With the Galatea update on August 25 we will see a new type of ship SKINs: less bound to traditional factional color schemes, the new designer SKINs can be more daring and bold. The new 'Raata Sunset' SKIN line for Caldari hulls can color your ship fiercely red with elegant stripes of silver-white.

More designer SKINs are already waiting: the blue-golden 'Blue Tiger' for Minmatar and Caldari hulls as well as the 'Valklear Glory' design for Minmatar ships.

Check out CCP Legion's latest blog Designer SKINs to please your eyes for a beautiful preview of our first designer ship SKINs.

Any word on price?

If you price these higher than the normal skins because they're "designer" you'll just be screwing Caldari and Minmatar over again. Please don't do it.

"Available on _race_ hulls"

Just to be clear -- are these SKINs one-ship skins? That is, are we still buying Valklear Glory Typhoon SKIN, Valklear Glory Rifter SKIN, etc, or are we buying a Valklear Glory SKIN that happens to work on Minmatar hulls in general?

These will fall roughly in the middle of our existing price ranges, none of these will be more expensive than what is out there already.

Not yet, but at some point yes :)

The system has not changed, these are all one-ship SKINs.

Thanks! Glad to hear it.

Honestly the red hulls are kinda ugly. However, the Valklear Glory is fairly sharp, I wouldn't spend actually money on them but those skins are not bad.... but where you hit the nail on the head is the Blue Tiger line up. Holy crap that stabber is amazing looking. Those skins were done very well. Shocked

New clothing that looks nice and has good color selection.

Thanks CCP, now I need to buy some more Aurum.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Eh, I've seen far cooler looking designs while browsing SOF in Jeremy. Guess these were given proper QA time, though.

If the prices on SiSi are correct these are significantly more expensive than the other capital skins. 15400 (21600) for the Raata capital bundle compared to 10490 (15510) for the other capital skin bundles.

Also, please make these available for t2 and faction ships instead of just the base t1 hulls. There's a point in the game where outside of capitals you very rarely fly anything that isn't faction or t2 and it would be a shame for these to be limited to t1 hulls only.

Edit: Quoting this from reddit so other people actually see this

The specific SKINs going out on Tuesday are one SKIN per ship. They will be available on all T1 Caldari ships minus the industrials. We were hoping to also release them for T2 hulls but there have been some delays.
The Minmatar SKINs which follow will be available on almost all Minmatar ships.
In the future it is certainly possible to have single SKINs which cover multiple ships, we'll see how that goes. The first example of a multi-ship SKIN this will be the Sansha Alliance tournament reward SKIN which covers all Sansha ships.


Please tell your devs to post useful/important information like this on the official forums as well as unofficial avenues. It's pretty ridiculous that you have to hunt through reddit comments for dev posts to find stuff like this out.

Well, those SKINS have a notorious advantage, since I've been reluctant to fly the corporate colors of corporations which I don't care about or plain dislike (in RP terms).

Being "neutral ground", it's just a matter of whether I like my ship in that scheme or don't. Bear

Sorry you didn't hear about it from here. I just checked the forum now.

I would love a Blue Tiger or Thukker skin for the Loki (pretty much the only ship I'll skin other than a capital, these things are fairly expensive to be buying for an individual ship that will be phased out in 6 months), but I'm thinking the mix of subsystems means they're tougher to skin.

Finally seeing some decent skins coming along. Hoping to see the system allow like hulls allowed to use the same skin (all typhoon hulls for example). Urge to buy... rising... must... fight it.
