I know that you can mod weapon effects, but can you change ship textures (not models, hitboxes, etc) client-side? I know that it's possible, but will you be banned for it? Replacing the ass-poor textures would be a great step in making the game look less dated.

I'm using the planets, nebulas, and ship textures from that HD texture pack that's floating around and dont have any problems. Dont use anything else though, discovery will get funky if you use the base textures and animations from the HD pack.
No, not really you can't, because to do so 99.9% of the time requires the ship to be remapped, meaning new CMP, meaning ban. Because apparently it's a better idea to ban a bunch of innocent people for doing nothing wrong instead of a select few who choose to modify their hardpoints.
if you have skills and stuff to reskin poor qualitied ships - join devs and remodel those ships that they dont want to. like Corsair dread or Praetorian. if you just asking about re-texture client-side - it -may- be possible. Im using many different effects but Im not ''cheating''. if you will be able to upgrade textures only and not changing any stats or hardpoints - this may work. and may not too.

I've used a custom ship texture for months and the anti cheat hasn't kicked me for it yet. So it would appear that you can change MAT files with no problems.
