    Okay, I was looking at @eroticburrito 's post involving TA's relation to PA, (link) when he mentioned Faction logos. Obviously, since there is only one faction (technically lel) it would not be essential and might even be a waste...

    But damn, it would look cool. Players selecting a "faction" to fight for would be awesome- In the lobby they could select it and the logo would appear on specific parts of every building (I know people like @igncom1 would appreciate this, due to his intense devotion to the synchronous faction, and their silly Aeson.)


    BenGeocth, you stoopid, stoopid. 10+9 aint no 21.

    Ok, thank you for raising that point. I have confirmed that 10+9 is in fact 19.

    But, there could be some other features that are included with this. I speak, of course, with the upcoming Galactic War. 3spooky5me.

    Each clan (or perhaps, a person fighting on his/her own accord) would upload an image of a certain size that is essentially the same as a faction logo. Promethean would have theirs, realm would have theirs, Pag would have theirs. 'Twould be epic. Of course, this would require a pending service, so no twelve year olds would put d*cks as their logos...

    Obviously, this would be something epic to have in the war coming up lel.

    Thoughts? Not even going to bother with a poll, it'll be clear whether it is popular or not based on your responses.

    I don't actually think that's a good idea. If there are multiple people on a planet, it'll have to show both flags-

    and if you don't know about the other person, that might unfairly inform you O_O

    I suppose the solution could be only showing the flags you have knowledge about.

    or every clan uploads a flag and a player that belongs to that clan shows the clan flag only

    Up for this, as you might have guessed. Think it'd be useful for making factions and lore more relevant, - which as you say ben would be chiefly important for when/if we have clans conquest type stuff in the Galactic War.

    so I used my shitty gimp skills to do this. It'll just give the impression of what it'll look like. Since the color of the factory is gray, I went ahead and kept it gray.


    @igncom1 I DID THIS FOR YOU
    LOVE ME

    Heres a player who chose orange and chose Legonis Machina several factories.png
    The lazy gimp is palpable

    Obviously, the coloration is a bit off, but this definitely has potential

    It's an interesting idea but I'm afraid it may bloat up PA, as in size wise. That's quadruple the textures requires for the game. :p

    it looks cool I just hope that when units are building I can still see them, with the logo there it may block me free open air viewing experience :D

    You could do the same thing with clan decals.
    The only downside I can see is dickbutt on every factory.

    That's what I said in the original post

    and you call that a downside? no, I'm kidding. There would be a moderating process.

    No, the game just needs to layer the image over the texture... World of Tanks does it with clan decals, it doesn't create a new texture, it just adds the clan decal on top of it.
