sorry forgive me, but how would it work? I can see the models going on no problem... but what about textures?
I mean, we have all played need for speed... now imagine your Starflea, with a spoiler... k... but what decides the texture for that spoiler? I am seeing a rather large pitfall coming.
BWT ship with a Corsair set of horns... oh dear.
Liberty Gunboat with a storm's engines... ack.
This would be neat, but implementation would be a nightmare.
After all this ideas about changing those ship parts,why not to change ship hull color?(imagine pink Liberty Carrier):D-not gonna happen!(btw,i'm writing from my cellphone:))
imagine canabalising a defender and a patriot then sticking it on a camara frieghter fully loaded with strobe lights. one word. gourdy. but i wouldnt mind.
As I recall one of the main issues with this is that cargopods have independent hitpoints from the hull. You could shoot off all the body work and still have a ship with zero damage to it.

most of them just moor, actually. those that actually use docking rings to land on the surface are not using their engines at all in the process, because the docking ring works as an elevator. this reduces fuel consumprion to a minimum, which means your argument is invalid:P

Have you ever watched the landing cut scenes? Or in Vanilla when the research base on that planet is under attack. Those Rheinland bombers were bombing from probably 1,000 - 5,000 feet high.

*Shrug*
i did, but those are just for the effect. plus in vanilla, most ships were actually aerodynamic.
