CCP has the code for completely customizable ship skins. Question is, why don't they release it?

One thing I'd like to see is customization abilities for industrials. Of course this would require huge amounts of work on each ship from CCP so they wouldn't get unbalanced.
Example? -Cruise Megathron, Laser Ravens, Arty Rokh, Hybrid Abbadons, Torp Maelstroms etc etc

This ability should require huge industrial skills at lvl5, invention and reverse engineering as research, build cost should remain on the same line and ship attributes shouldn't be known at the beginning but only after your BPC "cooked" for a couple days, random surprise and could be funny.

This would stick quite well with the "unpredictable" factor, you should never know in advance the strong and the week points of the ship.

Maybe around 2025 Lol

I don't think we need corp logos or to change colours, I would like to see a build date and perhaps wear/damage to hulls though.



the build date is tricky, but the rest is basically what we want anyway at some point

Like I always say in these topics: I support this.

It would really help alliances distinguish themselves and create even more of an identity.

Edit: It would also make the Alliance tournaments a bit easier to make out for newcomers/outsiders who will be looking at the visuals more than the UI and thus will have no idea who is shooting who exactly unless the ships on both team have their own colour sheme.

BoBwins Law: As a discussion/war between two large nullsec entities grows longer, the probability of one comparing the other to BoB aproaches near certainty.

I was about to go all panic mode on this post about how incorporating wear and tear on ship's hulls would be bad for the game, and then I read your name, the rest of the post, and the context of this thread, and realized you were talking about graphics.

In which case wear and tear would be pretty cool.
You could definitely incorporate a "weathered" look depending on how long a ship has been in space. Continuous bombardment with stellar radiation would give the ship skin a somewhat bleached effect. Cosmic dust would sandblast edges and faces of the ship in its direction of travel. You could probably come up with some lore explanation for a type of jump tunnel or warp tunnel radiation that contributes its own effect on the weathering of ship skins.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Don't you worry - surely EVE will have all features of early 2000s MMORPGs. Just check it again in the middle of next decade.

Truth be told, I love the customization offered by T3 cruisers, and would love to see more ships have subsystems. They don't need higher resists, or the ability to be cov ops, but a T3 battleship or frigate, or battlecruiser, would be seriously cool.

After 3 months, all supers and titans turn Caldari-grey from dust, right?
Yeah, would be neat with graphics, I'm just sad my old laptop here won't be able to show them to me. =/

I always wondered the day when we could actually customize
Our ships.
For examples:

Corporation logos on our ships we use.

Customize and build battleships, BC, FG etc.
By buying upgrades or by earning custom fits.

You can customize your character but I think the next step
To increase players interest to play eve would be customization.

What do you think of all that?
And do you think it's possible to do in this kind of game?

How do we go about suggesting that to CCP?

Have anything to add? Please do I'm interested to know
Your thoughts and ideas about it.


Have you pondered how this should be achieved in code?

The amount of extra data that either has to be transmitted to each client or have to be downloaded at each update?

Like everyone having to update their client because some J.Random ******* in his 3 alt corp has updated a logo?

T3 BS? Don't we have enough issues with the T3 cruisers? I don't think CCP would like to move from one can of worms to an ever bigger can of snakes.

And "How do we go about suggesting that to CCP?"
Well there's a forum a bit further down called Features&Ideas ...



:sigh:



lol!

I would like to see this feature so if you are a manufacturing power house, you get to see your ships out there. I agree with the data issue, but if somehow you could only load within x range, it shouldn't be so bad.

Then they need to also add a spaceship was service as an isk sink to remove the wear on our ship so they look clean. Extra ISK for waxing for extra shiny hull.

I would support this but now that the micro transaction model exists in eve, CCP would never let us customize anything without AUR being involved. For that reason I'm sort of hoping this will never happen.

QFT.

I feel like CCP is still bored of the sandbox, and want some Free to Pay Money.

This UI looks pretty damn nice.

Maybe someday CCP will improve the UI to that level.

It's not like no one would misuse this. Hundred of pink ships with the word for the male genitalia on the side in different languages. Or simple ascii images of boobs. All pink. And sure, it would give some laughs but it wouldn't really add something to the game.

I'll still be waiting for my Raven to be covered in bright green plush fur.

If anyone asks I'll say it's some kind of energy dispersion system to neutralize lasers, or something...
