have an idea of a gold material for all ships if you buy such from the latnium vendor make more value to latnium after unlocked can make any/all ships gold with same expect shine and all
Make the golden ship models both sides have as your full ship. And make the texture marks not be colorable but look like indented marked on them like a mark on a gold bar

Thank god for that.
Why would I want an army forest or arctic camouflage print for my ship.
Space is black with a few stars so I would prefer something that is visually more difficult to see.
For real. I have no desire to see a bunch of gaudy monstrosities flying around.
yours...will be...for
Thank you for your time.
As long as all of us have to suffer the gaudy aesthetic sensibilities of other players, everyone has the right to have a say on whether or not new cosmetic options should be allowed.
When Cryptic give me the ability to set a toggle to ON which causes all other players to display as wearing Starfleet uniforms, and all ships to display in a coherent theme, you can plaster your ship and outfit with as many gaudy neon dayglo metallic gubbins as you like, until then, it's bad enough I have to see neon pink and lime green TOS Movie uniforms every time I visit ESD, I don't want to be assaulted with the same horrible TRIBBLE when I undock as well.

I never get why some people have such a problem with the concept of immersion. The same people can usually grasp the idea when viewed in the context of films or books as suspension of disbelief, they can understand that we're all capable of ignoring or explaining away incongruities to a certain extent because it allows us to enjoy the story, and that going past that point can affect that enjoyment, but for some reason the moment games come into the equation the exact same principle inspires vapid sarcasm, even hostility.

Agreed! Latinum is a silver liquid, which looks kinda like mercury. (as shown in DS9's episode Who Mourns for Morn)

would look somewhat like this:

i mean, come on if Star Wars can do it:

...
would look better than an Ambassador Class with Reman Set visuals. (srsly wth is wrong with the people still doing that? you don't know where the off button for visuals is?)
why is it when I read that the first thing that came to mind is 'is the owner persian and does the ship have blue shag carpeting?' like that south park episode
that is not a valid excuse to add anything to the game. people have a right not the see this kind of TRIBBLE in game
this
Because some of us actually do spend money on the game and WE want to see it. How is your excuse to not want to see it more valid than my own? It is not other than I and other PvP'ers like myself keep this game alive so you can QQ about shiny ships.
It's not the concept that eludes me personally here.
It's this sense of entitlement some people get about how their immersion is somehow more important than others' fun, to the point they feel they can dictate what is or isn't added to the game because it offends their impeccable aesthetic sense or mars their own personal vision of what Trek should look like.
I hope you get your toggle, but when it comes down to it, others' freedom trumps your immersion. Deal with it.

Ah yes, "freedom", the word that ends any argument :rolleyes:
Let's try this then; how is the reverse any less entitled? Afterall, you're saying that their fun(yours?) is more important than my fun, aren't you? And which is the more unreasonable request; wanting to play a game in which the aesthetic matches the source material, or wanting to ignore the source material to suit one's own whims despite the fact that it negatively affects others' enjoyment?
Tell me, if your fun was derived from playing balanced ship-to-ship PvP, and someone came to the forums and requested that the devs put the Death Star into the game, complete with one-hit-kill superlaser - should their "freedom" trump your fun then?
How about if someone wanted to play as a Mimbari from Babylon 5 - afterall, you'd only be breaking people's immersion by including races from a completely different franchise, so why shouldn't they be allowed?
Everyone draws the line somewhere, so tell me where you would draw it, and then explain to me why you wouldn't be "entitled" for doing so.

Who has the sense of entitlement? To flip it round some peoples idea of fun is somehow more important than others, and immersion is part of the fun for some. there is always going to be head butting in this area with both sides accusing the other of entitlement issues.
The last time I RP'd it included pen, paper and multiple dice so very long ago. I do not RP in games as I really do not want to do it, however I try to make things fit and not be jarring to the whole "fit" of a game in my eyes. For example my uniforms are a mix of black, white, station colour and "gold" where my VAs are concerned whereas I have seen some crazy combinations and some that make a lady of the night look over dressed. Now if these combinations weren't allowed from the beginning then people most probably wouldn't have cared about not having them, it is now too late for this to be changed.
Our "freedoms" in this game, or any, are set by those who make it.
Hey , I made a post about the Borg having PREMIUM advert spaces on their cubes , only to have that post shut down .
Dosen't everybody want to fly by a cube that's flashing VIVA LAS VEGAS !!! on it's hull ?
I mean we need something to top "Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun, come right now, don't walk - run!" .
I am playing the game, you are trying to make it something it is not.
Perhaps "freedom" was a poor word to use. I think decronia hit the nail on the head here:
As such, if the devs wanted to give us Death Stars and Mimbari? Sucks to be us, I guess, but the moment they're put in the game, we kind of lose the right to cry that they shouldn't be here. Best we can do then is ask for better textures and some game balance, because the question of whether or not people can use them is already answered. I suppose with enough backlash those things could be removed, but it would take a firestorm of biblical proportions to get Cryptic to pull something they obviously would have had to fight for the rights to use in-game.
So, for where the line is drawn? It's drawn nice and thick at "wherever Cryptic wants it," and right now that line includes awful color schemes and bad kitbashes.
At the end of the day, you have to play the game for you, and let others do as they will with the understanding that they have as much right to have fun as you do. Griefing is the obvious exception, but bad fashion sense is hardly equatable to griefing...
