Proposal
Change all vehicle deeds to look like their generated counterpart instead of the current generic square puck.
Justification
This is already a thing specifically with the Flare-S Speeder, But it would be helpful for searching a desired vehicle if you could see the what the vehicle will look like once generated. Also, it never hurts to have more items for decoration!
Motivation
My personal motivation probably lays more on the decoration side, but there have been plenty of times I had to google what a specific deed looked like so this would help new and old players alike.
Have all vehicle schematics look like their generated version instead of a small generic square puck.

Yea - I like this idea a lot. Great improvement for people who may not be familiar with the different types of vehicles and what they look like. Great suggestion!
 
Just hoping this doesn't get lost in the ether while there is still interest in improving vehicles in general. Thanks for all your support!
 
I would like to see this. It adds immersion. Only downside I could see is it could possibly cheapen the Vehicle Garage as that is the primary trait of that structure. (if that is on this server :) ).
 
The TCG Vehicle Garage is not available (yet) But I know for me at least it wouldn't cheapen it. It's my most desired building regardless of if this change, which had more pro's than just for decoration were to be implemented.

Not just vehicles - But I'd LOVE to see all structure plans have their images, instead of the brown data-pad after they've been initially spawned..

For context - Legends appeared to replace the datapad with 1/16th models (I'm guessing, it could have been smaller) that when dropped in the home became mini-models of the various houses-harvesters-etc.
It was a great little QoL feature, having your spare harvesters and buildings on a shelf or floor decorating the place rather than some dumb datapad sitting in a box

[I would have posted this as a separate feature, but I seem to not have permission yet to make posts]

The amount of times I have had to google image search different deeds 😅. This would be so helpful. Schematics too, like when for example using the singing mountain sister vendor - I've had to Google each item to see what they look like before choosing which to purchase.
 
An issue I ran into when doing it for ship textures on my mess around server they can then be dropped as models in a house and some are substantial.

Hm. Maybe vehicle and ship deeds should not be droppable unless in a garage or hangar.

I would think the same. AoA hanger and Garage buildings are intended for display.

In your inventory makes sense, or perhaps a ship viewer terminal at the Chassis dealer it deeds in inventory causes the dropped deed to display as rendered item.
