hello all.. i came up with a fun idea that i wonder if the programmers can create. Its similar to the festival launchers. Paint ball launchers. Different colors of paint.... shoot your corpmates and paint your ship. Cleanable in station. :)

You figure we already have Impact damage textures for armor, so why not have paint impacts and splatter? This is a great idea :)

Could see this being fun for the "Hugs Fleets" too.

(How many of the painted would bother cleaning their ships?)

Give drones cans of spray paint and have them graffiti all over the ships.

Do that and it would imply we could paint ships instead of having to skin them. How much aurum for a bucket of paint?

And if we could paint ships we don't need no skins.

Go glamouflage up some new bros who haven't found the "clean ship" button yet.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

The ability to spray paint phallic images on sieged Rorqs is important for the health of the game.

LOL I'd love to kill time while mining by squirting paint over the ugly blue accents.

On a more practical note, there should be a 'combat paint' variant that increases sig size of whatever you hit. That'd be fun.

Edit: You could bundle cleaning with repair. You could also make a 'paint-resistant' variant of SKINs to prevent people from spraying poop emojis over your hull.

'Combat Paint' already exists. It's called a Target Painter.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.
