I'm not a big aurum person, I actually hate it, but since it exists Ive decided to use it for things I use a lot when I have it to spare.

E.G. I use a Rattlesnake and a Kronos to run missions a lot. My Kronos has the police skin, but Im stuck with vanilla on the Rattlesnake. I understand pirate faction being unique, but it would be cool if we could customize a small number of ships we use on a regular basis. Ide prefer being able to use templates to make our own skins like CCP teased while back, but for now Ide be OK with just having the game not have ships you can not change. Any info or plans on this?

I d like a snake skin too. See what I did there HARHARHAR!

I mean I have to confess, I am a bit addicted to shipskins, I am rich ingame and I do like pretty things! And it is not pay to win, the ship skins are just some nice addition to get CCP some extra currency!

Considering Pirate ships contain elements and features given by two pirate groups and not just one, though they all only have one SKIN, I'd have to agree somewhat that ships like the Rattler not having an Angel-type SKIN at least for instance seems rather odd after thinking on it. It would be nice if the second faction associated with these ships would get a SKIN for that ship. Adding other flavors of SKINs in the same vein as the most recent ones to the ships that still have absolutely no SKIN beyond the default, including Pirate ships, would just be icing on the cake, as it were.

For some Pirate ships I wouldn't mind some "default" skins.

Want to fly a Worm in CalMil? Slap a Caldari Navy SKIN on that puppy. Want you Gila to look like a Moa? Slap a Caldari State SKIN on it.

And there's also the recuring need for golden Asteros which would be easily achieved with an Amarr Empire SKIN, which is gold by default.

I'm all for as many new skins as we can get. I have never bought one and most likely never will, but skins give an extra revenue stream to CCP that they can pour back into the game without giving players any extra advantage. I see no downside to that.

Every ship in the game should have at least one glorious amarrian skin.
Nothing is not greatly improved with ivory and gold, nothing i say!.

Amaar ships are really pretty ever since they upped the graphics. Ide really like to see a ship with no paint that looks like its made out of shiney brushed aluminum though.

Honestly I just hate the paint job on the rattlesnake. Would love a digital cammo in another color although if i could cross it with any faction ide put a blood raiders skin on it. A ship that looks like a blood covered scorpion would ne awesome. I mean why limit us if we are "painting" them ourselves.

CCP is completely deaf to our SKIN desires.

I just want Megacorp skins for all Caldari, Mordu, and Gurista ships. Except for Wiyrkomi. Your color(s, nope) sucks.

Ishukone, Kaalakiota, Nugoeihuvi, Sukuuvestaa... this is the stuff dreams are made of.
