I'm sure this has been discussed before hence why I'm asking here rather than anywhere else. But I was wondering what the word was on ship personalization... like painting it different colours and such? Do CCP have any plans to implement this if not why not? Just curios nothing more.

So...you are sure it has been discussed before (and that is correct)

The Game is 10 years old, I would think that such a thing has been discussed before. And yeah search button was looking for more of a cliff notes version to an answer rather than researching 10 years of threads to get at the answer. I was being lazy.

Understandable.

As of yet, there's no real customization options available. But in somewhat recent events, and idea threads, the notion of custom paint jobs, or corp and alliance paint themes, or alliance symbol decals, has been received positively. Nothing of the sort is officially in the works at the moment, to my recollection, but it's a possibility.

There has been talks by CCP in the past about having the option of corp/alliance logos on ships. Or even complete paintjobs
But not more then talks

And to be honost, I don't think it will come to EVE soon. Mainly because it will eat up server resources.

1000 vs 1000 man fleets now a days already are putting a strain on server nodes.

Can you imagine when you have 1000 v 1000 battle, with 2000 different ship skins to load and render.

Well, Corp & Alliance logos on ships made it to the second place of the "Reasonable Things" list, making it slightly more likely that they'll be implemented "soon (TM)".

Yet they are still talks about only, so nothing for the immediate near future to expect.

And the corp/alliance logos. I can see that happen much easier then complete skin textures on complete ships.

I think* i remember reading an interview with a dev who said it would not significantly effect server load or lag.

Well, if that's the case...I"m all open for it (read: I want my Hello Kitty Kestrel).

But, believing something a CCP Dev says, in an interview. Keno, I expect you to know better.

It should not add too much to server "live load" but start up etc where you would need to download every piece of personalized art would be quite a bandwidth load and hard drive hog.

Lazy loading would mean system changes and grid loading would be even slower.

Its a nice idea, but not necessarily easy in a game of this scale.

[edit] It could also unduly tax grx card memory. Instead of 1 texture for all rifters on field, you now need a separate texture for each one. Sure it can be coded around and made fast. But its not as trivial as it sounds.

AKA the scientist.

Death and Glory!

Well fun is also good.
