Maybe you could opt to default to the 'damaged' image as some sort of an ambush tactic. I always thought it was silly for a gargantuan ship to ever really be in pristine shape.

This is a simple idea. Wouldn't it be cool if ships that you attacked progressively looked more blown up the more you damaged it? Every 25% or so, the ship in question could get burn marks, flaming holes, blown off chunks, and leaking plasma drive trails. Once disabled, a giant plume of wreckage could be seen. After all wouldn't it be much more satisfying, if that annoying Vortul Crimson Annihilator looks more destroyed while you are pummeling it into oblivion? Who likes this idea? |

This would be a fun little idea. Yes it would be strangely satisfying to watch some of those annoying NPCs looked ripped up. |

Good to see there is some backing...it would also be fun to watch the annoying noob who thinks he's macho getting his ship blown apart. |

I think it would be cool, but I'd rather see real game changes first. Also, I don't think they should apply this for PvP, because you're not supposed to know how damaged they are. |

I agree I would rather see actual play involving things done first but this would be a fun side bit. I also agree it should only be for NPCs |

There's a FB game that uses this feature, which people like quite a lot. This update would be easy to do as well, with some graphics work. |

Yeah that would be interesting...set damaged as default so other people think your ship is badly damaged. Although I agree that it makes little sense that all of the ships always look perfect. It's weird seeing some NPC have the big label that blares DISABLED on it, and yet it looks just as in one piece as when you found it. |

When i first read this I was thinking it was npc. Other players well it gives away if you are hurt when someone comes up to you in the battle tab not so sure anyone would want that. Tho if you can damage them that would be cool just don't like the idea of getting attacked just cause I have some hull missing and they can tell. |

| Post subject: | Re: Damaged ship skins |
they could only apply the damage skins AFTER the initial attack in PvP. so even if you only have 50 hull left you appear as 100% but when the guy attacks you thats when they find out your true hull amount. Besides, im finding it a bit odd that im within line of sight of the enemy ship and i cant tell how much health they have left... |

I think the idea of seeing an NPC's hull being blown to bits would be awesome. However, I believe that should not be transferred to PvP, for the reasons mentioned above. An enemy base should also change it's skin as well. Futhermore, the idea of being able to have a ship design which looks more worn would be awesome. Maybe also choosing colors on the ship + legion design (on player's consent) |

 Although maybe dan could add some smoke and fire and stuff that shows as ships get damaged and can be switched on and off as part of the Animation on/off button already there |

Love this idea but as many others said for NPC's only. Also think that Dan should come out with more content first.

I think for pvp should just be a alive or dead skin npcs can go in stages. |
