While typing Golden and searching for items in game, I came upon a bunch of skin I never saw before named 'golden' skin
Dominix Golden SKIN (Permanent)
Ishtar Golden SKIN (Permanent)
Tornado Golden SKIN (Permanent)
Vagabond Golden SKIN (Permanent)

Anyone know something about those skins ? Didn't saw them on the market.

Domi is quite pretty sexy, I want to die in this bling bling ship...

They are the skins the Chinese server has.

Tis a crying shame. Seems all the good stuff goes to secondary servers while the flagship server only get's sub par items.

Ugh

Ok we know about the Chinese and their attitude to gold, right?
In the past you could lose your head for wearing it and not being royalty, now every idiot wants to slather himself in it.
Of course Serenity is going to have gold skins big deal.

Edit: i'd prefer a silver skin on a couple of ships, cooler and cleaner look. These skins are only desirable because you can't have em.

Goggles. Making me look good. Making you look good.

No we want the skins.. because the options we have now looks like *BIB* poo.. if you take the typhoon as an exsample..

colour options

rust (original)
Poo
grey/blue
blue/yellow
yellow/grey
and the +14bill skin (the only good looking skin)

being colourblind seems to be the only option to enjoy the skins that CCP offers for the main server players..

I had golden astero before CCP removed this feature.

I can understand why they removed the feature given people were reporting skin bugs, but I'd love it if they stopped making skins ship specific and instead made them tied to a racial line.
So you could use a police skin on any Gallente ship for example. Or a Blood raiders skin on any Amarr, BR or Minmatar ships.
That still keeps the skins somewhat restricted while allowing people to enjoy them a lot more, and making it much easier to make a themed fleet.

Additionally I'd love it if they made any lore based skins available as time limited LP stores & drops, while vanity skins (Like the gold skin) become the NES skins. I'm sure a lot of people would pay for vanity skins that can go on a large range of ships and the turn over on time limited racial skins would also be pretty big if people felt they could use them on most ships they fly.
