I would like to suggest the ability for players to put custom paint jobs on their own ships. Would be interesting and allow players to put a personal touch on their own ships and not being the same as everyone else. Plus Corp and Alliances could pick colors to represent them and players could paint their ships to match.

This seems like a way to go in a game the boost individuality but forces us all to use the same color ship and be lost in a crowd. Other player please post your ideas and feelings about this idea. Do you agree with me or disagree. Let see if we can get ccp to all us to truely show our individuallity.

Where have you been? Not to be rude but this feature is well on its way.

Like artists say, the minute you can paint your ship there would a a hello kitty ship or a Penis Avatar. That being said they told us that there will be some custom emblems from corp possible on the ship and also choose shades of gray jk.

daw'h, I wanted to paint all of my ships a golden-brown with a great, big, diagonal red stripe on their flanks :(

It's on the way already? Got a link for this information? Anyways, I'd love to be able to point my ships.

its not exactly a custom paint job, but they are going to be paint jobs for everyship available for purchase with aurum and hopefully isk. The reason being that every color scheme requires the server to pull out a new model instead of a new skin so having 64 bit color pallet for just base armor makes it 18446744073709551616 possibilities just for ONE ship. This is nearly unacceptable for clients to store and make ready for client call up verses the current appox 34,000 ships total currenlty.

I know this sounds backwards way of doing things but shader engines and the sorts are not the most flexible the technologies behind eve are often requires breaking alot of old stuff. There are alot of things from the original eve coding thats still in the way of progress and continues to break the game quite often even to this day.

Currently they are revamping every ship to be closer in apperance to the in shop multimillion polygon ships they have for thier special'er' movies and making all the new ships new skin compliant which is actually more efficent on apperance thus reducing lag while looking about 20% more cooler.

Well even just options for a different look for ships would be interesting. custom or multiple options(Already made paint jobs) for the ships would make me happy.
