So judging by the increasing number of pay for skins coming out can we conclude that the free-form painting system that CCP Seagull showed at Fanfest two years ago is dead in the water?

Shame really, I would prefer being able to customize things rather than get nickel and dimed to death if I want something beside the vanilla ships.

It was all the female players saying they were going to paint up their ships ala Hello Kitty.

Icelanders can't abide Hello Kitty; it is the kiss of death to them.

Will the Minmitar Sebiestor and Krusual skins return to their original color scheme in Galatea? The most expensive Minmitar skin turned green when the rust was added!

I feel younger,

this caracoid reminds me the shape and color of Eva 002 from Evangelion

Like a space evolution of her features.

Now I feel a need for the red plug-suit for myself

Skins

• Raata Sunset, Caldari in red it's ok for me.
• Valklear Glory, i think it's look like a bit too much an ORE skin.
• Blue Tiger, finally some blue to Minmatar and Caldari ships.

Industrial Outfits

• Hephaestus Industrial Outfits, the red/white look good but the others need less white on each white placeholders.

What’s next

Can be good to have ;

• Tash-Murkon skins for ALL t1 Amarr ships.
• A golden skin to make the raven look like the old Golem.

I'm sorry but they said soooo many times that they 'wanted to give us these controls' to 'see what we come up with' and 'give that freedom to the players' and so on.
Every fanfest they say this! They showed us awesome tech demos ... and now what do we get?? ... they changed the basemap on some caldari ships from grey to red? Then all the rest of the skins are basically silver and blue (intaki, kador, eom, quafe, sanctuary and so on ...)

Kind of a joke. Homeworld had a custom skin system which included , stripes, basecolor and a logo. ANY logo you wanted. and that was in the early 2000s.

So disappointed by the half-assed SKIN system. So much potential. So much possibilities to make it a rich gameplay feature by involving exploration , industry and PI. Making people collect and mix pigments, create / find skin patterns, perfect them and sell them... And all we got is a 'BUY' button. It is so out of the sandbox that its not even funny.

Exactly what I'm thinking about whole SKIN system. They not made by players. It's good there are corporation skins with corp logos made by devs, but I want to paint hulls my way. I want caldari colours stratios with navy camo. This what I called custom skin. I understand there are money in whole system to be made, it's business after all, but can we divide ingame corporations skins from player made ones? No matter how you called new skins line, designers or not, players have zero impact how they look.

Good luck with that, I've been waiitng the release of a dress since April 2011...

Yusss. I believe in you, Peter.

Is there a chance you might use vanity item sales to build up a real money tournament prize pool? Items that are only available for real money directly (not AUR), and have to be redeemed directly to a character, never reaching the in-game market.

?

No T3 ships are getting SKINs at the moment. But everything else you mentioned should have them yes.


We're basically waiting on tech for that sort of stuff. The art requirements of the new structures do have a bit to do with the delays.


As far as I know, and don't quote me, they are being fixed up a bit in the next patch. I haven't checked but you should be able to see if they've changed or not on sisi.
