The idea is that there would be rare shops for weapons and vehicles to buy aesthetic modifications. (colors, decals, modules, all present in the procedural generation pool) And you'd be able to buy aesthetic mods to your weapons and vehicles. The rarer the aesthetic would be to generate normally the higher the mod cost to your item. The shops could have rarity limits as to what they could sell you or just a random stock. I think it'd be an awesome way to get your own collection started.
Yeah, sounds pretty cool, maybe even make it some kiosk type thing, like a traveling sales-man, who comes to your planet every once in awhile.
Yep, hit it right on the nail, It'd be a way more valuable encounter if you did'nt know where he/she/it would show up next. Sort of like a SuperJackpot!
They said you will be able to change the color and stuff of your weapons, not how though. Would be cool if you could do it by something like this where you buy it, and also be able to go out and collect materials to do it yourself.
Ah, yes. I do recall them saying that. Collecting materials for the aesthetics might be a little odd, It'd be weird to tier resources consumed in crafting additions and using pixels would be easier in my opinion. Though i could see weapon mods, that effect stats, consuming resources and being craftable.
This sounds quite awesome; could the vendor be some type of mole-man, who pops out of the ground, along with his little tent/kiosk? I just like the idea of him popping out of nowhere...
I like the idea of a vendor popping out of nowhere like that and setting up his tent and whatnot so kudos to the idea.
I like the idea of buying aesthetic changes to things. Maybe instead of green lasers I want blue also would be cool like if you changed the color of equipment that glowed.. the glow would change as well. For instance the molten armor from back in the day Terraria I always thought would look much better in blue (HINT: I like blue)
Oo that'd be pretty neat! I'd buy all my weapons, suits and vehicles an awesome yellow neon! I'd also think it'd be cool to buy tracer mods for your weapons; your bullets/slashes would leave a (non damaging) trail of lightning, laser beam, fire, etc. Edit: Here's some space-molemen sprites!
