Dual Form Customization idea

[ImmortalXX0XX]

Greetings, recruits

Today I am introducing to you a brand new idea for the game that is related to customizing the ship: Dual Form
The idea is simple, your ship will change to another form into whatever the 2nd customized form appears

You can apply for a Dual Form option for 0 keys (if you didn’t customize the second form), and 20 Keys if you want to customize the second form with the fading options Let’s pretend the ship in the image is the first form

Now when I click on the Dual Form to customize my second form, and I customized it, here is the result:

That’s right, the same Interface but for the second form, now the prices for each option is the same as when you customize the ship in the first place, but when we go to the “Fade Options”, we can find options about fade effects and stuff here

Here are the options we could find here:

Fade-In Color and Fade-Out Color options: While the ship is being transformed into the other form, the fade color will be whatever you picked

Fade Interval option: You can adjust when the Transformation effect to trigger the other form in a time interval (from 3 seconds to 1 minute)

Fade Opacity option: Changes the opacity of the color of the Fading

Fade Duration option: Chnages the duration of the fading effect to x secs (from 0.2s to 3 second)

Toggle the other form when maxed: If you use a BX ship or a Muller ship and you hit the maximum power, the spacecraft will turn to its second form (if you’re using an H&C or a VF ship, then the spacecraft will turn to its second form at 30 power)

Toggle the other form if you died: Changes the form of the spacecraft if you died while in-game

Change forms manually option: Lets you change the form of the ship manually with a keybind (if you’re on PC) or with a button on mobile devices, you can adjust it in the controls options

That’s it for the idea, This idea might be either a hard point or a feature in customizing the ship, I hope it gets added to v159, this idea will change the customization in the game by a lot, opening more opportunities for more unique designs, @InterAction_studios I hope you like the idea, this is a very creative yet unique idea

See you later, recruits.

@ImmortalXX0XX

your ship will change to another form into whatever the 2nd customized form appears

And when it will change? Is it random per mission? Is it after losing a life, the other design appears?

@ImmortalXX0XX

Fade Options

Not sure if it’s that useful, as I already don’t understand it, the shields already exist and now I have a question:

Will there be support for hardpoints?

[ImmortalXX0XX]

The ship will change its form in a time interval you can adjust, or just change it manually via a keybind in your keyboard (if you’re on PC) or on the screen if you’re on mobile, and the fade options you can adjust the opacity to 0 it you don’t want any fade effects, just change the form without fades, I hope you understand my concept

[AceInTheCards]

I think I get it, but it might be too confusing. In simpler terms this is basically your ship can switch colors or just completely different styles, yeah?
I don’t really find this useful and either ways this will have a hardpoint for it, to be used if I had to guess

[ImmortalXX0XX]

It is a customization feature that makes your ship switch to another paint job, I don’t think it will be a hard point, since this option can customize the ship in its second form with the same price tags that are found in designing your ship in the first place, This feature might be useful for people who want their ship to switch designs while in the battlefield

[AceInTheCards]

Yeah I get that, but there can’t there be like certain toggles for it?
Like when u die u switch ships, or when you pick up a gift you also switch ships? I doesn’t have to work only on time y know, and plus you could make a nice design with two contrasting ship designs that match. So maybe I would invest in this, then again it does make sense for it not to be a hardpoint, but it should be like the theme switcher things where you can switch to a preset of colors you choose (could also be combined with that just realized)

[Taubsi]

What if the ship changes to its second appearance upon reaching max power?

[ImmortalXX0XX]

sorry if the illustrations for the ship designs in the images weren’t convenient enough, Pretend this the ship in its original form is colored green for example, and the second form for it is yellow colored, you can switch manually with a keybind or let it switch automatically with a time interval, I could have added more toggles like: Switch forms when reaching max power, Switch forms when you die

And maybe your idea here about “Theme switcher” is more understandable, you can switch to a preset of colors and paint job settings you did to your ship in its second form, but my idea here is your second form acts like it is another design of the ship with the same price tags for the ship when you design it

also I am at school rn so I will edit the images when I come back I promise

[AceInTheCards]

yeah I understand that, like VERY clear and real with you I do
I still feel like it should require a hardpoint though, only because we can potentially have multiple presets with a buyable item in the shop

[ImmortalXX0XX]

yeah, but honestly, I am still waiting for IA to see this concept if it will either be a hard point or a feature in the customization thing in the ship
