Personalizing Our Rides
« on: January 30, 2009, 10:50:59 AM »
This wish will not increase the game performance in anyway.  I just thought it would be kinda' cool.
How's about for any vehicle or plane that we are in, we have a little tag with our call sign on it, mounted somewhere on the dash panel.

(don't know if I spelled personalizing correct.  Spell check did not display the subject.)

I'd rather see HTC working on something more productive.

In order to see it, everyone would have to have the same art otherwise you'd be the only one to see the personal art.  This means that there would have to be additional storage space needed to store all of this personal art work in addition to all of the skins that are currently in game.

It'd be cool to have a small spot by the cockpit that works like squad nose arts do.  Just a spot where your game name appears like you're the pilot.  Sure, no one is going to be able to read it as you fly by a 300 mph, but it would be an easy add and some neat immersion.

You can form your own squad and get your noseart that way.

I'm pretty sure it won't be as easy as you think to program something like that in the game.  The only real viable way would to include it in the original skin art but then you'd have to make one for every player that is currently playing and then any new player down the line.  Expensive and not really feasible.

Yeah, HTC should add a seperate section to the 'Hangar' where we can work on our rides, man.

I'd dump my 262 on its nuts, bang some wicked chrome 22"s on it, ditch the aerial and paint some mad flames on the side, dude.

It would look sick.
