Livery ideas

If not for things getting out of hand, possibly way out of hand, decal creation - a 32x32, 64x64, or say a 128x128 pixel grid along with an assortment of pre-supplied 16-color palettes would be interesting. Perhaps the creatives at Frontier could wip up an "upscaling" sort of computer magic, allowing player-created pixel art designs to be automatically enlarged to the texture resolutions, by some means, in some way. Obviously I have no actual working technical knowledge or experience regarding this idea. Theoretically, players could create their own insignia, patterns, designs, or fly war arrows on both wings into battle. But, but, but.. Yeah, it would get out of hand.
 
Yup, someone would be flying around in a black anaconda, with a huge iridescent wang drawn on the top of it.

Possibly me.

I'm more likely to have a Hat stenciled on my Corvette, gladly riding atop a pair of glorious cheeks. It's the only thing that tells you who I am. That, and the big stencils of the first part of my name written on the sides of the ship. Job done!

I'd still fly the conda though at times.
 
I wish ED used the customisation system APB has. It's actually just prefabs and basic shape manipulation but the end results can be amazing. Plus, it's stored as simple data points (position, size, orientation, colour) so it is fast to transmit personal designs over the network (which might be a touch slow in APB sometimes but that's because it supports up to 100 players per instance).

This is an old thread with some customised vehicles showcased:


It's actually probably not even the best example, just a quick Google search.

One of the posts shows the editor in use.

I loved creating my own designs using the editor. It's simple to learn but the depth of skill it allows to create mind blowing custom paint jobs is unlimited.

If ED had this...

The only downsides to the system are the few who abuse it (creating abusive or politically incorrect visuals) and, to a degree, that needs to be policed. But I guess we already have that with naming ships or fleet carriers.

Dope! Yeah I had a buddy that would design cars for people on Forza. They were sick.
