Race Logo as Badge on Ships?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Could race logos somehow be used as badges on ships? This could perhaps be implemented as jewelry.

Nice idea and one i was thinking about the other day (great minds ). Shouldnt be too difficult to do either, just code in a piece of jewelry that calls for its image from the logo... in theory

I am vote for it, as well as "uploading" player logo in new game creation screen.

That sounds like a great idea, maybe a mod, and include that in the patches as an add on for the jewelery.

I thought of it after going to the trouble of adding transparencies to the symbols from FreeSpace: after all that work I want the bloody thing used more! I hope it's do-able, but not mandatory, as for many groups it doesn't make a lot of sense.

I think that you would have to make the logos part of the texture used by the decal component, but it seems doable. I'll talk to the artists about it.

Clearly a w00t is in order. It all depends how the textures are applied though - I'd always wondered if they could use the dynamic 'damaged planet' process for a dynamic 'damaged starship' texture too.

They did it in homeworld2, might look into how they did it. Seemed to be done simply.
