r/DistantWorlds

Hello, I loved DU Universe between many things because of the possibility of completely designing your ships. This was not limited to the components, but you could also change the skin of every ship to any other model, unrestricted by type or race, and I loved that for RP reasons. I dont see the option to do that in DU2, is it even possible? I just started with humans and I honestly dont love the design of the ships too much

What are the chances we see real progress/ability to mod DW2 in the future? I feel like the game has so much potential for longevity and community engagement with modding. Total conversion mods for games like Sins of the Prophets, Star Wars Empire at War, etc. (to say nothing of stellaris) have helped keep those games alive and vibrant. It kinda makes me sad that modding is still largely blocked or difficult to the extreme in DW2 four years on.
