To fix the already broken paint job idea.

For paint jobs, I think this would be the best way to do it. First make a new slot/slots in the fitting window for the paint jobs, instead of having them built in with the blue print. Also having a paint job doesn't change the type of ship it is, like how the Navy Comet turned into the Police Comet. There should be either just one slot for a paint job, or I'd like to see 3, and the 3 slots are for different parts of the ship, so you can change around different paint jobs for all different types of looks. Can start out with just one slot in the fitting window though if that's the best way. Any paint job can be applied to any ship also.
Also paint jobs costing AUR just needs to be taken away. They should all come from LP stores, I'd say 5 to 6 different paint jobs per LP store, and cost in LP and ISK is anywhere from what a +1 implant cost to a +3 implant depending on the paint job. This is so that the paint jobs doesn't raise the value of the ship it's on by too much. I think these changes would make having paint jobs on ships worth while, and not make your ship a target by just having a paint job. If you think this sounds good, please like and hopefully CCP will listen and instead of trying to get more money from us for something we have asked about for years, they listen and paint jobs can turn into something more common in EVE. Thanks for your time.

You ask too much. Don't be greedy or CCP will just ignore the idea like they always do.

2 slots. One for paint and one for logo / pin stripe / details.

It has to be AUR. This game needs to be paid for just like any other.

Aurum can be bought with isk at a current rate of ~187000isk per AUR if you choose a 1000AUR token or a plex conversion (500AUR tokens trade for 160000isk per AUR and 100AUR tokens for 230000isk per AUR). For a single run BP for the Hyperion Aliastra Edition, you will need 350AUR. That means you will have to pay about 65mil isk for your paintjob. Thats not bad at all, especially since the hull already goes for 223mil isk...

The only problem with this procedure is that each distinct paint job is added as an additional hull in the game, and this produces a limit on the number of different variants you can have in the end. But the current system is also good because it gives you the opportunity to buy an already painted ship at the market. At the time of this post you will pay a 2mil premium for it, but you wont have to do any work like buying AUR via tokens/plex, buying the hull and producing the ship.

This is spot on. The people complaining about vanity items costing AUR need to stop. As soon as AUR items make your ship or capsuleer statistcally better or the AUR items start to cost 100$, then you can complain.

Oh wow is this thread really in the Eve forums.....

Go ahead spend $20 to make your Golem pretty pink. This will make suicide ganking someone much more satisfying. *Evil laugh*

Edit: When you do this CCP please make sure the "Paint" shows up in the lossmail. I don't want my kill to be undervalued P
