL OR PERSONAL CLAN LEADER LEVEL!!
Please? <3
P.S: Also, maybe the clan name to be put on the ship? =)

We should be able to type in a civilized manner to put our point across in the clearest manner possible, in order to be understood and influence communities without being looked down on for grammatical errors and/or attitude, especially so after necroing a thread.
Not a bad idea by the way, it'd take a lot of effort that muse likely wouldn't accomplish in their own part without a good reason, but if we all banked on that fact noone would throw ideas around.
-
As a player who plans to regularly reset his lvl (now delayed because dumb vet game stuff), nah.
-
Mustache figurehead, please

Being able to choose my death explosion would be incredible. If I die I want to burst into fireworks some days, maybe celebrate my release from this world with a burst of confetti on other days. If I'm feeling festive, perhaps snowflakes. Etc. etc. A whole new level of decorating the skies.

This!
All of this!
Muse shut up and take my money! I want to pick my ending!
Mushroom cloud... Ship combusting and turning into a mass of Tentacles..... I think I have more luck with mushroom cloud, but yeah I like the idea of picking our death.
-
We require more figureheads!
Seriously, even if I really like the ones that are already available, we need moar. I wouldn't mind another dragon figurehead, that is more dragonish and less steam-punkish.
The figurehead of the infamous Queen Anne's Revenge (Blackbeard's ship, really existed.).
Also a raven, of even the figurehead of a crow.
It should be made also a ship theme for the infamous Grim Reapers clan, with, you know, skulls, bones, black carpets, candles, a general dark gothic design, that also changes the death-explosion effect, (like the birthday party one does), and releases an evil looking miasma.
Also, since some members of the community are totally insane and revere the Mine Launcher, the Phobos, as a divinity, there should be also an emblem portraying the Ancient Greek divinity Phobos, or even a figurehead portraying him...
Wait...
Why not both?
Also, the guns sounds are good, but I want a gun-sound to be like a shriek, a woman's horrified scream, to engage also in psychological combat, other than actual combat, that makes you think:
"Well, fuck. That is gonna hurt a lot."
-
I would like to change skin/theme for UI and icons and stuff, but if that's too much to ask for then just different main menu background would be very cool. I want some sci-fi looking skin with fancy blue/white/black combo style.
-
Brother's In Arms theme.
Actually have quarters and personal themes and such, cots or hammocks hanging on some places, something like a small stove for cooking meals on or a spot where someone would be painting or something. Like on the Galleon, you could have a kitchen inside the engine bay beneath the piloting spot, and a dinner table out on the deck, or a painting in progress up on the Poop deck.
Meanwhile on a Junker you could have bits that the engineers are fixing, like a part of an engine being repaired, while the guner has a spare gatling gun next to his/her cot on the bottom deck like they were repairing it cuddling it.
Small stuff like that. It would make it much more homely and personal, like the ship were the home of those on board.
-
This one isn't a ship cosmetic, but I think it would work well all the same:
Walking Armory costume for the male gunner. I'm honestly surprised that it's not a thing, where the gunner has pistols and belts of ammunition hanging off of his every part. A bandolier with three pistols stuffed into it, a fourth on his right hip, a fifth around the back stuffed into his beld, a sixth in his left boot... something like that!
And definitely with the shotgun from the Fortress theme on his back. Maybe a knife or two in a few places and a couple grenades hanging on his belt.
It is kind of surprising that that one hasn't been made yet, with how the gunners do look. The reason I was pointing this one to the male gunners is due to the Lost Soldier costume for the females. Seriously, female costumes, so much better. Soooo much better.
-
This thread is still stickied, so I'll engage in some necromancy.
The Traveler theme adds a few potted plants to each of the ships, but it's not nearly enough. The ship needs to be decked out like a private garden. The Chaladon hippies will love it, too.
Oh, and add some potted plants to the Shrike's Traveler theme if you can. Last I remember from the open alpha, it didn't have any. It made me sad.

I do like the idea of making your own emblem on your own ship.
This idea is very nice for the competitive scene because you're making your ship a bit more unique.
It could be as simple as just the clan emblem or a simple tool implemented in the game to make your own emblem.
The downside of this is that you can make excplicit emblems. But I beleive that adding a report option for that would solve this solution. Also in the competitive scene it would be unlikely that you want to be recognised as the captain that flies with an obscene emblem. Could also implement penalties and sanctions for flying with explicit or obscene in competitive games.
