Additional decals, possibly custom-made or clan-exclusive have been suggested in the past. Current decals are fine-looking and everything- however their small number condemns them to fail their purpose of making ships feel unique and recognizable. I'd like to suggest an improvement to the balloon customization system, as it's been already implemented by many games in the past.
The system I'm suggesting relies on having a big number of premade decals which can be used in combination with a multi-dye system and color scheme options to provide creative freedom and much-needed variety.
Below is an example from Guild Wars- there you can choose your emblem, but also it's color, the background color and the outline color.
Similary in Chivalry, when customizing your character you get to pick an emblem, a paint pattern and a combination of 3 colours to further toy with.
I think that such a system would be a vast improvement to the current one. If it also were easily updatable with new decals and schemes (which are not that time-consuming to make and can be even community-made) every so often, it would provide a very cost-efficient added value that's going to be even more relevant with Adventure Mode's release. It could also be used as the basis for the creation for rare, exclusive items which could be given as rewards to individuals for tournament/ladder rankings, event participation etc.
