During Around the Verse episode 8, we were shown several different potential color schemes for the exterior of the M50. How much control will we have over the look of our ships once the PU launches? Will it be a selection of colors like this or will we be able to more fully change the colors of ships (like custom car painting)? What impact will the skins available for pledging now have, and will they work on all ships equally?asked by William George

Hmmm, this question sounds very much like the question from HeadlessChook. But, so, the M50 is going to be right now in the one scheme. Long-term, as I said, we were working on a customization setup so players can determine... you know, can set up specific colors for their ship, put names on their ships, and stuff like that. So we're still in the tech R&D phase for that. We'd like to make it fairly flexible so you can do some more sort of custom stuff, but in the very least you should be able to change out the primary or secondary color. And when that becomes online we'll definitely allow the player to, for something like the M50, you'll be able to buy it in a few different liveries. And then again, the skins that are available for pledging now, essentially how flexible the tech is will dictate how many ships those skins will be available on. If the tech isn't so flexible then it'll be on a lesser amount of them... if it's pretty flexible then we'd make it available to pretty much most of them - that make sense anyway! I mean I doubt the paint job that goes on a small fighter would be applicable for a paint job, say on a Bengal carrier or something.
