You're making new ship skins available for different ships, would it be possible to get some new skins for T2 ships? Perhaps Creodron for the Kronos, Ishukone for the Golem, etc.. ? But a good Ishukone skin, something more like the Rhea, not like the Harpy... -_- Harpy has too much gold and not enough black.

They are ships that use 3d models and textures. I'm pretty sure that's yes. As to when, who knows.

On a side note the Ishukone colors are black and yellow, not gold. Don't you dare change my Harpy, I make profuse love to mine in honor of its tanking abilities.

What is currently available in terms of ship skins is merely a pilot program that CCP is using to carefully test out the waters and to give them the necessary info to decide whether or not it's viable to spend a lot of resources developing a completely new tool to paint ships.

However, as you can see in this video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cu1sg5pD5w , they are trying some stuff out.
And as such, if it does become a full feature, then yes, you will be able to paint T2 ships, along with any other ship in the game.

Their pilot program has been "meh" so far, painting stuff that would just appeal to a few people -_- And it would be foolish not to pursue customizing our ships more, because I don't think anyone in the history of EVE would be against this idea...

See the post above, it is getting pursued more.

If I had to guess why they are so slow at releasing skins I would guess that it is because of two things. First they want to give *new* customization content regularly up until they change the system completely. Second, by releasing the skins slowly in batches it allows for each batch to get maximum hype for maximum sales. I believe their original reason for not wanting T2 skins yet was because they want T2 ships to have visually distinct models first. Although they may have scrapped that idea if the Condor/Crow/Raptor line is anything to go by.
