Admittedly I'll have to watch you through the screen of Magic Tree air fresheners which now festoon my cabin, hung to disguise the smell of burnt fur, but closely nonetheless! <raises hand in claw-like gesture of defiance, gets it tangled in dangling air-fresheners>

I can get you those air fresheners at a really good price.....

Every order comes with a lovely, fluffy, cutesy Trumble.

pine-scented trumbles hmmm

Hmmm... what would people think about an OXP which contained nothing but extras you could buy for your ship that didn't actually have any game function whatsoever? Air fresheners, furry dice, glow-in-the-dark religious statue, etc.? There would be no effect other than flavour, and give pilots something to waste their money on -- and possibly provide some amusing messages in the heat of combat: "Furry Dice destroyed"; "Knobbly Seat Cover damaged"; "Nodding Dog detroyed"; and so on and so forth.

IIRC there was a mod pr something for Arcelite, which hung a couple of green dice on the rear view mirror in the hud.

As far as your idea is concerned, it sounds excellent, anything which adds to the ambience and flavour pf the game is very welcome, I'll place an order now for a CD/mp3 player, and a nodding trumble!

That must surely kill the trumble involved, considering they have no necks...

Aliencruelty aside, I am always in favour of needless, useless mods that add variety to the game.
