Ie ship side streaks or flames, a spoiler, tinted windows, graffitti etc. If I see a HM essentially I might not have to see the ships owner name but just the ship itself might be enough unless someone copied it. Could be a mission thing.

How about a personalizable ship glow in the background ie red blue red etc pickable colored circle under the ship for those who choose it.

Or a personalizable star or heart or shamrock etc icon (similar yet distinguishable from emp run or mod stars but similar concept)

This could be cool imo.

Absolutely no benefit stat wise, just graphical choice per ship.

This is why there just was a competition with a reward like this!

Am betting could get volunteers for this sort of thing ez so wouldn't distract hardcore programmers.

I would love to see this as one of many possible rewards for things like completed Emperor runs, and helping to test content, etc.

Totally. I'm not talking whole unrecognizable skins either... Small things in general. Maybe you kill Kidd Hermes and all 4 oly ubers unlocks a possible graphical mod? If ship changes too much would be chaos. Small mods.

The circle idea also would be useful for those with 'I can't tell my ship from background issues. A transparent circle that you could see debris under and yet still get a preferrable view of your possibly dark ship on a dark background. Personalizable and also visually functional to those that want it.

I would like to eventually add some special items that can distinguish your ship like this to be sold for space points.

No one has space points !!

You barely ever give them out. :'(

I love that idea.

1 Space point for each time a NEW person uses the referral link when subbing for the FIRST time.

The problems that currently exist:

1. No easy way to figure out what the link is, outside ticket.
2. No easy way to find explanation on how the entire system works.

You can find your referral link here: https://www.starsonata.com/tradingbay/referral.php

There is a good explanation of the current system here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=30567

It should not be on the bottom of the news page. It should be in an Detailed Explanation Of The Game page.
