Seeing skins...an idea

We all want to see peoples tank skins in game, so here is my input. How about setting up a simple site that had a programming link to TT. It would be used for this purpose alone. When downloading the game, an accont would be set up automattically, at the website, under the players most used name. If they wanted to, they could go to the site and post the current skin they wanted to be seen in. Othere members could then unlock, or lock a player. So, if Tankster had a skin I did not like, I could simply lock him and he would appear the normal green. If cadc told me he had a sweet skin right now, I could unlock him and view his skin in all it's glory. This, to my limited knowlegde, would be fairly simple for -Z-, and bravetre??? Let me know your imput.

That is way to advanced to do that. Simply have the skins for everyone upload to the server, and everyone who joins downloads the skins for everyone. Alot of games use that technique.

It would have to be implemented into one of the future TT releases.... but i would imagine tons, and tons of scripting just to see a cute little design on a tank....but the idea seems worthwhile. but i dont think it would be out too soon.... + longer loads...

Or it could be handled like myth, where players get a selection of 2 colors and various (40?) logos to mix and match their appearance. In our world, perhaps some of our work could be added, and we could see different people running around with different (mb our.) skins on.i wrote that poorly. apologies.

Then each team would have some random skin.
Any given game would be "zebra stripes versus the chrome skins" and the next game with the same players would be "taxi skins versus richard petty skins"
Kind of fun i think... and a n endless variety

I'd think it would be cool to have "team skins" were one blue player and one geen player would be chosen at random and those skins would be distributed during a pause before the game starts...Then each team would have some random skin.
