Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Wrong board for actual request, may be?
In fact, this is something many hoped to see in Incarna. Welp..

But that idea needn't to be restricted only to personal "assets", you know. Custom station's/gate's designs would greatly enhanced visual attractivness of New Eden. May be even some custom designed monuments in space immortalizing some player choosen achievments..

Of course, we would need to limit this abilities and moderate them strictly. I had some idea concerning that actually.

There could be some service emulating copyright law from real world.
Lets say, there is an ingame/out of game official tool (like constructor, offering set of ellements you can combine in simple GUI - so no need to be an 3D designer) to create some crude model of, say, future new station's design. Than you have to commit it to GM team for moderation and pay some substantional amount of aurum for that in case it accepted. Dev team finishes this model, adding pretty textures and details and you receive and ingame item which you can from that moment sell for an infinite number of times through contracts system (so it's pretty much like PLEX, but will generate you income as long as your design is popular AND as high as its popularity). Someone who bought it from you just adds it to the materials while creating station's egg. And in all other cases same principle applies - clothes, ship paints, accesories, etc. So, CCP gets additional profits for additional efforts and playerbase gets customly created home space in nulls and ability to express themselves in some totally new way ingame.

We could even add some new type of a contract, for the case when that who created a design lacks some IRL funds and needs support of some kind of "producer". So both parties agree on terms and sign a contract specifying how ingame profits will be shared. Then one commits design and the other pays in aurum for "licensing" it.

Someone could create some new clothes for us ladies without having to wait for CCP's designers.
