They're working on it.

Really, I'd like to see universal skins for hull sizes rather than ship class. I happen to think a Wiyrkomi Vexor or Thorax would look pretty awesome. As would a Guristas Talos or a Thukker Tribe Cormorant.
And, some of the less-well-known paintjobs, like Equilibrium of Mankind...

Of course, this requires a painted ship to no longer need being a unique object ID. I'm patient enough to wait for this to get worked out properly before it's expanded. Honestly, I'm kind of happy with what it is, now.

it's kinda like Fed Ex buying and painting up a B2. It's just... odd. Looks great, but... odd.

Fed Ex B2 - for when you have to deliver a package that no one sees coming.

I agree, the Interbus Moros has too much pimp for one ship.

Because you're an enormous attention whore with low self esteem, and you want everyone to think you're cool?

I mean that's why I drive one.

I think that CCP had made a huge improvement to its software/game development method, has enaged the playerbase with real change that breathes new life into the game, and has been making some particularly shiny things. Bravo, CCP... and CCP Seagull!

BUT

Then I saw this monstrosity:
Interbus Moros

I think this must've gotten by the sentries within CCP responsible for lore. What in the nether hells would a faction/corporation devoted primarily to moving around civilians and mass market goods be doing with a dreadnaught... or any other capital ship, for that matter? Patently ridiculous, especially when said faction can't even be bothered to launch a station in its one-and-only system.

Surely CCP could have found a corp within the Gallente Federation of enough interest to players to hock a ship skin. I'm sure loads of folks would pony-up for a capital ship branded by the perennial favourite soft drink maker of New Eden, Quafe...


Moving VIPs is Serious Business. Clearly they had to protect those people with capital grade guns.

Because:
1. a Ford can't take a corner like a Ferrari can.
2. Fords (surprisingly enough) break down more often than Ferraris when used as daily drivers.
3. no Ford, save for the GT40, has ever been anywhere near as pretty as even the ugliest Ferrari.
4. the Ferrari will get you there faster.
5. other drivers tend to stay off your bumper in traffic, because nobody wants to risk hitting a Ferrari.
6. in a Ferrari, you can visibly drool over other pretty cars without drawing ire from their drivers.
7. Priuses don't bother doing everything in their power to pass you and/or cut you off, like they are wont to do to lesser sportscars.
8. It's funny when the overconfident little blighters in modded Hondas clearly think The Fast and The Furious was based on reality and try to race you.

This always makes me giggle.
My dad used to take his 1970 Chevelle SS down to the local track and drag the modded Hondas. He felt it was his duty to educate them in the way of power.

Made me giggle, too, because about 90% of the "modifications" to most crappy Hondas are just a fart cannon muffler tip. The really pro ones will rattlecan the hood flat black to fool people into thinking it's C-F.

Don't be such a Steampunk hater.

In my opinion, every single Gallente ship should be redone in that style.
