So, im making sprites for vanilla ships, i intend to replace factions standard ships with a sort of faction paintjob.

I started on the hegemony, i do the standard version of all the xiv ships.

the current ones:




-what do u think about the color scheme?
-i will make 2 capitals next, should i make a few more?

But how to best implement it?
i can force the faction to only use these instead of the base versions(along whit xiv ofc), or at least make them super common
the problem is the blueprints, if i add them as rares its hard to get them and they wont pollute ppls ship pool, however if some1 want these for role-playing, they need a way to get them

script in a quest(when i learn how)? or just make a bp package anyways? get them free along with the commission?

edit: made legion

I don't know the actual mechanics of how this could actually be implemented, but as far as making these ships available to the player, perhaps you could make it so that hegemony quartermasters at stations could sell them to commissioned players. As far as I know, the quartermasters don't really do anything at all at the moment so this would give them some much-needed functionality.

I think this is a cool idea btw. It would be great to actually have the hegemony fly its own colors outside of the occasional XIV.

You should try asking around Unofficial Discord for that, they're more active baking mods there.

Somebody already making a paint job mod using hull mods method, it is possible to do this for everysingle faction. It will be better if you can only acquire these paint job if you have their commission and get some small bonus like commisioned crew but for paintjob.

now that...

i have to test out the mod, and see how it works first

make it so that hegemony quartermasters at stations could sell them to commissioned players

also good

i think i try quartermasters first, and try upgrading to the paint job mod later
