Weapon skins.
« on: August 03, 2015, 05:16:42 am »
I'd pay money to make my Gatling gun look different from my opponents. Functionally identical but looks cooler then th stock weapon skins.

The question here quickly becomes "Who gets to chose the skins?". Captains already get a disproportionate ability to change appearance because of ship themes and balloon decals, but there is no good way to give crew the ability to change things on a pilot's ship. As much a Counterstrike player as I am, I don't foresee weapon skins any time soon.

Awsome idea! Since the captain already can change the skin of the ship, why not let the gunner change the guns with his skins. Maybe the engineer change the looks of differend components, or some fancy flare during stamina use.

How about this-

To outside viewers of the ship, they appear as the captain has set them.

To crew, they appear as they have set them.

On War Thunder, you can give your planes some really nice skins but no one can see them apart from me, the pilot. Perhaps a similar implementation can be made, Only crew can see skins?

They've BEEN working on that for a LONG time. I'd rather get marginal updates for a few months and them release it before the year is done, rather than them working on silly stuff constantly and release Alliance in 2020.

Skins are easy, though.

Hell, they could use ones from Alliance

The art side of the dev team are busy with Alliance at the moment but it is something on their list of things to look at, they like the idea. :)
