EVE General Discussion

How I'd like to see it implemented:

1.Design:

a: Camo, Matte, Gloss, Metallic, Pearlescent options for Trim and Main layer.

b: Give each race a limited color palette, probably selectable from within the current playable variants and NPC variants to stay true to the current art style.

c: Choose from a base set of styles decided on by CCP, no wacky pink or cute spaceships.

2.Options:

a: 3 Layers to change; Main, Trim, Running lights.

b: Custom exhaust color.

c: Custom Decals

3.Execution:

a: Sell 3 options for number of uses: 1, 5, 10 use Tickets

b: Paint jobs are removable once finalized becoming a "module" once in this state it can no longer be changed. It can then be sold on the market for ISK.

c: Paint jobs are destroyed with the ship.

d: Make the price for them painless, so people keep coming back for more. 10,000 1 dollar sales are better than 100 20 dollar sales.

e: Rare limited edition skins for higher prices could pop up on the Nex store, or be given out as prizes/gifts.


Opinions?

I dont want to see paint jobs on the nex store. It will make paint jobs unaffordable and even more useless. Clothes are already very expensive for their purpose, but at least there is no way to destroy them like a ship.

Paint jobs should be paid with ISK directly from the wallet(let say 1mil per paint job), a may be only some station could offer the service, like the medical center for clones.

I agree on the "no pink" part. I dont want to see gold plated ship neither.

I agree that some kind of system like the Forza storefront could be nice in EVE. Sell paint jobs to the market for ISK etc...

Custom engines trails: NO. They are already a race "signature". A Minmatar ship with blue trails makes no sense.

If you customize your Minmitar ship with blue running lights and a primarily black paint job, why would red/orange trails make any sense?

Well it seems that is not going to happen, it seems that CCP has plans to add some more clothing options in the next expansion...

So I guess it is time for you to Biomass yourself in butt hurt protest, but give me your stuff first.

Have a nice day!!!

Anyone who pays for Microtransactions while still being charged full price, is an idiot, PLEXes will skyrocket making them unaffordable to anyone without 40 hours a week spare time. Hi-rez studios has the right idea which is why i more than gladly pay them for micro transactions every so often. The don't give an advantage other than the ability to get weapons faster. The game is free and all weapons are unlockable through gameplay.

Someone seems to be a fan of NFS:Underground and rice rockets.

Yay for straw men!

Put some sunglasses on the next one, please.

I like your rack but you need to take that metal out of your face.


Also anything thats singular gets suicide ganked. True story


And it would take a lot of work to make your vision happen and before you know it every would by flying ponies just to annoy everyone else. Also a true story

Well if there is one thing we have learned from ridiculous kill mails with ridiculously expensive ship fits is that some people like to bling out there ships with the ridiculous amounts of isk they have. And there seems to be a a lot of isk in the game that needs a place to be burnt.

And since the clothing store may not be the best way to burn that isk, since all you can really do is stand alone in your lonely captains quarters looking at yourself in your mirror.

Maybe being able to bling out your ship with more unique paint jobs and flashy lights would be more appealing for those that like to bling out ships. I think it probably would be since people can look at how much money you spent on your primary target...err I mean blingmobile.

I think it would be kind of nice to have some options such as the OP's. Although also think such options would be unlikely currently. Since have all those customization options for ships would increase the load stress on the servers a whole lot, especially in any situation where there are a large number of ships with such options, such as fleet fights, jita whatnot.

I can see CCP making it so you can change the way your ship looks, but probably not with so many options. Like change the lights, engine trails multiple color options and what not. Something more in line with swapping out the normal skin/texture map of your ship with a different one.

Pretty much everything in EVE appears in-game through some sort of player activity, whether it's mining, production, research, agent running, or blowing up ships.

Why should these cosmetic things be any different?
