EVE General Discussion

In the interest of progress, my ego (I've been dreaming of this moment for almost 8 years now!) and the latest dev post about the upcoming ship paint program: I've turned on my old ship paint survey in case anyone would like to share their views and ideas on this topic. I've reset the prior 6k participant's votes and the new results will be made public at a later date if anyone wants them.

The survey can be found here: www.tinyurl.com/cppcsurvey

If you'd like to check out some of the ships that may be available at a later date, you can spin a lot of them in your WebGL enabled browser here: www.eohgames.com/labs or from Lukas' LMeve site: http://pozniak.pl/database/

Thanks CCP :3

To be honest, the "pilot program" for ship painting is terrible and will not give an accurate assessment. Only 9 ships can be customized, and they aren't even the most popular ships. They expect people to pay for that? They are sadly mistaken if they think it will be representative of the demand.

You do realize why that is right?

Its a pilot program, a test. If they enabled the most popular ships and a lot of people did this and it caused massive lag or something else we would be grabbing the pitch forks and heading to Iceland.

But you also do a few least used ships, though I don't have the numbers so I doubt the ships chosen are the least popular, because if these ships get skinned then you know for sure that this is what players want.

Picking a popular ship, that could be broken when skinned cause they missed something is stupid. And picking a popular ship when you are trying to get metrics is a good way to skew your metrics. So you pick middle of the road to get a better idea of which way this will go.

Its like everyone complaining about the AUR price... well, if you want this but done want to pay for it then just get the CONCORD one. That shows its wanted, but we don't wanna pay for it.

The point is, you need a base for your metrics to see if its even viable, because you are not just going to make the change to one ship, but EVERY ship, and that will take resources. So if its something extra, you have to prove it will be viable, otherwise we get Monicalgate all over again.
