Sales would go better if shipskins dropped, that way gankers wouldn't have to learn how to play with blueprints.

There's no direct evidence to indicate that sales aren't already good. This could very well be a planned part of the data collection looking at different pricing points within the trial period.

We don't really have any data to know whether early sales have met, exceeded or under performed against CCPs expectations.

Secondly, my new gank/awox/wardec alt wouldn't particularly care if the blueprints dropped or not. As long as the ship dies, so can the skin. Its not like that character would ever bother skinning a ship that will never be flown. At best it would be sold on the market, but more than likely would just be trashed.

If 0.0 boring too, go find new game?

Where do you buy skins anyways

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

I feel like they should have at least given the Mega a skin

I too think that a few paint jobs to select from for each ship is too weak to count - and the selection of ships for the pilot project is way too weak, I seriously hope CCP is looking into how many (few) players even fly ships of those types when checking how popular it is.

In my opinion the player need to be able to select the colour combinations, 2 -3 looks for each ship just isn't making a real difference.

Having the option for selecting different paint patterns (camouflage, speed stripes etc) as well would be great - and remove the only disadvantage I see being able to choose your own colours has vs complete paint jobs, which is that the pattern on the ship would stay the same when just choosing colour, but with a total paint job the artist is completely free in their choices.

The skins are cool insomuch as they add variety.

Not buying any, they aren't the skins I'm looking for.

Content to wait for a real ingame util that allows the pilot to do custom skins.

I'll argue against anything that doesnt fit the eve universe, no matter how "epic" it is.

The skins/colors of the varius corporations already exist, and they look quite good in most cases.

I've gotta say, paying extra to make it look like some drunk Minmatar puked rust onto my Rokh is not exactly an enticing offer.

I recall that the plan, if this test was successful, was for skins to be dropped in via the fitting window...

My youngest watches me roam on my PvP alt. she has requested MY Little Pony skins.

Personally, I think they should add some solid colors to the test. Several here have asked for black, white, ect. Blood red would also look good. I think that would provide a better test result. I have a feeling there are lots of people who would buy skins, just don't care for THESE test skins. (like myself)

I bought a skin for my rokh, but honestly, i dont even have a rokh.....

I know this is a trial and all, but sales of skins would go MUCH better if

A) All ships could be re-skinned
B) You had cool skins (hello kitty, Nuka-cola, etc etc etc)

Bonus C) Just let us upload our own skins already - give us wrapper templates for the hulls, let us color them in, and use em - client side only for now, maybe global database later.


B: Hello kitty isn't cool and I wouldn't like the game to be shitted up by stuff like that.

C: Letting players make their own skins would just result in neon green and pink ships flying around. Way to kill immersion.




The rokh skin also looks terrible.

I like how the approached the ship skin situation. Very nice first release. My test merlin looks like it was pulled out of a junk yard but I'm sure more exciting skins are in the works.

I think the new skins are great and look forward to see how this area develops.
