I got that skin working on a Vindicator, without the corp-logo problems your Kronos has and it is absolutely incredible!

Edit:
Also, have you seen how great the Guristas SKIN goes with the rust effects on Minmatar ships?

I really dont understand any lore reasons, too. As many people have already said, if I, as a semi-god capsuleer whatever-uber-being want to paint my ship in Guristas colours, I should be able to. There are so many pirates around, that are being actively hunted by CONCORD, can barely enter highsec without getting shot at but they-¦re not allowed to change the appearance of their ship? Even though the NPC pirates do it?
So I would defiantely want to be able to paint every ship in every factions colours.
The amount of SKIN items that would have to be created would be absolutely crazy though. We-¦d need SKIN licenses like "Guristas colour scheme for frigate sized hulls"
And for your viewing pleasure, take this Guristas Orca: http://imgur.com/cPQi1c7

I am afraid, your comparison is not working.
If you set everybody at maxlvl in a themepark game, you-¦re effectively removing all the content they could-¦ve enjoyed while leveling up.
This glitch however is ADDING a ton of content, in the form of hundrets or thousands of ship/skin pairings. Of course, not everybody is interested in this kind of content, but we did definately not lose anything. The only moment we will lose something is in the moment this glitch gets fixed.
So, of course the glitch has to be fixed.
But we-¦ve now seen and enjoyed how the SKIN system should actually work. We saw all the possibilities and we want to have them!
Also, have some more Guristas awesomeness:

Moac Tor wrote:The business model is also perfectly reasonable, with many of the skins priced at under $10, and some for as little as $3.50 for a permanent skin.
A single SKIN for a single ship for 10$...there are thousands of those combinations, do you expect people will be willing to pay between 3.5$ and 10$ for EACH of those?

What do you want to see, and what price is the most you'd be willing to pay? Imagine everything conceivable is on the table.
What I want is a choice. Just imagine: yesterday I was feeling all piraty, so I slapped the Guristas SKIN on and went out shooting people in the face. Today, I felt like tryharding it, so I put the Police SKIN on, named my ship WoopWoop and went out telling people "to step out of their ship". Who knows, tomorrow I might feel fancy and take out something Quafe.
My point is, EVE is all about doing whatever the hell I want and often I dont really know what kind of ship I want to fly before I pick one semi-random from those I have in my hangar and that just fits my mood. If I would have to buy a special SKIN for all the different ships I own, I would go broke FAST. I would just not buy any, because it-¦s not worth it; I just change my ships way too often.
BUT...if I could buy a Police license that I could slap onto every ship I like...please take all my money. 2 PLEX? 7k AUR? Yeah, I would pay that probably. Guristas license? Take another 2 PLEX.
Maybe split it up a bit, into a Capital license and a non-capital license for example and make the all-in-one option a bit cheaper (4k/4k).

Just that guarantee from yourself would just restore a bit of confidence in the current system so that people will continue to buy. Right now everyone is holding off making purchases due to the fact that things are up in the air.
I'm not asking for full details obviously.
I am pretty sure, if CCP would change al existing Quafe SKINs into licenses that you could put onto any ship, everyone that invested into them will make huge bank.
I know I would pay 2bil for such a license.
Edit: Unless you invested into Qafe Megas after the patch. Those thing have become damn expensive

Six months from now, you won't get a Qafe Vexor for that, let alone one of the battleships. They'll be in the 5 to 15b range depending on the model. No, CCP. Don't even think about touching unique ship skins. Or introducing color schemes close to them on the Tristan, Catalyst, Vexor, Dominix and Megathron. Mr Epeen
So when they change the SKINs into proper and actually useful licenses, what do you think you would THEN get for your stockpile? They could keep adding them from time to time, for example every fanfest in some kind of promotion, and they would still be incrredibly valuable just BECAUSE they-¦re so useful.

I can go out tomorrow and buy a BMW, and paint it like a Shelby Mustang. Would ford rather I didn't? Ya, but the ship is Mine, so too bad.
Using Lore as an excuse for not allowing us to paint our ships how we want, except outside of "Navy" colour schemes, is just silly. If you want to go that far, then you'd best also make sure that you can't use any ships in FW except for your faction. That Faction mods only fit on that factions ships. That if your Minm you can't run missions for the Amarr. Etc.
It's silly. If you don't like it, turn skins off. NPC's can stick to the Lore, leave us players to decide ourselves how we want out ships to look. Now if it means that we don't get the Logo on the side, so be it. Though I for one want a Quafe Logo on the side of my Paladin. And a Wiyrkomi logo on my Orca. It's more like a BMW with a FORD logo on it. The best option, would be to just give colors per texture map, like : in () goes the Khanid exemple 1- for Hull 1 (black) 2- for Hull 2 (silverish) 3- for Light Color (blue) Whatever, CCP has made its decision. If you want to see our game with multicolor hulls everywhere and throw away any sense at all, go for it !
Would it have any effect on you if I put a BMW logo on my 20 years old Volkswagen? Or if I change my Porsche logo for that of a Lada?
