One of the aspects of this game, there is no customization beyond ship/planet names. I know in other games you have various skins for characters/weapons/etc. Perhaps could create different designs for the ships or planets that players could purchase or use credits on. Figure it is a way to bring in some money/make it a little more customizable.

i like it

I'm not opposed to this if they are only visible to the player who purchased them; however, that could also be achieved with a simple user stylesheet in tampermonkey or the like currently.

I don't especially want to spend the time to build a skin marketplace when I already have so many other things on my plate.

I feel it is important that skins not change the ability of players to quickly scan the space page for information and threats - thus, skins would need to be somewhat more like SC2 skins than a purely open market.

I am strongly in favor of doing a general graphics refresh of the game, however. If any players can come up with a new set of ship designs the community loves, it would be easy for me to swap those out. I feel it is important to have a working IFF, but that could be handled by cell border color or something if color bands on the ships aren't feasible.

Speaking of IFF, would it be possible to have SPC, player/alien, and allied player's be separate colors instead of all being red?

Yes - especially the allies bit. It's pending fixing the code so that I can get the queries all into one location, and don't have to chase references around a dozen different files, but it's high on my priority list .
