Reply from CCP is useful, but what does this mean for assets in 'shared' locations? Corp hangars etc.

Do I need to move painted assets out of Wspace into stations for the time limited licenses to apply to specific characters?

Well, coloring just your outer layers should be cheap, real artworks should be worth many ISKs.

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

Sounds good but sell iit for isk!

And one question about golden pods - if you changing PAINTs to SKILLS maybe it will be much better to remove AURORA implant as a item and just ti give a 'LICENSE' to all pilots who have aurora imp?

What about Miasmos variations ?

It looks like Amastris, Quafe Ultra and Quafe Ultramarine editions have been forgotten: I still have a Miasmos Quafe Ultra in my hangar, did not get any associated skin, and we can see these three ships in the "variations" tab of the Miasmos as before.

Is it planned to release them as skins as well at some point?

All my skins that were in my Corporate Hanger Array are now gone and were not redeemable. Anyone else having this problem?

Ships in EVE should remain destructable. This is not a good development.

You cannot compare ship colors with character apparel, because the apparel is not used when flying ships. In-station Captain's Quarters is another game than the spaceship game EVE. If we one day were to get actual Walk-In-Stations, we would not be able to kill each other and steal/destroy each others clothes either (due to the tea spoon principle). But ships can and should be destructable.

Next will come licenses to modules that are indestructable as well and that you buy in the NES.




Ships are still destructable.

The only thing you don't lose, is the option to make your ship look different (for no more isk)

It's /exactly/ like clothes. It just changes the appearance of a ship that you acquired in the regular fashion.



Risk vs reward? How could u even agree upon such a stuppid idea such as this? This is just lame and stupid. U know there are gatherers in eve? now there ships lost alot of isk in valeu and for us who like to chare, i cannot now any longer see the Naglfar Justice i brought in, in the hands of my corpmates. This is just ****** up and u did agree to this?

How does CCP interpret the incredibly low isk prices of ship skins to date?

Obviously people don't merely buy skins with RW cash to deck out their ships but in the same spirit as PLEX they are looking for value and to make in game isk.
With the current model i don't see the appeal of purchasing ship skins with real money. I do hope something will be done to see to it that folks who have bought skins in the store to trade can have faith in their purchase.

Like everyone else I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this recent "glitch" is a peek into a future of good things to come.

If you're talking about the skins available before the change:

It'll be because of a massive glut. Because the price used to be substantially lower.

Well its nice to see the complete lack of dev responses past the first day or two of this thread eventually killed it like the rest of the feedback about new not quite thought out features.

1) It really should have been a module slot or a new rig slot, so you could switch it out when you didn't want it or change SKINs on a ship without it being all gimicky.

2) Now that it has been some time, it would be interesting to see a chart or something dealing with has anyone actually purchased some of those $30-40 frigate skins?
