EVE General Discussion

The current iteration of ship skinning is a test to see how much interest there is and if there's a point in developing it further. The current mechanic for it (BPC) isn't here to stay either and will be replaced eventually.
At FanFest the art team showed off an awesome tech demo for custom ship skins.

You would have known all this had you taken a few minutes to research the subject instead of blatantly coming to the forums to complain like an entitled little brat.

I quite honestly believe that expecting people to read between any lines at all on the internet is ****. You either say what you want to say or you don't.

and there is the problem: being in full support of ship skin customization i personally have no interest in few predefined skins they made "for test". For the start i don't fly these ships Since they were added i haven't buy and used one skin(!!!). So from CCP's POV i don't support the main idea.

I'm pretty sure either people just start to buy and use these boring skins "to show support" spending our money for nothing or CCP will say "well... noone wants custom skins"

Dress up space barbies just aren't enough for you people, are they?

I'd like to customise some of my ships, not keen on the variants used in this initial trial so haven't bought any.
Does this mean that I don't support ship skins so dev time should be cancelled -or- does it mean that dev time should be invested to deliver a workable UI for the version the Art panel showed?

For me, LP all the way, there should be an in game sandbox link to everything we fly, whatever the skin is.
Also very interested in alliance themes for ships, as with medals, this should cost lots of isk to set up so may help persuade people to drop Plex for them.

He's right though, so you'd do well to listen and apply. You can tell me where to go all you want, but I can tell you likewise, because you are still wrong :D

omfg I would knock you the **** out IRL. I can almost smell how small-geek you are through my computer. You right though. OP should just admit it and move on.

Well your first problem is assuming that I have any qualms about spending a lot of my free time here. I have a passion for EVE and its community. The moment I get some decent free time you can bet I'll get some tickets out to meet some of the former corp mates and/or current ones. And when I can leave my current job without pulling the plug on it by my leaving I could realistically see working at CCP Games (the current job situation being the reason I'm probably not already working alongside guys like Falcon, Rise and Fozzie).

I like EVE players more than most others because we're as a whole more intellectual than other games communities and certainly more than the general public. Makes for good conversation, and we all do at least share one thing in common :P I will admit, however, that we're not infallible in that regard and still have a few retards here and there, but hey, it's the internet.

Which leads right into the second point. There's a reason that people drop the ball on sarcasm all the time on the internet. Text can't convey tone. Unless there's some deep intellectual discussion or other such context going on that would encourage reading between the lines we have no reason to do so. Nearly everything else will be taken at face value. Telling someone to read between the lines to get them off your back is a weak and lazy way of trying to imply that you totally meant what we were all talking about in the first place because you meant something completely different that'd make you more wrong than you care to admit to.

And you spending more time on the forums isn't what we care about here. It's about using them properly. Being uniformed isn't your fault unless you choose to remain that way. To your credit you made a thread that did have an overall effect of educating you on the bits you were missing, but you made the VERY bad move of forming conclusions and making demands based on your partially-uneducated opinion.

We don't care if you're on the forums once a day, once a week or once a month, if you start making conclusions about things you don't know about we'll tear you a new one regardless. If you ask us about the things that have been discussed since your last visit we'll gladly point you to the places where the new stuff can be found. If you want to make a conclusion anyway, at least preface it with your not being completely sure about details that would otherwise sway your opinion.

Take the pride down a notch and we'll all be happy.

And now that we have all of that out of the way and since I don't think anyone else has linked it yet, here's this: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/ship-painting-pilot-program/

P.S. I admit I forgot about the fact that this should have been pointed to the Test Server area like Cypherous pointed out. So you get brownie points for accepting that particular feedback.

Just understand though that when you're quick to jump on making demands on how things should be done or to making bad conclusions about things that have already been dismissed because of information you lack, we'll be just a quick to jump on you about it, which is why the first several answers are asking you to calm the **** down about something you don't know about. People like you are why the Magic Crystal Ball exists as a game item :P

heh I think you're a little late to the party there mate.

Well since topics can't be "deleted" and only closed off I suggest you as the author of the thread go and edit the topic to indicate that all was solved and that future reads need not have anything to worry about.

Then report your own post for closing by an ISD using the little flaggy icon next to the timestamp.
