Hi everyone. With us handing out a bunch of ship "cosmetics" over the past few months, and now ramping that up with the anniversary, it's time to make a comprehensive post about what's out there.

I will be adding to this thread when time allows, with the ultimate goal of turning it into a one-stop-shop for any of your custom ship cosmetic needs.

If you would like to contribute to this endeavor, play around with DSAM or other character editing tools, and send me labeled screenshots of your results.

Contrails

Cloak and "jump-in" effects are also available, but due to the way they function it's hard to get a good screenshot, so I'll save these for later. If you are interested in these, please try to recall which ship type or class uses the effect. The effect is applied on jumps and undocks if it's attached to the ship. Cloaks use their own effects, which are applied when cloaking and decloaking, as well as on jump and undock. We cannot change a cloak's effect without a patch, but we do have the Osiris cloak effect available.

Misc Effects

Engines are a tricky piece of cosmetic. Their main restriction is that they must exactly match the stats of the replacement engine, or there's a chance the game will break (e.g. you will impulse at 20ms, or cruise at 999ms, etc.). This means that only engines from the same class are mountable on that class, and sometimes not even then, as in the case of light and heavy BSes. Additionally, engines change according to the ship they are on, and some will look bad on certain ships - but at least the color will be the same, so I won't bother testing all combinations.
