With EVE Online: Rubicon 1.3, to be published on March 11, we introduce an exciting pilot project: ship skins for you!

With this pilot project we would like to see if you are interested in ship ~~skin~~ paint, figure out the demand and if we should go ahead and spend more time in developing a full ship paint project.

Read all about this pilot project in CCP Xhagen's dev blog Ship Painting Pilot Program.

Also welcome the return of the Police Comet!

Please note that this is a pilot project. If demand shows that you really like the ship paint, we will go ahead and implement a proper ship paint system. Your feedback is extremely valuable here!

Woop Woop!

This is a feature that I have wanted to see in EVE since long before I started at CCP and I'm very excited to see us start down this road with you all next Tuesday.

I want to reiterate that this is just an initial pilot program and that if we see evidence that ship customization is desired by our players we will continue to expand and improve it.

I'm also unironically stoked to have the Police Comet back Big smile

When CCP started the V3 conversion of the ship models, possibility of this was mentioned as one of the reasons for it.

I'm sad I'm like the only CSM without free AUR though. Happy with the prices, and the ships are pretty. http://warp-to-sun.tumblr.com -- my blog

NOW, you have a f&%king clue about micro-transactions and how to make money.

$50 monocles - YUCK
$2 for a pink ass Erebus - sign me up scotty

Now, how do we get it past the "Think about it stage" and can we dock an Erebus to paint it pink :) LOL

CCP Greyscale -Yup, we have data on what happens currently, but we're expecting those use patterns to change substantially when this release. There's a degree of "suck it and see" happening here :)
