I am feeling a little left out in the RWZ and in the Vanguards because I'm a spine/reg. Stalker. I've been thinking why no custom spines? I think it sounds stupid, but when you think about it, it could be a good idea. I mean customizable spines like:
Normal spines(current)
Rigid Spines(Spikey, notched)
Metalic(Dark sharp spines, shiney)
Metalic Rigid(Dark sharp, spikey/notched, shiney)
Talsorian (Metal plugs that stick out from the body that emit the laser type spine weapon)
I hope this is okay. I'm sure there will be problems, so please help me out here so we won't be left out.

The reason why the Spines aren't customizable is because, if they were, you could have purple spines on your body and the spines you'd be throwing/using would still be brown bananas. With power customization in I16, it might be more feasible to get some customized spines, but, as it stands, there is a reason why it's not done.
Well why can't they make it not to throw bananas? And I didn't exactly want colour customization.

And now you need to do some research on how the game performs the various power animations in order to answer those questions because I don't feel like explaining it to someone who doesn't know the least bit about how the game engine actually operates again. You may as well be asking why the energy blasts animate as they do, electrical blasts look the way they do, and every other variant thereof involved ranged animations.

To make this happen with Weapon Customization, which is currently the only way, Spines would need to be drawn as a costume item. Costume items are restricted to items directly on your costume. Items you throw or shoot are not costume items, they are effects, and as of posting this post, effects cannot be customized in real time. BABs can change them manually, but this will change the effect for EVERYBODY.
Again, with the upcoming changes in I16, this may be possible. As of right now, it isn't. What people have been telling you is what BABs told us way back when he instituted custom weapons.
