I don't want to tell you your jobs or anything, but I thought I'd start a thread for SKINS players suggest should be in the game.

I'd totally like to see a SKIN for each faction that's a 'parade skin' done up in faction colors with the faction's flag painted on the side! and I don't mean in the tiny form-factor it is already on some hulls. I mean IN BIG HUGE SCALE, like the size of the ship!

Post your idea for neat SKINS you'd like to see below!

I'd like to see a polish variant of the minmatar ships, such as amarr colours, applied to minnie ships.

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

Drake skin - preferably with a texture similar to hexagon tiles, and it has to be green.

The ability to make custom skins. That is exactly what we want.

Failing that, I really want Satin Black skins with lime green or burnt orange detailing for just about every ship I own.

Although I am afraid the license per ship will cost you a leg and an arm, of your next 100 clones. Roll Another thing is that this painting tool must have a kill switch for every skin that has pink as a component or as main component.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

If CCP is retexturing every ship in game for V5++ then I assume any new skins are going to be done after things get QA'd and what not as well as any new redesigns they've hinted at us like caracal, dominix, chimera, etc. but for what it's worth I'll throw in my wish list of things I would hope make it to Tq

Most definitely been suggested before, but my vote is for purchasable color pallets (Think warframe for thoes that have played it)

ie.
  • Still need to purchase a skin "licence" for a hull, but it just allows you to customize it.
  • You then buy individual colors (or a bunch for a deal)
  • Apply colors as you wish to the hulls you have a licence for

  • CCP can still keep a very similar price model to what they have now, they can dictate what colors are available (no hello-kitty pink) and players get the customization that they really want.

    Other random ideas include:
  • different materials/shaders (eg like the amarr metallic gold)
  • patterns whether incorporated into a color or on there own

  • One day maybe.

    ^^^So much that.

    Not that I'm zoomed in far enough to actually see the ship often, but still it would be nice to make all ships prettier. I mean, just look at this Sarum Venture: http://i.imgur.com/lOBrn4D.png

    I'll crudely Photoshop an image of Helen Thomas onto a picture of your choosing for 30m. PM me.

    I would prefer a ship painting program like was teased at fanfest a while back but in lieu of that i would greatly enjoy the color scheme of the rook applied to pretty much all my ships.

    Theres something deeply sexy about Black with Crimson War Stripes adorning the hull.

    Everyone wants something different.....IMO the only solution is to allow for more flexibility and customization rather than fixed skins that you can only buy for an astronomical amount of Aurum and then apply to one specific ship and no others.

    The recent glitch is evidence enough of this (and also evidence that the game build allows for it to be so, even though it was eventually removed so skins could be restricted - can you say microtransaction....).

    What would be the real solution from any perspective (including financial) is a SKIN mixer:
    1. Put 3 skins of the same type into the mixer (color 1, color 2, logo).
    2. Press "Mix" to destroy those 3 and create a new one.
    3. Profit.

    Ideally introduce per-ship SKIN, which will be bound to the ship in the same way as a rig.

    What I was asking for, aswell

    SKINs are neat. But not really want we was asked for.

    Even if they were to give us a template and adjusting the colours ourselves would've been nice. I like my Intak Mega, the Metallic Blue is really cool. But what I really could go for is a metallic red with some blue highlights. =D

    From the dev panel at fan fest it sounds like tactical cruiser skins are a little way's off. After all, doing one tactical cruiser is the same as doing 25 normal ships! and I think they have to V5++ them first.

    As for the customization topic: I think that CCP would have delivered those to us instead of SKINS if it were economical and feasable. I highly doubt that CCP will just give us ship painting, when one of their new buisness models is to make micro-transactions of us buying skins. I honestly have no problem with this, since micro transactions to buy bling is perfectly acceptable in my book, and you don't have to buy them with real money anyway. I honestly think that this system makes them a lot more money, and we probably won't see custom SKINS for that reason. Loving some of these ideas though!

    Totally +1 for tactical destroyers!
