Is it still planned to allow players to paint their ships?
John Crewe · Vehicle Director

Yes, it's still planned. The extent of it, we're still sort of going backwards and forwards on. We actually had some discussions this week on it. Obviously with the Origin customizer, we provided preset colors for that. That is definitely something we're going to do. How far we let users customize the colors beyond that is still to be determined. But what we do want to definitely do is let users pick emblems or decals to go on their ships, naming their ships. Obviously, they'll have the serial numbers put on there. And the emblems themselves will be from a pre-selected pool of things. So I'm trying to think of a good example. The Vanguard on its upper wings has like a 42 decal on it, and it's 42 on the tail fins as well. That would be a generic decal slot. So when you go to a paint shop in game, you'll go, I want to change that from the default, I want it to be a big smiley face or a star or something, and then apply it to all of those things.

For those of you who remember very early conversations about the potential for uploading emblems or decals, this is not to say that that's not a possibility. It's just that's not in the design that we're looking at right now. You start with what we can do, with what's internal, with what we can provide you first, and then we examine those possibilities afterwards.

Having a nice preselected pool stops what we all know people will do. Solves some problems.
