whats the word on ship colours? from the last fanfest, it was hinted that players would get to choose from a variety of templates, but would not get to paint individual ship parts.

i hope to god ship colours will not be associated with Nex.

any info coming soon?

I cant imagine them not being on the nex store. The problem with players accepting RL purchasing of vanity items is that vanity items will then only be sold for RL cash from then on.

I for one welcome it. By the way, if you would rather not pay RL money on vanity items, then you may earn them in game by converting PLEX into AUR at a rate of 3,500 per Plex.

CCP has said NEX is no longer a priority and it was a mistake to introduce it when they did. So one can only assume they wouldn't then turn around and add a huge expansion to the NEX store in the form of ship skins, because that would totally be going back on that "new direction" stuff.

So yeah, NEX store.

If we are able to paint over the horrible camo on Gallente and Caldari Navy ships (Minmatar camo is less obvious) I might actually consider flying one of them. As it stands now I only fly Amarr Navy ships because they actually have a really cool color scheme and not something absolutely absurd.

Then don't present misinformation like this:

Now, if new ship colors were presented as freebies instead of valued customizations, then everyone would color their ships. When everyone colors their ship the effect of producing a colored ship is diminished in value. In contrast, having more value in ship color adds additional dynamic to the amount of isk lost from a kill mail. Dynamics make things more interesting Blink

No, its coming soon, all you have to do is walk out the door, go down the concourse and talk to the shipwright to get the customization you want.......

oop! Doh!! sorry, was channeling some other promise from CCP!!

OK, time for modern PC 3D graphics rendering pipe unaware idiots to start telling it will cause unacceptable lag.

So once you filter out the morons that tell you it isn't possible the sad bottom line, one more thing CCP promised that you'll never see in your lifetime.

For what it's worth, I would kill to make a black colored Wolf and make it look like a Frekki

No, they are concept art from a player. Not official in any way.

They are quite old as well..

I prey that 'Rainbow' will be an option if they do bring it in. Battles would be so much more colourful.

Those are great, somehow I missed them before.

I admit they also make me a little upset that this hasn't been done.

that first example is exactly how it should be implemented. and heck, as long as it is for a reasonable price (100-500 aur since our ships will eventually go pop) they could sell the paint in the NEX store.
