Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

8. Use of profanity is prohibited.

The use of profanity is prohibited on the EVE Online forums. This includes the partial masking of letters using numbers or alternate symbols, and any attempts at bypassing the profanity filter.

27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster.

Oh an people: Please don't feed the trolls....

1. If you are thinking about checking Eve out stop immediately and go watch pinktube.
2. If you already have trial going let it lapse.
3. If you already subbed let it lapse, snort some coke if you need to get over loss of money.
4. If you are coked up and feel like you really want to play just sniff something off of toilet seat in nearest club.
5. If during point 3 or 4 you got robbed, molested and/or ended up in jail keep in mind that at least you didn't make really terrible mistake of playing Eve.

Believe me, I used to be addicted to online casinos. I wish I stuck with them...

I feel like this bleeds through to something I posted in another thread, about rocks, sand, and water. Basically, my advice is don't let EVE become the rocks, otherwise you'll find yourself making threads about client drops, and that screams "I care too much about a game."

but being here is ok. so is attending fanfest, that's not weird.

Help, I can't download EVE

For noobs?

1. as soon as you log in everyone in the galaxy is out to get you.
2. Join eve university. They will teach you the game
3. if you want to pvp join red vs blue.
4. make sure you have more brains than the other guy.
5. Shiney ship doesnt always mean best ship.
6. Also you can have a giant empire but lose it all in a day. nothing is forever in eve it's always changing.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.
