When are we getting these?
They exist in the database, are linkable but just not enabled for us.

chinese skins

Given that they were Prizes over there, I wouldn't expect to see them till at the earliest the next AT, maybe NEO, maybe never and CCP will leave them exclusive to the Chinese Server.

You cant give us a shiny toy and then take it away on Christmas morning, because it was for other kid and our name on box was there by mistake.



It will be Baltimore 2.0 in Jita. The Scope will be there filming it and bam!, we create lore again. Lore by us, Capsuleers.


And the Chinese can have their golden ravens, mega's, moas, etc etc. And they do not fit in the lore. And yet they have them.

Maybe CCP should stop treating chinese people differently, limiting prizes to only one server, if anything the event or lottery should be on both servers, Don't llimit the prizes for one server. What Chinese have that we don't have? PLEX for 4B ISK? I don't know if that makes you feel sorry for them and you tried to compensate something, because that would explain this special treating and CCP Rise reaction at Fanfest.

Those Yachts, It was not really fair CCP. You make ship and leave it to only a few gamers to decide which bunch of not related gamers would get it. I don't even knew people who were sitting there, at this tournament. If I never meet them in game once, how I was involved? By sitting on my hands while they were shooting each other?

Give equal.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Wow.

Undocumented feature, in keeping with the less is more lore paradigm of recent patches.

Response:

Sorry. We don't actually want you to have fun. In fact, it's a bug. We will be turning it off next week.

The entire mechanic of SKINS is already at odds with the fundamental nature of eve; they are tied to a single character, cannot be traded, and cannot be destroyed. The reason for this is simply so that CCP can break into the pandas online demographic and gain an extra revenue stream at the expense of the eve universe.

Taking the next step and disregarding the lore and credibility of the eve universe by proliferating these skins randomly onto any and every ship will be a step too far.

Be happy with the skins you have, you have got what you wanted and CCP can increase their revenue, with at the moment only a minimal negative impact onto the wider game.

There is no "expense of the eve universe" though.

Also... lore is great and all but do you believe every single excuse someone comes up with?

You know what this whole thing might as well be?

Brilliant marketing. ^_^

We'll see how this story ends.

You know a feature is badly implemented when the bugs with it generate more excitement and positive feedback than the feature itself.

If those incidents get response such as this recent one, they should be considered features. Features this game needs, well, if not to full extend as this "bug" stands for, it should teach someone in CCP to listen to players more.

I got that skin working on a Vindicator, without the corp-logo problems your Kronos has and it is absolutely incredible!

Edit:

Also, have you seen how great the Guristas SKIN goes with the rust effects on Minmatar ships?

And what now? Maybe some Gurista pirate likes to fly rifters? Would that be lore breaking and CCP would tell him to shut up? Lol

Obviously you can't just keep a bug because people like it. But I think this whole deal has done a lot to illustrate how much people actually want legitimately customizable ship appearances and how not interested people are about paying a months worth of sub to get a skin that applies to a single T1 hull.

The entire spiel about T2 hulls having unique appearances is also totally ridiculous. By the same logic having color patterns that previously only existed on T2 hulls (khanid, sarum, Laidai, Roden) should be equally confusing. It's a dumb explanation. If this is really a problem the best solution is to make the T2 ship models be visually distinct.

The lore explanation is also stupid because the changes to the ship are totally cosmetic and the scope video even has pirates using it to imitate a mega corporation ship.

Very much like the rest of the Nex store CCP has a product here that people will buy but no idea how to sell it.

Wauw, this is awesome... They should just enable this instead of that other limited skin thingie they got in the game now.

I miss having ISK.

He's right. You are an idiot. This thread is full of idiots who think they understand all the technical details better than CCP does. It's full of whiny entitled b****** just like the other thread about the damage control icon. Just like the Jita Riots.


"You aren't giving me exactly what I want exactly when I want it. Whaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

*insert a bunch of big words you probably don't understand trying to justify how it totally makes sense for CCP to do whatever you say to do now because customer, business model, technical stuff, democracy, Jesus, and French fries*

Just in case lore is seriously going to be a reason not to allow mix and match SKINs as it were, the lore would actually support it 100%.

1. It's been established that the Empires are losing their grasp on Capsuleers for a while now. We've been merrily doing our own thing, ignoring whatever the Empires want and certainly not abiding by their historic values. We have Gallente pilots flying Amarr ships and Caldari pilots shooting Caldari Navy ships. They don't control us or the ships we fly.

2. The camouflage technology that made SKINs possible in the lore is readily available to everyone and it stands to reason that Capsuleers, stubborn as we are, would tinker with it to get any desired effect. Capsuleers wouldn't give a rats *ss about what an Empire's ship is supposed to look like. We're Capsuleers, we create our own empires and we'll certainly decide for ourselves how we make our ships look.

So please, CCP, give us the freedom to apply any SKIN on as many ships as possible. This thread is a testament to some of the amazingly awesome looking ships it could create and how badly people want to have them. Don't ignore that, you're smarter than that!
