Pod skins

For anyone with a pod skin like the one they gave out for the Eve anniversary I've noticed something that bugs me. Like a ship every time you enter the ship you have to select or equip the skin. For a ship that's not really an issue. But when is someone going to see your pod?... Yea right after you blow up. You wont have any skin at all on, and it's not like your going to sit around the battlefield to equip it before warping off. lol And the point of the skins is to show off.. I'm mean otherwise whats the point. I understand that at ranges you dont see other pod skins but undock and your friends will see it. Also

So what I'd like to see is a default selection for at least the pods (not a bad idea for ships either) so when you get in a selected ship or pod from ejection, your default skin is selected. This seems like a great idea and a simple one to implement by ccp. Anybody that agree's with this please post with comments and maybe ccp will take notice of this thread.

Added note: I would love it if the skins appeared on the KM's as well. No there's no real point other than to say hay, that's neat.

Your glasses force me to give your idea an auto -1 out of princible

My honest opinion is I find dev time spent into such a small thing is a waste

I got the palantine pod; next time I get podded.. I'll be like.. sorry guys.. I was changing my skin that's why I died.. Like seriously? Especially when it's one of the 'points' of the 1 year sub (was) this should be fixed and I'm pretty sure remembering persistantly a skin on a ship shouldn't be a major break thru in coding technology..

you'd think each pod would have the same persistent settings that ships do. If you have the SKIN selected on the pod, if your ship dies, it's still active. If you get podded, you need to re-select the SKIN. Simple enough. Should take too much time away from devs that would affect bigger plans. The little things matter too. +1

also Lugh Crow, your negative attitude is probably what hinders CCP's development ;)

Wow! I did not know that Lugh Crow-Slave was so influential!

I wish I had that kind of influence around here...

CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

As to the OP... +1, fix it, but only when they have time. I see it as a "Little Thing".

It was a waste to spend dev time on making those pod skins in the first place, but since they are already here, CCP should've bothered to implement them properly

Workarounds are not bugfixes.
