when we click our MS in armory we should see a picture with it .

I think this will make the game more fun

every race should have a different model of a MS

i think we can get pictures with Motherships from SG-1 and Atlantis

as long as it just 4 pics, i dont care. But you do that and it will be we need more variety next, then personalized MS pics, that leads to server lag, and another person to police it as some people just can't act right and post proper content.

I dont think the cons outway the pros.

There is only 1 "Game Admin" who makes tho type decision. He does not frequent here. Catch him at an admin meet to pass them along. Due to certain issues I wouldn't expect it to make it into the game but by all means go ahead and try.

Another thing - Admin would probably be concerned with copyright issues on those pics. I suspect that even using GPL pics on a game server that actually earns an income would be license violation.

Probably not. Read these:

Just what I was thinking.

If you feel like making your own designs, then that's fine, but not using MGM stuff.

Personally I don't think having a picture of a MS on your MS page would make the game more fun. It's just a picture. :?

Please don't implement. It takes ages for us dial-up users to load the game as it is with all of the silly attack icons!
