I’m sorry, I just can’t wait for v50, but here are my suggestion… for UI.
- Weapons will be customizable per item owned, similar to laser scope and ghost trail.
- A customizable icon will be added on weapons to indicate such feature.
- You’ll need to equip a weapon in your current ship for you to be able to customize it.
- Impractical if you own too many weapons unless you have ships as many as such.
- In this preview, your ship fires your weapon on an automatic rate so you can see your customized weapon in action. If your weapon is currently at 0⚡, then it’ll be shown at 0⚡ of course. Don’t mind the price though, these are copy-pasted on an existing screenshot.
- The first button on the left shows all the current skins available for that particular weapon.
- The other two is the applicable customization options for that applied weapon skin (other might be opacity, brightness, pattern, etc.) This changes depending on the skin you applied beforehand.
All these assume that weapons can be recolored the same as ships and hardpoints, but I believe the game can.
And to be honest, I can see most of the customization suggestions above as a recolor, not a whole reskin. A reskin has to be in a new sprite, imo.
