I like the idea, but I think that the colour schemes should be limited in some ways. I don't want to see pink Megathrons flying about. I am sure I have seen this suggestion before - the worry was how much extra lag this would cause when you were in a high traffic system.


when system enters tidi or frame rate drops below 15 custom colour scheme reverts to standard low res skin?

Personally, I think this thread has the potential to become a threadnaught like the Hi-Res texture thread. Lets do it CCP!!!

T'amber/Apricot Baby did a fair few ship skin concepts and the associated UI during their run for CSM 7, you can find them linked here.

He also got 70 assorted, and expensive Frigates to warp into a lvl 4 Recon 3 gas cloud for giggles, epic troll Pirate

I like the idea.

Just like some ships have a camo pattern today, this could be extended. Customized camo patterns for your ship. Not just choose colour from droplist. It needs some limitations.

More camo pattern definately.

You have your pink Megathron. Don't be greedy.

Its not just paint jobs, the corp logo editor needs a overhall with more options added (possible upload facility) to create better Corp Logo's that we apply to all corp members ships via a corp option.


The special edition condor with the Gurtistas Pirate logo on the side is flawless and makes me drool for this to implemented as a feature.

The whole 'skins will increase server load' thing annoys me a little. Because it doesn't have to. CCP have said so already and frankly anyone with any IT savy can see how it doesn't have to.

When you load grid, you load the hull types of all those ships. The hull type (probably a single integer ID) will then be used to get the ship's stats, and then your capsuleer skills to modify those stats, as well as ammo, and implants etc etc. Pulling the single integer ID at the beginning is not likely the problem given how much else has to occur afterwards. If these new skins were separate hulls in the nex store, then the process would be identical. That new integer ID would just refer back to the original hulls stats, or alternatively (and more simple) it's own set of stats, which happen to be identical.

This would be no different to the current system.

The corp logo thing would only cause client side load and could be turned off in the options. You already load the corporation of each ship when you hit grid, all that's left for the logo to appear is for the client to interpret it.

WRONG WRONG....

It would cause horrible HORRIBLE drag on the server, resulting in lost ships, and people quitting in a rage...


Well, then again...you could be right...

I bet this is just an nerf AFK cloakers thread anyway...

Hello all,
Well it would appear that CCP has begun implementing the ideas we have been discussing for some time now. I for one am ecstatic, however I am a bit disappointed in their method of distribution. That of course being the purchase option of using Aurum. However I myself believe that to get this started it is worth it. Later on after it has been fully implemented into the system and CCP has recouped it's costs for design and code then we can begin screaming for a different method rather than the Aurum. I know I am going to get trolled harshly for this post and my support of CCP in this and everything else from my grammar all the way down to the color of my kids shoes....but OFW that is life and as Monty python says.....Always look on the bright side of life.........
Sincerely,
Angelus Micheal

A selection of designs would be more preferable I should think. Give someone a marker and tell them to pain the ship, you will find penises and vaginas landing on gate.

Any customer can have a *ship* painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Welcome back, how is the little one? Taller than CCP Guard yet?


lol!

thank you, it's good (and scary) to be back Cool
It's good to have you back! And on the 'scary' part; On a dark stormy night a few years from now, when your little toddler can't sleep from the booming thunder and the howling wind, you can sooth it by telling a bedtime story. About those raving lunatic murderous madman in their gargantuan space-faring killing machines. Scary monsters, all of them. That you KNOW them and they know YOU. And although they are monsters, killers in the pitch black ice cold void of space, they like you, they care for you.
I bet you a billion Isk that your toddler will fall sound asleep in the comforting knowledge that in the surrounding of its mother, all monster are like purring kittens in front of a fireplace and there is nothing in the world and the stars beyond to be scared of!...Blink

On topic: I hereby pledge that I will shoot on sight any ship that has a Hello Kitty painted on its hull. Unless it's pink, of course...

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......
