    Does anyone think that there are going to be alternate skins for ships? And if you do what do you think they could be? I'm really hoping for there to be a vehicle with flames going up and down the sides.

    Yes, there will be skins. Actually that is the main way the game will be monetized. However, when you choose a 'skin', its not just a cosmetic change to the base ship, but a loadout/system change. Not that it makes the ship more powerful, but that it changes the way it is played. Hardpoints/loadouts must follow the ruleset. Eg. below is an example of a 'base' Gorshkov Frigate and a Type II skinned Gorshkov Frigate.

    So the idea is that even every skin has its own unique loadout and playstyle, along with lore and history.

    I usually play default in games so I'm pretty sure that I'll be the Sol.

    Since I posted the Bengbu Corvette on the Sol ships page, and the Agile Flyer Corvette on the Genari ships page, here's skins for Bengbu & Agile Flyer:

    WHO is NOVA Commander Roshagh? It even sounds Klingon.

    Nova Commander Roshagh is part of the Genari lore -- a rather successful albeit insane Admiral type that had radical ideas on how to take on the Sol Imperial Worlds.

    Some new skins: These are pirate versions -- AI controlled ships that come out of the Helix Nebula, and harass the neighboring regions. Mostly for AI single player missions.
