basicly some minor changes for the ships when they are damaged and when idle
when damaged:
ICC shields create small electrical storms on the hull basicly 2 or 3 lightning spikes. hull vents blue smoke and many more storms on hull when below 10% hull.
UGTO: armor is smoking red smoke when damaged and when damaged badly it leaks out plasma or a deep blue smoke.
Kluth: hull and armor show holes and scortch marks that look as if someone had been shot with a gun this includes more of a blood pouring out the blood would be orange. and when below 10% peices of the ship are actualy missing and bleeding badly in those missing places.
=====================================================
Idle or just what it looks like normaly.
there should be a small shaft or section that shows the jump drive active near the engines IE
ICC: blue bright ball that shines like a star
UGTO: three small red orbs that shine like stars.
Kluth: a small red lightning spike that constantly changes.
those are just some ideas and i would think many others have more
please post some of your VERY REASONABLE ideas and thats not a joke i want to see plausable ideas here please.

I like these ideas. Earth 2150 had nice shield graphics like those described here and that was like 10 years ago so surely it could be done with a little effort.
As for the jump drive effects, I actually really like these. It would be of tactical interest to be able to see if someone's jump drive is charged yet.
I do not think they will be on board with the blood and guts angle for the kluth, even though it is logical and reasonable in concept, just because they will want to keep this game as close to PG-rating as possible. Perhaps consider alternative ideas for this than blood and guts.

Kluth ships can be re-colored perhaps?
Make them black and shiny, sorta an oily shimmering texture reminiscent of Shadow Battlecrabs of B5. Them's sinister looking things....
Maybe with some dark purple glowing bits here and there for power effects.
