Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised.

How will existing skin BPs/skinned ship variants be converted to the new SKIN licensing? Or will they just be left in legacy-style until all used up?

I hope so. I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to expand the fitting window.

There's also a bit of a lag between when you click on a SKIN and when it gets applied or removed (I can confirm the 'blink' before the animation kicks-in as well). Without any corresponding sound or feedback, it gives the impression nothing is happening - which can lead to multiple click attempts.

I suspect that the flash or blink we end up seeing is when the SKIN itself is applied. They might use that to their advantage if it does not cause serious issues by shortening the time between the application and the transition. Then it will look more natural and part of the transition itself.

CCP could add a cool down timer SKINs when undocked. That way you don't end up with a gate camp or large fleet spamming SKINs to produce graphical lag on their targets.

And the Lai Dai Chimera... very cool.

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

A preview mode for the skins would be great, like just make the skins themselves clickable just like current ships are in the market and when you show info on them, except of course, with the according skin applied to the ship in question.

Also, is there a plan to make hull variations (navy issue, T2) compatible to a skin bought for the base model ship? (and vice versa, like for the exhumer skins?)

My Naglfar Justice Edition is still a Naglfar Justice Edition on Sisi. I can't even use a SKIN on it somehow to switch between the normal Naglfar skin and the Justice Edition, it's stuck that way.

It does not appear that they have changed the old paint jobs over to the new SKINs as of yet. No word as to when at present (unless I am being selectively blind).


Edit to add: the Roden paint job for the Talos is juicy.

Out of curiosity... what would you define as overpriced?

Kerr effect is an actual thing. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerr_effect So super kerr is proper.

No plan at this time, technically possible, we have just not thought much about the T2 ships yet

The skin only works on the base Naglfar ship, that is to be expected. Your Neglfar, assuming you have it come release, will be converted to a normal one and you will be given a skin.

There are some previews in the game for T2 Marauder BPCs. Will these be released as skins in the April update? (ie: Golem Guristas/Kaalakiota/Nugoeihuvi, Kronos Police/Quafe/Inner Zone, Paladin Blood Raider/Kador/Tash-Murkon, Vargur Justice/Krusual/Nefantar).

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

just an idea: some skins of the t3 destroyers should change color when the mode changes :P

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Is there any reason that the Rattlesnake Victory Edition didn't get the SKIN treatment? All it is is a skinned Rattlesnake. I would really love to PvP in a Victory Skinned Rattlesnake without losing the skin when the ship goes pop.
