CCP thinking would be:

Level 1-100: you can do custom paint. Built in restrictions apply.

What you will give CCP in exchange for custom ship paint? 9999 Aurum?

I'd like to see more skins as the ones in-game are just not worth the AUR at all. Custom or fixed, more skins. Myself, I'm partial to the camo looks in the game, I like the Gecko pattern, I'd like to see that on my ship. Some of the patterns on the minmatar combat drones are pretty cool too.

An alternative could be an out of game ship designer with contests, best skin very now and then finds its way into the game.

They where working on a system that allowed you to create your own skins in game. Kind of the same way you can get crazy with cars in some racing games or planes in warthunder. premade shapes that you choose the color, angle, move it, then place it in layers. I saw a video of it at fanfest a year or two ago.

This is what i expected from the SKIN feature. The first idea of it was awesome, but CCP decided to implement it in the least attractive way. 5-20€ for A SINGLE SKIN. For a texture, which you can make yourself in 5min. What were they smoking when they made the pricing???

10-15 years ago, when modding was allowed and common in gaming, i used to make custom textures. Simple changes, like color changes were done in less than 5min. Nowadays modding is prohibited in most games and you have to pay for even simple cosmetic changes. If EVE were a F2P game, i would understand it, but i already pay 15€ a month for EVE, why do i have to pay 20€ extra for a simple texture?


And yea i know, if you dont like it, dont use it blablabla ...

Also custom skins like they where going to do don't take up much hard drive space. All the data is already on everyone's client. When you would see someone with a custom skin made with premade templates. The game only has to know where to place them and what color to make them. We are talking a few kb in size for the custom layout file.

Stuff you drew in ms paint yourself then ya it would be crazy hence why it would never happen.

My 2 cents:

1. The uptake would be phenomenal at $5 equivalent Aurum.

2. At $5 per skin, CCP could afford to hire people to approve them. It would take what, 20 seconds staff time to approve each? They could even pay per skin approval. Approved skins would be tagged to the approver, allowing CCP to investigate if the skin is subsequently reported as offensive.

3. This would significantly affect the game aesthetic. My pink and lilac 'Meow' PvP Golem might break the feel of the universe.

Similar things happened in other games that allowed custom skins/colorings...

my guild leader at one point on EverQuest was a purple troll we nicknamed Barney the Hood Ornament

another guild I was in had a dwarf that looked the color of Mt Dew

bubblegum pink ogres...


That said I'd love it if I could just paint all my ships a solid matte black Cool

It would be nice to simply just paint our wagons.

hm....define alot.....

depends on how.....versatile the skin is.

if its just 1 skin for 1 ship, using a "preset" pallet of designs(that can be moved around like shown in the video) and colors.
then probably $20-30. (just cause its Hurricane)

if its 1 skin for 1 ship, using nothing more than an uploadable vector design. then at most $30
example: http://i.imgur.com/UMhYDn2.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/XeXNECQ.jpg

if its 1 skin for 1 ship, using a compeltely customizable design (aka i make it in photoshop or paint.net and then upload it into game files. which i'll admit is unlikely)
then around $50 to 60. (i used to make skins for WoT)

if its a full out ship remodel (like making maelstrom look like a hurricane)
$60 - $90

or making abaddon look like Hurricane. $90 (because energy weapon Hurricane)



.......(i think i like hurricane a bit to much......*looks at hangar of 2 fleet hurricanes, a sleipnir, and 5 normal hurricanes* .......whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

Um, isn't there an existing skin already in the game that is essentially this? All the Gallente ships I've flown have it as the default skin.
