Thread: More into crafting instruments
I think it would be awesome to be able to customize the color of your instrument. This can be a little add-on but it's still will do some good for people who like to match and roleplay better. Maybe some more instruments along the way but atleast let us have a little fun now. 
Yes, yes, yes!!!!!! I would love to see some experimentation points that we could use to up the quality of the instruments as well. I hope others respond to this so it gets some visibility towards becoming a top musician request. Wouldn't it be nice if we could gain experimentation points aswe make more instruments and gain levels? (Would like to run a music shop one day 
)

I was really looking forward to being an on-the-side instrumenteer, but the fact that every instrument is identical pretty much killed that.
What I'd like to see:
* Color customization. If nothing else, the Ommni really needs an image upgrade.
* Effectiveness actually do something: increased heal rate, increased xp, reduced action cost, etc.
* Usage decay. This was apparently a big to-do with the tailors. They were recently told that the lack of clothing decay was intentional (not a bug as originally thought), and lost all hope of repeat business. Heck, architects never even had that hope except with personal harvesters. But with our biggest resourceitem being the Nal at 150 ferrous and (IIRC) 15 aluminum, and instruments being actively used the same as weapons as opposed to passively worn clothing, I don't think instrument decay is unreasonable. And then the devs could add a schematic for an "Instrument Repair tool", probably at Novice Musician.
And with a few people wanting Nalargons as house furniture, being able to change the color would help on that side business.
Yes : To customisable colours.
Yes : To experimentable stats for healing effectiveness and efficiency of use.
Yes : Tousage based decay like weapons(Note: Not time based decay).
