Having to purchase ship skins using Aurum is a bad idea. The community for a long time has asked for this feature. It should have been apart of the game a long time ago. The lack of customizable aesthetic features in eve have been appalling. While I am excited about the possibility of maybe changing a ships colors, I will not be paying RL money for a feature that should be free, so that I can fly a slightly different looking ship into battle, all the while paying a monthly subscription fee to play. I have been a loyal player for over 5+ years but I think due to the already lack of customizable aesthetic features, CCP the least you could do is offer it for free!!!!!

P.S. for those of you who do not know

" In the first release of the pilot program we will be introducing eight skins available for Aurum, and one available exclusively through in-game achievement."

"Frigate paint; around 45 AURUM (~$0.23-$0.26) for a single application
Battleship paint; around 350 AURUM (~$1.75-$2.00) for a single application"

Some people are going to need repeated applications.

Gank magnets. They should have at least made industrial ship skins available.

There should be a skin for the Machariel that makes it look like a Thorax. And vice versa.

And a skin for Moa that either makes it look invisible, or just look like anything but a Moa.

That was an argument made in the dev blog. It is true I could buy a plex, but then some one else is paying for a feature that should be free.

I am not whining, just let down and disappointed CCP wants to go this direction. Maybe it will be like walking in stations, and just die out.

It's quite simple really. If you don't want to put that skin on your Retriever, then don't.

CCP has their playerbase, so they can do w/e they want.. bleeding anything (players in this case) for what they're worth is just business and economics 101; it doesn't really affect gameplay, but it just kinda sucks to see them doing it.

If the ship is destroyed, do we still keep the paint? Are we able to use it on a new ship of the same type?

Once upon a time the Golem had a Raven hull and it looked good. Then it transformed into a plataduck. The end.

Now what would be really funny is if they rebated half of the aurum to the ganker.

I highly doubt it will be the new monocle.

You can't blow up the monocle.
