ship skins are pretty fair in prices. People keep moaning about 40$ skin prices over and over and over like it's incarna all over again. No it isn't involving leaving your ship, just because it's vanity doesn't mean it wrecks your EVE online.

To top this all off "only super skins are that high".... Regular ship skins only cost a few dollars, so stop taking the price from 4 skins out of 100 and spouting like they are all priced 40$. It's dumb, and I'm pretty sure CCP doesn't apreciate a bunch of lying complaints on their forums. Get it right before you complain.

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

The Skin system is in a really early stage of release. People can give feedback however they want. They are more than entitled to say what they think, and if that makes other people upset that's their problem. Some like the pricing scheme, others don't - it's not the end of the world if there's a debate over it. Devs have indicated they are listening to player comments and nothing is set in stone. So stop whining about other people whining, it's not constructive.

I do believe part of his issue is the mischaracterization of the prices, as if they were all $40, which provides noise rather than usable feedback, which drowns out actual usable feedback, positive or negative.

Im ok with the idea of single ship skins, but at standardized prices.

I see no reason why any one skin should cost more than the other, furthermore even if it is a titan, 30 $ is a lot of money, maybe something to the effect of a few bucks for something small like a frig, all the way up to 20 maybe for a titan, scaling up as you go up in ship class, but locking the "cool skins" behind a higher premium is a sure way to fail imo.

Cross race skins would also greatly increse thier appeal as a whole.

I'm somewhat ok with say maybe a higher price point limited time only kinda deal, if they want to get thier 30-40 price point, that may even make sense from a collectors standpoint. This would work well as a once or twice a year, this 2 weeks only kind of thing.
