I would love to see this as a permanent feature with some slight modifications. It should only apply to each hull size category not any hull you want. Second each skin should cost at least $20

I'd also like to add something else to my point from lastnight when I replied to CCP Darwin.
How is painting a ship with different skins, any more "Lore" breaking than my Gal Character using Caldari Navy ships? With Minmatar Navy Modules? To fight for the Sansha against the Amarr? It isn't.
For the people that need to live by the Lore, the Roll-Players and such, they can just not use the skins.. Done.. For those like me, who see the Lore as much more open, or others who just don't care, it gives us so many more options.
Lore should not be an excuse to limit the players without a damn good reason. There are good reasons why we can't use Jove ships and weapons. There's no good reason you can give why we can't dock at Jita 4-4, give some people there some isk, and have them put a crew together to paint our ships :p Now piratical reasons for why we can't just do Custom skins, I get that. But why I can't give my Paladin a Quafe paintjob, or paint my Vindicator Khanid.. restrictions like this are artificial, and I don't just mean the "system" can handle it, but I also mean it has no more impact on the game than the fact that anyone from any empire can fly any empires Navy ships, or use their Navy modules, or fight for their Faction Warfare, etc..
The response to this bug has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone loves the ability to use their skins on anything they want. while some skins clearly need to go through QA for some issues, this has no effect on gameplay. Find a way to let us keep it. |

Raise the price of skins a bit, and let them apply to any ship in the game. Remove skin changing in space, and make it a station service, where you spend some ISK to get the paint. If CCP is truly opposed to folks "cross skining" their ships, make it so using cross faction skins costs more isk to "paint" on the ship.
Bingo Bango, a new ISK sink, everyone is happy with universal skins, CCP still makes bank, and the only limitation is how often CCP releases new skins to its store.
This "bug" is by far one of the most hyped features CCP has released in a long time "fixing" it would be a huge mistake I think.
The coolest thing of all this though, shows CCP is entirely capable of giving us corp designed ship skins, that can in fact apply to any type of ship that corp fields. |

My head hurts from trying to understand CCP. When they had a horrible idea that was universally hated by EvE players(gold ammo and $1000 jeans) they tried to ram it down our throats and then they had to fire 20% of their work force because a lot of us quit.......now there is something we want and CCP is like uhhhhhhh you can't have it because reasons!

Mario, you've been around long enough to know that's not true.
As has been shown literally hundreds of times over the last decade, no matter how much CCP try to cater to the vocal minority, it's never good enough. So while your idea (and others in this thread) may seem like a good one, it won't be good enough for most here.
Hell. CCP could give all the skins away and there would be a threadnaught from the whiners crying that there should be free ships to put them on.
You know, I feel for these guys. We asked for skins. CCP gave us skins. And still nothing but rage from the forum warriors.
At what point should CCP just throw up their hands and say, "**** it. These idiots will never be happy so why should we even try?"

CCP Darwin wrote:
The challenge is making something that makes sense in terms of the game.
No, there is no challenge. This is not some complicated problem. You guys need to take a step back and think about things as a whole and stop trying to shoehorn what you guys want in vs what players are actually asking for.
So here's at the minimum how this should have played out. Each race has several color schemes that they have assigned to them based on the corps and lore. aka Gallente have greens/blues/ etc. You convert the hulls to have "colorized" parts aka certain sections of the ship like you have now in the skins that will take the predetermined color. This means that once every ship is done you don't have to re-invent the wheel (aka test every skin you do now) so thoroughly.
The down side to this is that you can't money grub on players for "things" that should essentially be free/covered in the sub price. You didn't charge us for all the model upgrades. You didn't charge us when you upgraded the lighting, and you don't charge us for any other "art" in the game that is developed.
The problem with EVE's payment model and others is that we pay a sub already. Most other games that have micro transactions have free to play options or their transactions are actually ya know, "micro". The sub we are ALL paying (regardless of the means) should more than cover the time it took to release the current SKIN system (or ya know actually give players what they asked for in CUSTOMIZABLE SHIPS). But you guys just can't admit that you are wrong on this thing. You want everything to be about lore, and yet here we have a RL life store stuck smack dab in the middle of the client?!
CCP Darwin wrote: EVE is an MMO where people work a very long time to achieve what they do, and dramatic looks need to stay special and rare in that context.
Why? Not everything has to be a terrible grind like skills or standings. Wanting to change the drab color scheme on a single ship shouldn't in anyway but special or rare. You guys have spent the last few years simplifying the system (particularly skills and are even talking about removing attributes altogether) and some how you can't realize that the more you make the system less accessible to people that the less people are going to be interested in it?!
CCP Darwin wrote: The ideal is to find a way that retains that sense of fun and excitement from playing mix-and-match with ship looks while still keeping a sense that the most desirable ones are meaningful and rare to own, something to strive toward, and without disassociating our existing faction appearances from their lore connection.
Then why aren't you know actually doing that? Its not like we are getting faction/corp skins from the actual corps that would be selling them IN GAME! What you've done is created an income stream solely separated from the game itself and now you want to make excuses because players have actually discovered what they wanted in the first place is already doable now FROM A BUG.
CCP Darwin wrote: Edit: Note that existing faction looks do have a lore connection in terms of to what ships they apply that we're not eager to throw away, but that doesn't mean that there can't be potential future SKINs that are not constrained by lore in any way.
Then what you should have done is put them in the LP stores in the first place. Not money grubbed. That cat is already out of the bag. The choices now are to continue with your current plan, customers be damned, or adapt, admit your mistake and show the world that you guys can do things for the benefit of your customers. |

