EVE General Discussion

o/

Now, I've read the blog - https://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/a-glimpse-into-the-future-of-ship-skins/ and have (only) listened to the Fanfest Ship Skin presentation today, yet I still have one question that many of you are probably going to be asking very soon.

Question is: Is it enough to have, let's say, an Omen Kador Edition to "own" the Kador skin - Would you be able to apply it to a stock Abaddon, without actually having owned the Abaddon Kador Edition?

I've missed watching the part on Ship Skins today, can anyone clue/provide the link where it is stored on CCP's twich channel?

I think it was during Game Design Panel.

1) Ship SKINs start at 6:30:00
2) New proposed Player Structures follow the above presentation and lasts till 7:05:00.

For my thoughts on the Structure Project - https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5594259#post5594259 & https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5594265#post5594265

Yeah, that's how I understood it too. In your example, you'd need the "Kador" license for both the Omen Hull and the Abaddon hull.

The skin isn't tied to the hull. You buy a license for it. You can then apply that skin to every one of those hulls you ever have.

Wasn't it something along the lines of "You buy the "skin" you have it forever attached to your character. Any time you fly a ship that can use that skin you have the option of turning it on in the fitting screen.

So if I buy the Kador skin I can use it for my Omen, Apocalypse, Punisher. But not my Dominix. If any of those ships are destroyed I do not lose anything. I just turn it on again with the next ship I buy.

Yes to the first part.

No to the second part based on what was shown. It's a hull skin, not a faction skin.

I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I got out of it.

Actually, the devs previously indicated there would be two types of skins: Ones for individual hulls and ones that could be applied across different hulls of the same race. How many of the 'multi-hull' skins will be released and the cost difference is anyone's guess at this point.


Yes, CCP Seagull specifically addressed this - as long as you have either the ship or the BPC it will be convertible to a license.

Cheerio.

I just started watching the presentation, but if that's the case, then.... I'm a happy camper. Heh-heh.

They're skinning ships at Fanfest?? I knew things got a bit wild but....ew. That's horrible!

Yes.

I can confirm what Arthur said about BPCs & their conversion when it all goes live.

However, following the Ship SKINs part on that Stream, there is a most excellent presentation of ambitious-proposed new structures for EVE Online. Structures, which in due time would replace the current POSes, that could become anchorable _ANYWHERE_ in the system, not just moons or planets!

This structures' project could revitalise EVE beyond wildest imagination: the true player content in our sandbox would be at hand with +positive+ health dynamics for the whole Universe.

I would like to enter any system and see 20 - that's twenty - 20 player-owned stations/offices/hubs all around the system with warpable beacons to them! Wouldn't be any different than the same number of POSes said system could contain, albeit all hidden behind moons.

Of course, whether to make these stations accessible to the Public is the owners' prerogative, but the fact that they would be there... Bring a tear to my eye.

P.S. I'd charge transaction tax on mine, though.

Shrug, people want to look at pretty. Otherwise you just have stats shooting other stats; back to the text-based era.

They'll probably make more money selling ship colors than from Valkyrie or other side games. The skins are character-bound, rather than account, so there's definitely multiple purchasing of the same skin.
