As awesome as the reaver and mosquito are, I would really enjoy flying a ship that has a deifferent shaped chassis. Performance wise it could be the same as it's "class" of ship, it would simply look different. A cojple shapes that I like from SWG are,
Dunelizard
Z-95
Visually, what I like about the Dunelizard is the nose and cockpit area, which reminds me of the Spitfire from WWII. I do really likr the rest of the sip's design as well and it was my favorite ship in SWG.
The design of the Z-95, as apposed to an X-Wing is the overall shape of the slender nose leading to the wing as well as the engine placement. I could see a ship in PS2 that uses the same shapes, but has a swept back wing with armament slung beneath the wing and fusalage.
In terms of adding such visual customization, I would be happy to pay $20 for the ship and $2.50 for different engines, weapons, and wing shapes, etc. So, "appearance" items for PS2.
Possible or will we be playing the same looking ships for years on zzzzzzzz........ Whuh? What was I doing?
