Hey Everyone,
The new SKIN system should be available for testing. While there will be an in depth blog going over how everything works, we're looking to see if things seem intuitive, and looking for obvious bugs.
Everything is still at early stages now, but we've seeded some SKINs on the market and look forward to you guys testing it out. More aspects of the feature will be added as we get closer to the release date.
Thanks for reading, and testing things out! |

To reduce confusion, you could make the activation option something like "add SKIN to account".

Quote: When you click Activate SKIN License that consumes the License and makes it available in the fitting window to apply. It will not change your ship automatically. (wording is one of those things we're looking at)

Awesome, works fine now. Even made a gif to show off.
I do see the skin flash in for moment before the skin change effect takes place.

Took the liberty to sticky this post and make it the official feedback thread.
We are also planning a mass test on the 9th of April to make sure the feature performs as expected when there are a lot of ships in a system.
Any feedback and issues are welcome here. Take into account that this is still an early stage of the feature so there are several bits still in development. We just wanted you guys to have access to this as early as possible.

i don't play on the test server but i wanted to talk about delivery in the store. please consider selling skins as packages in addition to selling individual skins
packages could be based on ship class (buy all the megathron skins in one click), colour scheme (buy all the interbus skins) or release (buy all the skins released in the latest wave or patch)
i can see clothing bundles in the shop so i figure you've probably got skin bundles in mind anyway. i can imagine buying a bundle for my favourite ships - i'm a huge sucker for the cosmetics bundles sold in f2p shooter warframe |

We just wanted you guys to have access to this as early as possible. Yes, the Mac client is pooched again (it downloads the initial patch, crashes - then alternates between downloading and updating the launcher when you restart it). And this was with a clean install. Again.
It's to the point where I'm asking myself why I even bother wasting my time trying to offer any assistance when you can't even provide a workable client to test. I was basically unable to test for the last release as well due to the download-on-demand issues with the Mac.
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Hey Arthur, we want to keep this topic related to SKINs only. However once we are back from Easters we will have a new build and we will check into your issues in Mac.

Bundles are definitely a thing we'll be looking at doing, and we will make sure they are thematic and make sense. |

Changing a skin (to one you own) in station resets the zoom level. Very annoying.

Any update on the conversion of skin BPC?
i.e. Will a multiple-run BPC be converted to multiple skin tokens? |

This seems to work well, I haven't found a way to use unlicensed skins, switching in station works although sometimes I've found that the skin reverted when I undock, haven't got a consistent way to reproduce that, you can see other people changing skins in space... all good stuff. I can absolutely confirm that I will buy some skins when this is on TQ; the Duvolle Talos is sexy and I bought quafe vexors ahead of time...
But I have an issue with this: you've included even very rare skins in this program. Even absurdly rare skins, like the Scorpion Ishukone Watch. I know you want people to undock and use these skins but the thing is nobody CARES unless you can destroy them. When the skin's permanent, the killmail is just of another Scorpion and nobody cares about that. Maybe that's too extreme an example for you, how about the Quafe Megathron? Any of the T1 industrial skins? The Mackinaw ORE Development Edition? People are in fact using those. They're taking an absurd risk but that's their choice and everyone is exhilarated when they get an opportunity to kill one. You're taking that away with this system, please at least leave these skins that were never widely distributed as their own types, lost on destruction, specified on killmails and distinguishable on d-scan.
I'm not too bothered about whether I kill a Thrasher or a Thukker Thrasher (although I would be all over any Nefantar Thrasher I find), but at least keep the rare skins as special snowflakes that we can lovingly crush. |

Multi run BPCs still require manufacturing to apply so I assume that this aspect has not been added/addressed. Hopefully CCP will simply split the BPCs into individual licenses, this should make it easier to track.
Regarding existing paint jobs: Sitting in a Aliastra Hyperion I can pull up the window up for the Licenses but nothing shows for licensed and unlicensed SKINS for the Hyperion. I get the same when I change to my Nugoeihuvi Rokh: nothing shows for licensed or unlicensed skins and there is no option to change the skin.
Since the info on the ship still shows it as a blue print on top of the rokh, I assume this aspect of the old paint jobs feature has not been updated?
Edit to add: when I am in a ship that has not had a paint job applied to it, the Licensed and unlicensed SKINs show up. |

I like that there is a shortcut to pull up market details for the unlicensed SKINs. However, the market does not pull up when clicked the ISK symbol is clicked.
The Aurum symbol pulls up the NES window, but it defaults to the Tash-Murkon omen edition - likely because the skins are missing from the NES. |

While on the subject of bundles, would it be doable to enable multiple skin licence activations by drag select and activate. I just learned the licences on test and doing it one licence at a time for all 100+ of them was slightly laborious. |

The Orca skin is green instead of yellow and looks kinda odd. Maybe it is working as intended otherwise hope its useful feedback. |

Activating a skin licence you already have brings up an error message to tell you you already have it but then still consumes the licence anyway.

Love the idea of skins.
But please dial back the use of the dirt,
Jumped into my beloved atron, switched to the yellow and holy crap what a pig.
I would be ashamed to fly something that dirty, let alone pay for the paint job.
Is there a way that you could make the dirt mechanic optional?

For existing paint jobs, CCP might want to do this: for every ship with a paint job the ship is reverted to the original hull and a corresponding SKINs license is created. This way, people with multiple's of one type of painted ship can at least trade the extra licenses which they had paid for.
I would also suggest that for paint job BPCs with multiple runs, the BPC is broken into individual licenses corresponding to the number of remaining runs. |

I also noticed that the yellow Atron looked exceptionally dirty.
Other than that , once I figured out where the interface was located, all went well. I had no issues and the skins look nice. Well done.

Bug.
If you already have a skin activated, and you activate a new copy, you get a warning that you already have the skin active, but it still consumes the skin.
Clarity issue.
I've been staring at this for 10 minutes, looked at the gifs.. I still don't know how to change the skin of the ship.
Yaay!!!!
