In many games i've played i've ran accross skinning systems for armor, vehicles, and characters.
A good example would be hellgate london.
I was just wondering what everyones opinion would be on a custom skinning system in EVE for ships.
This could be dictated by corp or by the user. I think personaly it would give more induviuality to the game and would be something to look foward too.
I'm sure it would be a headache for the devs to go throu and change up the files and i dono if eve's current hardware could run it, but im throwing the idea out there.
Even so, i personaly would pay an extra dollar or 2 to be able to do this, and the extra fundage can always go tward updateing the server equipment.
Yes, i used fundage, what my formor boss called it when i worked at VAIX.net as a net admin

Custom designs? No. Custom colours chosen from a predetermined pallet? Yes.
Why? A) Because of the whole 'vulgarity drawn on ships' aspect B) Because some skins are what visually separates ship types such as; tech 1 from tech 2 from navy from pirate. - - - Aloriana Jacques - Skill Sheet

I see ur point, would be odd seeing pink and purple megathrons flying around in swarms.
I guess selling the skins in predetermined fashon that can be socketed in like they did in hellgate would work.

Yea it did, alot of ideas were great in the game. The devs were very interactive with the community. But sadly there wasn't much creativity across the game and was very repeditive as far as lvls and mobs.

An aften repeated wish. I Would like to see eventually, even if it would only be for your own ship ( for those who worry about server lag ). Avatar customisation is a big part of any MMO.
The most realistic approach would probably be a limited fixed color palette with 2 or 3 colors to be chosen and some different masks for each ship ( each ship has 1 fixed mask right now ).
I'd pay good money for a blood red Hurricane......and who knows it could be a good ISK sink.....5% ship base value to NPC corp for a paintjob.

I think it would be awesome to do something like this.
They could call it Fly Colors. And basically your alliance and corp logos and colors would be replicated on your ships. So if you are running a fleet op or something everyone matches. Then have one thats a personal one that the user can customize themselves. Put a logo or something on the side, a flaming sword, a pair of dice, a clenched fist or a giant carebear.
Add Kill Flags on your ship if you are a pvper, just like youd see in the military.
I think people would dig that. I know id love to fly a fire engine red Dominix. Or black with red trim. Its those little things that allow you personalize the game that keep people playing.

I think ccp wantto do this. But it would cause too many problems with lag i would think.
Having to load individual textures on each ship(especially in large fleet fights) would cause lots of lag.
Unless there is away around that, which i cannot see. --------------

It's a cool idea, I like it (with the palette restrictions mentioned above.)
Don't know how much extra strain it would be on TQ.
Would be a another good ISK sink....maybe even unlock exotic, unusual colors for purchase if the pilot has a high enough corp/faction standing?
For simplicity's sake, these "paint jobs" would have to revert to default color when ships are sold on contracts or market.

Maybe if you had a choice to choose from " X " amount of preset patterns and " X " amount of preset colour schemes.
This way you would just need to call eg pattern 54 and colour scheme 12.
No way will people be allowed to design a unique pattern just from themselves. |

Have you any idea how slowly things would run if we were all cutting about in Megathrons that have a naked image of Angelina Jolie as a "skin"? ----------------------------------------------

it can bee few variations of colour themes of each corporation (Quest , standing, isk- dependent). And can be few which you can get by sponsorship of player corporation and ally. Design of the last should be done by corp management.
I do remember Old game Ragnarock- where you buy due for your present equipment - it was expensive and hard to get. but people pay a big money for it. It can be a new way of taking money out from eve.

I think having your corp and/or alliance logo and the name of your ship on the outside of the hull would be pretty cool... and corp or alliance colours would be sweet too!
Not really something thats important though is it?

i remember the devs saying in a blog or a fanfest QA that it would cause to much lag
the only way around it that i can see is to have the custom colors show only for you on your ship only, and other players will just see the standard colors. but thats not a whole lot of fun if you cant show off ___________

why not just let people do it purely client side, (hate to mention it but) in WoW you could use any model/skin for your char just by replacing a single file.
server would not be affected at all.

This gets my vote for the post-Incarna expansion (in the far, far, future when we're fighting aliens for solar dominion) simply because it'd be so ****ing awesome.

I wouldn't allow full paintings and everything (with the exception of putting words or a corporate or alliance logo on the side of your ship). But custom colour schemes, and perhaps some parts you can put on/remove (additional sails on Minmatar ships 'n stuff), yes, that would be cool. -----

Edited by: Vahligmarr on 23/01/2010 12:54:09 if the corp logos would be strictly restricted in size (i.e. 32x32pixel) + all the logos would be loaded when you enter system, there would not be so much lag i would assume.
definately a feature which would be awesome!
+ predefined color pallete for ships to choose would be one more information to load even in big fleets, cant be much lag either. i.e raven/1 means its blue, raven/2 means its green... would such a single information produce so much lag, if the color themes are already on your harddrive.....dont think so.

I'm onboard with corp logos.
The idea of "painting" ships could become a whole separate economy in the game. Other games have done it in the form of ink or dyes you apply.
However, all fluorescent colors should be removed from the pallet. Actually, anything of a "bright" nature should be. EVE is a dark game and I hope it would remain so.

Really you'd only need them loaded when you were on grid since that is the only time you'd have chance to see them on the ship, this would cut down any lag even further. I'd go for corp logos on ships. Might be tricky finding the correct spot on a few ships to place the logo
