Hey guys, I had a cool idea for FTL but couldn't find any mods that did it. Wondering if anyone knew of any. Basically, you know how you can encounter a federation scout for example as a pirate, with the federation or as a civilian and the ship changes the streaks across the ship and several other markings? Well i though it would be cool if on a each ship you had achievements like 'Kill 50 pirates with this ship' or 'aid 20 civilians with this ship' to then unlock the marking to use in the hangar on this ship. They could be for pure aesthetics or could trigger blue text options. e.g.
A civilian ship is being chased by a Pirate!
1. Aid the ship
2. Avoid the conflict
3. (Pirate Markings) Scare the Pirate with your markings
Anyway, if you have seen anything that does this or could work on it I would be astronomically grateful.... or if any devs are reading.... you could always.... you know...
The only way this would work is as an augment when it comes to modding, and it wouldn't be able to change your ship graphic. I believe whale cancer is doing something similar with his foundation of the federation mod in order to create factions.
My take on the story is that Rebels and Feds are in a war with one another and soldiers or both sides are loyal to their oath. Sure the Rebels are oppresive bad guys, but they still have some semblance of a moral code. Pirates are independent, loyal to their ship only and hostile to the Feds, Rebels and other pirates as well. They are sometimes well armed but usually prefer to hide and prey on the weak.
Having pirate markings would mean that all other ships would be hostile towards you. Stealing a Rebel cruiser and painting it with Fed markings places it on the side of the Federation.
