There should be an in game skill path that unlocks SKIN design as a viable career path! Let's not make it as simple as it just being a skill path to follow. Integrate it with the community. You unlock the skill path, and you can use a "Skin Designer". You have to pay a certain amount of ISK to enter it into a Tournament style ranking. At the end of each month the character that comes out on top gets their Skin featured on Eve, and a % of sale is given to the artist as royalty. And the artist is given a full set of that SKIN permanent. Then, at the end of the year there is a SKIN of the year award. Maybe a special recognition on the forums as well as permanent integration into the game. (Also let's not limit ourselves here, there SHOULD be more then one person who wins monthly.)

You could even have it where each Corp pays a certain amount of ISK and can use a SKIN made special for the Corp. Just a thought of something that could be fresh and interesting to the community as a whole.

Instead of another SP sink... How about a SKIN design module where we can change the primary and secondary hull colors, ship running lights and exhaust trails? Limited the color palettes such that we can't get to bizarre with our creations and preserve the unique Designer SKINs that are starting to be introduced.

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

Just some sort of unique addition. Even being able to add your Corp Insignia would be nice even. Everything is so industrial, and not for not it get's boring to stare at gray and brown all day.

I am with you there. This does not need to be an SP sink. Heck, why not ask for Clothing Designer as a skill in addition to SKINs design?

What the game needs is UI that allows players to design their own SKINs. It does not need to be a skill.

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

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.

I can concede that it shouldn't be an SP sink. Didn't even think of a clothing designer.

But if you made your own clothes and own skins, how would EACCP make all its side cash?

The Law is a point of View

The NPE IS a big deal
