Pilot Archive

I've mentioned this a couple of times before, but I figured it couldn't hurt to give it it's own thread.

As you all know,different engines, boosters and weapons have different models that are used on ships, exception being the Imperial vessels of course.Anyway, I just had this thought and although it's a small thing, I think it would be a nice way to allow a little more customization of ships without changing how the modification system inherently works.

Simply put, when you add an engine, booster or weapon to your ship you would be able to choose from the different models, rather than the equipmentusing apre-assigned model. I know there are a some players thatwould prefer their shipuse(or not use)the "Enterprise" style engines on Y-wings, or the engine for YT-1300's that looks likeit came off of the Ebon Hawk, or the standard ARC-170 cannons, rather than the futuristic looking Ion Cannons.Personally, I'd like tochoose the color of the boltsand effects used byweapons, there are a few flash effects that hurt my eyes if they'redirectly in front of the cockpit(don't laugh, it's true). Just seems to me that this would not take a lot of extra work considering the models and effects are already in the game, we would just need a menu to select which one we want on our ship.

Any thoughts?
