I feel like the answer is probably no, given that in liveries there is only one option for Scarab livery, and I also suspect if I had a Scarab and a Scorpion then that wouldn't be an issue... ED does occasionally make things not that obvious though so I'm curious is there a way? And if not is it not something people think should be possible. I wanna race with my mate in different coloured vehicles.
If I have two vehicle hangers with scarabs, is it possible to have a different livery on each?
I've not tried this, but as the vehicles are tracked separately for almost everything else it might be worth a try:
- set the Scarab livery
- store one of your hangars
- set the Scarab livery again
- re-fit the stored hangar to your ship
- exit outfitting without touching the livery settings again
- set the Scarab livery
- store one of your hangars
- set the Scarab livery again
- re-fit the stored hangar to your ship
- exit outfitting without touching the livery settings again
Yes, you can have different livery on each scarab if you have multiple vehicle hangars.
Pretty sure cosmetics are actually attached to the ship. Anytime I swap a hangar I've had to reapply SRV/SLF cosmetics. Which is a pain in the butt.
Can confirm this. You can set the livery for every single SRV or SLF you have in your ship, but the moment you store the hangar the livery of the contained vehicles is reset to the default.
I have a ship with 2 hangers, 4 scorpions in total. 3 are black, 1 is red to remind me it's the last one.
Now, if I could only remember why I have 4 scorpions or a need to remind myself of the last one to begin with ... but yes, livery is per vehicle unless the hanger is removed from the ship.

It must have been a good idea at the time. Were you heavily involved in ground combat and the attrition rate was high?
If I am doing ground CZs I like to have two or more Scarabs available if I am likely to be sitting at the settlement for several days until the war is over.

I've got a vague recollection it was for ax reactivation mission stacking, or it may have been when I was scavenging abandoned bases and scavs kept destroying my srv's which I was using to hold more mats than I could carry ... something like that? It's not something I use/need now, but was very early days for me on foot then.
turns out the answer was simple... I was certain I'd already fitted the srv bay into the hangar but I hadn't. As soon as I did that then two srv livery options appeared.
