Skins based on Standing would be fantastic!

I am 9.8 standing with the Angel Cartel and yet the Angel rats still shoot me, I wish someone would send them the memo that I am one of them. Apart from the free Macharials that I received there is no way of knowing that I am held in such high esteem by said faction.

I understand that in its current implementation it is not feasible but if I was able to fly a special ship because of my high standings to a specific faction and able to show my allegiance them that would be amazing!

In this iteration a skin would probably have to be closer to a rig (bound to the ship, destroyed on removal and does not drop on the destruction of the ship). In the same vein that if you don't have a certain skill you can fit a rig, if you havent got +8.0 to Angel Cartel you won't be able to fit the "paint job" module.

A coloured Cynabal because of my work for the Angel Cartel and encouraging me to work so I can colour my Mach.

When entering faction warfare you would only be able to colour simple frigates but once you had shown your loyalty to the said faction you would be able to colour cruisers and battleships.

A great way of encouraging progression and loyalty to a faction and being able to show it off to your friends.

If it was anything more substantial than "just a texture," people would be screaming "pay to win!" and they'd probably be right.

2011 was three years ago. Why are you still clinging to it? And how is the ISK price unreasonable?



The terms of the pilot are that they will gauge support for the idea by the success of this effort. If you don't support the effort, that will be one data point against rolling out comprehensive, dedicated support for ship skins.

I am afraid that the "Police car' Comet cause epic surge of Gallente farmer in Cal-Gall FW field.

And could you change Navy Ship BPC as well as those new BPC?
Now, Navy Ship BPCs are worthless because they require +10% additional minerals.
Make them to require whole nomal ship, Navy BPC will be more valuable.

Glad you guys are finally doing this, been waiting for a long time. While understandably you call this a pilot program with a limited amount of ships available to receive said paint job, I am saddened by the ships available. I will certainly be buying these blueprints from the Nex store in order to help support the cause, but would've preferred there were a few more ship options to utilize. Anyway, again, glad to see this moving forward - I truly hope this gets a lot of support from the community (and I expect it will.)

One question which wasn't clearly specified in the Dev Blog. In your "future plans," should this move forward, are you looking at proper custom skins, ie not skins designed just by you. Or rather, skins that may have the patterns designed by you, but with colors picked by the user, from a pre-determined palette. I say pre-determined palette because of, well, Thorax.

here's another put more police skins for the other navy frigates, not fair that there's only police comet, there should also be police slicer, hookbill and firetail

Very cool. I plan on buying at least one of each just to make sure you keep this going.

Also PLEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE release the rest of the clothing that you have on SiSi to Tranq.

Woop Woop! - Count me in!

A few questions and one comment:

Question #1: So, in determining if this is worth the devs time, have you placed a static number of purchases necessary to be deem viable for continued development? If so, what is that number?

Question #2: If there is no minimum number to achieve, how is the viability of pursuing these paint jobs going to be determined?

Question #3: Is there a possible long-term goal of developing, either an in-game or out of game, a tool to make our own designs?

Question #4: Is it in the plan to have the paint jobs have two parts, for example, you have the design options, then you can choose a color option?

Suggestion #1: As much as I think this is a GREAT idea, that I cannot express is long overdue to such a game as this, I would think that for these first examples, instead of having a rustic red colored design on a ship that has a brown color scheme already, combined with the black backdrop of space.. that maybe you would want to try more "visible" or "loud" colors to really bring out the design more easily. This way more people could see the difference more readily, and if it is easier to see the difference, you are likely going to have more people interested in it. Just my two cents on that.

Otherwise.. sign me up! Count me twice, three times.. even four!

Great idea and glad to see CCP finally starting to work towards SHIP SKINZ. I feel the price point is a bit high, and would have liked to see an unlimited-run blueprint available, but I'll take it!

another concept......extend the customization options of the engine for spaceships i mean, like when you enter character customization......in fact.....it would open a whole new revamp of the fitting window, both for gameplay and aesthetic purposes. for example:

i buy a rifter, i want to customize it, the station has a "customization hangar", this service replaces the fitting one, and works similar to the character customization menu, the ship will be shown in 3D on the screen and you will be able to select different basic patterns and put the colors you want, even patterns you bought from the NEX store or from the market, or shared with other players, the menu also has the fitting system included, it could even cover modules, so you can also paint your turrets, launchers, salvagers, etcetera......
