Free Content for sure.

Make potions to change certain colors and mix and match to make your ship personal.

Then make special Corporate issue skins like the Ishikone Scorp for the Shop.

Either, as long as we can have em in the Winter Expansion!! Corp logos are sorely needed!

Free, and destroyable. If it costs aurum, you should get a BPO and not a skin.

The world is a community of idiots doing a series of things until it explodes and we all die.

I like this idea. Aurum should give you a bpo of it.

Oh and corp logos on ships aren't sorely needed. Other things are sorely needed. Corp logos on ships are down the list a bit.

Give CCP some time folks. Once they have designed werewolves for WoD you can get furry skins!

Already posted my opinion on ship skins in another post. ;)
Quote:


Read some post here someone stating that ship skins is something we all want. I do not want them, the way it sounds CCP wants to implement them. I think they sound silly... Like leopard tangas. Unsexy...

Good example of clothes and skins as a fun part of the game:
APB Reloaded.

- Design your own logos/textures for cars, place them exactly, create super-looking cars
- Buy basic designs for inGame money in the store if you are too lazy to design your own.
- Unlock even more design options through gameplay
- Invest time and design super-cool clothes (some players in this otherwise fairly mediocre F2P shooter have become known as great designers)

For EVE they would have to reduce the color palette. In APB Reloaded though it is great fun to work on your car or clothes or graffiti tag. Note: I do not say skins could be implemented in EVE that way, but just buying them is not FUN. And wasn't that the reason we didn't get WiS this winter? *smirk*

Bad example for ship skins:

STO
- Select from a very limited palette of patterns. Some look good, some look silly. The universe is half-filled with both, all kinda looking the same anyways.
- Buy more skins for real money (acceptable amount), get even more silly looking spaceships
- See your microscopic fleet logo through big magnifying glass

I think so far CCPs implementation plans sound more STOish to me.

Since ccp wants to sell skins I suggest fleet striping instead. Theyll be much more observable than corp logos.
