Cosmetics

Alternate models/skins for ships, aliens, etc

from StarControl Forums

I don't recall seeing it discussed previously. Will the new Star Control do cosmetics? I.e. alternate models/skins/etc for ships (and even aliens)?

I'm not talking about modding, since that can obviously do what it wants - I'm talking about main-game hats for my spaceship that other people will see when I multiplayer.

On the one hand I think it's unnecessary; but on the other hand its imminently cool if I have a "Deep-Space Desolator" skin for my Ughlug ship that gives it a sinister look and makes the (normally) yellow laser be purple instead.

You know... this kind of thing

Always nice to have skins. I just hope it doesn't go "DOA vollyeball".... or any other number of games were you pay absurd amounts for cosmetic skins.... you would think they were performing high risk plastic surgery on those pixels....

I was more thinking the Valve implementation (i.e. you can randomly get lucky and receive a new skin/set - but can also buy/trade them).

I think it was mentioned that skinning was a feature? Did I misinterpret that?

Well, even if they wont put in the main game (or in dlcs) this is what the mod implementation will be for!
