i don't see how this would cause server lag at all so long as all the preset texture and color choices are part of the client via a patch. once that's done, the choices are relayed to others in the form of numbers that represent the different choices you made. just a string of numbers. it would take much less time than, say, loading a portrait of someone. all possible textures and colors and symbols would already be loaded into everyone's client. all you have to tell everyone's clients which ones go with which ship.
if it does turn out to be a problem for 56kers, then just include an option to turn that feature OFF.

The Helios however is just a green Maulus.
not true at all. i own a Helios. aside from the color change, there are four large spikes on the ship that pulse with white energy, two of which are similar to the spikes found on npc pirate Tristans.
