Wahzzy Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Just a quick little thought, but I was driving home from school and thought of this, why not be able to put a logo on your ship? Maybe you want a shark face on your space plane, or maybe a company logo on your rocket. I was recently watching a series on You-Tube by a man named Macey Dean (Link--> http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVNZXXTp6dt81aXAoU5Uj3g ) Macey does a You-Tube RP type, where there is combat with rival companies, and such, but you could not tell the ships apart, or logo the different factions. So... thats my idea :3 Maybe a bunch of preset patterns that we can arrange to make a decal, that you can sticker to the side of a rocket or pod. Or just that you could upload a image. I wouldn't see it being that hard to implement, as there is already the ability to place items and customize your ship. Give me some feed back on this. Hopefully some of you like this idea.Im new here as well.. and this guy looks cool. -> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoagster35 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I agree that would be very cool, and possibly make an individual flag for every mission and then when you go to the tracking station the flag will be there. This is a good idea... I like it, ANOTHER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeman Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 They've actually had decals planned for some time now. There even used to be a decals tab in the construction menu. They'll probably work like flags where decals are images of a certain size and you place them on the surface of your vehicles.It'd be nice if we could make them bigger or smaller and/or use transparent bits and all that, but I guess we'll have to wait and see what they work out for us.This has, however, been suggested loads of times...and discussed a lot, too. It's a good suggestion, even though it's a bit redundant.It's even been suggested that we be able to recolor our parts and I personally would love, LOVE to see that type of feature someday. Ideally, it would work like the Dawn of War army painter, where you have a base color, a secondary color and one or two trim options as well. You'd select the color for each using a color wheel with a brightness slider and maybe even a transparency or saturation slider as well. Maybe even include a handful(or more) of patterns. Like, this one's diagonal stripes, this one's polka-dots, this one's got no special pattern, it's just solid colors and so on.If they wanted to go all-out and really make the people happy, they'd develop something akin to what you can do in APB: Reloaded. Talk about amazing customization through simply changing colors or using basic shapes and simple images to create your own decals and place them wherever you'd like on your vehicle.I'd even like to(and I know other people would too as I've seen it suggested before) be able to change the color scheme of the kerbonauts' suits. Maybe I want Jeb to have a black suit with red trim 'cause he's the badass of the party whereas Bill would be dressed in blue 'cause he's more calm and collected. Meanwhile, Bob is turqwaz and urrnge 'cause he be craaaaaaazy!Of course, I doubt any of that will get implemented...ever. Would be really nice, though. Especially for RP series or even just streaming, blogging, vlogging and simply showing off screenshots or videos to friends. In the end, though, we'll probably just have a basic decal feature that functions essentially like the flags, except we can place them onto the surface of our vehicles....which isn't all that bad, honestly.

Tex_NL Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 And as usual it's a new user making a suggestion that has been made countless times before. I have to agree with Beeman. In the mean time you could use Flag Decals and Flagpole, it is pretty much what you're suggesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeRandomeGuy Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Talk To Frizzank, the guy with the Gemini Pack. He has created a flag part that you can stick to your ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorThomas Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I badly want decals / recoloring / other customization for my ships. Would make me love KSP that much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 There's a mod for coloring parts, too. I've seen numer of screenshots with ships made of stock parts in all sorts of color. I just don't know which mod is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
