1) I want to have steampunk skins for my robots. It would make me MUCH more likely to buy the new steampunk expansion.
2) Let the community develop them for you! I thought the contest for creating new zoning screens was great. The current robot skins are just textures in the PIGG files on our local machines, right? Or rather, the skins for ALL critters are graphics within the PIGG files. This whole "you can't modify the client" rule seems mainly to be blocking hundreds of artists who would love to give you free content.
