# Cosmetic Mods

![An overview of STFU mods](/files/JlLwDZCeu9vdMQ3AGu1y)

## Dressed to impress

All ships have three cosmetic mods slots that the player can use to change how a ship looks. These slots include three primary categories.<br>

## Paint Job

A Paint Job is the overall visual design of your ship and could be as simple as a unique color change all the way to a completely unique design that resembles the base ship only in shape.

## Decal

Decals are a way to slap on a mod to the side of your ship that could represent anything from your favorite food (who doesn’t want a ship with pizza on it?) to an obscure reference that we probably shouldn’t even have spent the time making (no spoilers).

## Trails

Trails refer to lighting effects that trail behind your ship and/or ship emissive lighting effects.
