I would like to see more flare on the purchasable ship skins, preferably in the form of logo's/sponsors/developers, similar to the Quafe Megathron or the stock Stratios.

Currently the new skins are, for the most part, very bland; They change sections of the ships coloration but otherwise give no indication as to what faction the skin represents.

As a 'traditional mmo player' and a lover of all things eye candy, I urge CCP to give this some consideration.

I hope to hear others thoughts on this.

Agreed, the current skins don't make me want to crack open my wallet.

Every Skin, unless bugged like some of the new T2 ship skins, come with the respective NPC corp's logo they represent. On that note, Sarum Family ships, for instance, would lose a lot of their regal appeal if their hulls were cluttered with other corporations' logos.

This is something players can and should be able to add to their own skin designs once CCP gets to make this work and can rip off players with 100k AUR payments for a frigate skin design license.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

I love the look of some of the ship skins - mostly the ones that add interesting color patterns to the ships. Ones that turn ships merely a different shade of grey or brown do not do a whole lot for me.

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