Update on Veneers
Looks like sooner rather than later :3
Source: Sarmatiko

Quote:
Aliastra purchased a large fleet of Catalysts several years ago, to protect its inter-Empire shipping routes. Subsequent evaluations determined that the Catalyst was considerably over-gunned for many of its safer routes, so 30% of their hulls were sold off and replaced by cheaper frigates. Some of these ships have since been retro-fitted for capsuleer use, and their distinctive color scheme makes them something of a collector's item.

Quote:
Inner Zone Shipping's main claim to fame is as the Bank of Luminaire's preferred courier for high-value shipments. Catalysts are their preferred escort craft, combining high speed and maneuverability with an extremely heavy punch. For its highest-value runs, IZS prefers to use brand-new hulls, which are then immediately sold off after use to prevent unscrupulous elements from tracking their ID numbers. While most of these ships are repainted and sold as stock, Inner Zone has discovered a lucrative sideline in selling a few on to capsuleer collectors, who place a premium on ships with interesting histories.

Quote:
The Intaki Syndicate fields large numbers of Catalysts as deep-space patrol craft. Its heavy armament lets it punch well above their weight, and its expansive cargo bay allows it to cruise for months between supply stops. Recently though, the Syndicate has retired a considerable number of its older hulls, with rumors suggesting their imminent replacement by a newer destroyer design. Regardless, their extensive military service gives them particular cachet among capsuleer collectors.

Quote:
Ostensibly a civilian transport corporation, InterBus claims it possesses no military capabilities. Despite this, small numbers of Catalyst hulls bearing the corporation's distinctive yellow color scheme continue to circulate among capsuleers. InterBus has thus far declined to make any comment on their provenance, which if anything has raised their value among collectors.

Quote:
In its continuing campaign to gain 100% brand awareness, Quafe is constantly looking for new ways to draw attention. One of their recent successes has been the distribution of limited-edition Quafe ships to eager capsuleers, and this Catalyst is one of their latest offerings. While functionally just a stock Catalyst, this ship's iridescent blue paint job and prominent Quafe logos makes it a highly sought-after collector's item - as well as an unmissable advert for Quafe's market-leading range of thirst-quenching beverages!



6 Months ago I started a project to fill in time while waiting for CCP to release their new custom veneer system which we now know is finally coming (soon™). It took a lot longer than expected due to lack of free time but I finally have a decent selection of images from this project that I've shared on Twitter, FHC and reddit. Here are my favourites, all of which use textures and ship designs that already exist in the client files. If you made a request and it isn't here I apologise :3

If custom veneers don't come really soon I'd eat my underpants, if I was wearing any.

I had stopped doing these due to RL issues, but seeing as I messed up your avatar image a while back I'll do one more just for you.

Seeing these images makes me want to read a comic based in the eve universe.

Looks more like cubism inspired a mix of mandelbrotism and classic fractalism, diffidently avant-garde modern art if you ask me.

I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.

Very nice...

Especially the part where these textures could be customizeable, one of the things EVE is lacking: Ship painting!

This is very nicely looking though it doesn't rly fit into the current graphicstyle of eve, but that's not saying I would very much enjoy a version of EVE with this kind of borderlands-ish graphical style to it :)

All in all I think it's rly nice and well done and the video was stellar!
