Game Request for Rebellion

Varying ship models?

from Sins Forums

Mkay, I noticed that as the game expansions for Sins have progressed, the strike craft have amusingly changed, sometimes for better or for worst. It would be totally sick if you could right click upon the build option for your preferred strike craft and call up a small menu that would allow you to select the various model designs for strike craft that have appeared throughout Sins of a Solar Empire. Or maybe randomize the model so that squads are composed of varying fighters and bombers. I imagine it's a lot of programming for just a small aesthetic, but it would be cool. And if it worked out, you could do the same thing with the frigates and cruisers so that fleets varied that much more.

Um, really there have only been at most two design changes, from beta to orginal sins and then a couple of changes before Entrenchment was released to certain strikecraft like the Advent fighter, TEC bomber etc. That's really not much of a change, and if you are only playing single player its pretty easy to make a mod that will change them back. I'd much rather the devs spend time on actual content.

Agreed.

 

Neat idea though.

"The expansion will also add jumbo sized battlecraft called Titans. These monsters will be even bigger than capital ships and will be able to take on enemy fleets single-handedly. They’ll get to dissolve incoming pirate raids with new giant laser beams, prettified by a new lighting engine. See Titans and their pet lasers in action in these new screenshots."


Actual content. Right. Like "Pet Lasers?" Maybe I'm just a total idiot but this game seems to focus pretty heavily on aesthetics. I'm not talking about a total game revamp, just maybe a random dice roll that will switch up the ship model every few builds or so.
