this is a little far fetched, and tough to do. But here goes. A member of the Combat federation staff brought up a good idea, (albeit a tough one). A pof constructor that lets you model a ship, texture it (using only fs2 pallet colors) and then create the pof for it. I know this would be tough, but the finished product would also rock. Hell, with a descent enough tutorial even an artistic moron such as myself would learn to model and texture.
I don't know the feasibility of something like this, or if anyone would even be interested in it. Just throwing an idea out there, and it's kinda source code.......