Why not like those kids in special schools. They are happy all the time. They also don't often have too much understanding of the value of things either. They would make excellent customer base for CCP microtransactions it seems.

CCP Darwin wrote:Tyberius Franklin wrote:Any hope of current skins being less restrictive in hull application even if confined racially or by other lore components? At current it seems like this system will either leave a lot of options out for a lot of hulls even within lore lines or just introduce a number of skins exponentially greater than the number of ships if not both. The reaction of the community to this is going to stimulate a lot of conversation. I won't be the one making the choices about where to go with the feature from here, though. My job is to enable whatever's needed. :) While I completely acknowledge the technical and lore reasons for not implementing this officially at this point, once the technical vetting is done please pass along this consideration to those concerned with preserving the look and lore of EVE.
Currently pilots of any race can fly missions for these corporations/groups while being from any racial background, and flying any ship they like, in missions representing these organizations as an official agent.
I don't feel that it would violate lore in any way to contract missions from of these organizations and obtain a license to fly their colors.
In essence, you could base the NES store sales (and other future outlets for SKINs) around license purchases for the right to represent a particular organization. For example, I would be purchasing a license (say for the equivalent of a PLEX) to officially represent Sarum or Kador, or anyone else for that matter. I then have the right to put their colors on any ship I care to fly.
If you wish to tie this into lore more closely, in most cases require a certain amount of standings be earned with that entity to be able to purchase the license. Perhaps even to the point where the amount of standings you have would determine what class of ships you can apply the SKIN to. Low positive standings allow use of these colors on frigates, the highest levels of standings would allow them on cap ships.
And if you don't have any standings, or negative standings, you either can't activate the license or it costs you double the amount to purchase and use them (black market purchases basically).
Tech limitations I can see.... the fact that it changes CCP's plans for marketing them I can see... but lore would certainly allow for it if handled in this (or a similar) fashion.
Frankly, it would be a very good idea from a business point of view to consider how many more skins (and the potential profit to be made) if this wildly popular ability can be incorporated in this or a similar fashion.
As always CCP Darwin, thank you for communicating with us on this issue so frankly... and consider this post to be meant in the most constructive way possible.

Maybe CCP should stop treating chinese people differently, limiting prizes to only one server, if anything the event or lottery should be on both servers, Don't llimit the prizes for one server. What Chinese have that we don't have? PLEX for 4B ISK? I don't know if that makes you feel sorry for them and you tried to compensate something, because that would explain this special treating and CCP Rise reaction at Fanfest.
Those Yachts, It was not really fair CCP. You make ship and leave it to only a few gamers to decide which bunch of not related gamers would get it. I don't even knew people who were sitting there, at this tournament. If I never meet them in game once, how I was involved? By sitting on my hands while they were shooting each other?

The entire mechanic of SKINS is already at odds with the fundamental nature of eve; they are tied to a single character, cannot be traded, and cannot be destroyed. The reason for this is simply so that CCP can break into the pandas online demographic and gain an extra revenue stream at the expense of the eve universe.
Taking the next step and disregarding the lore and credibility of the eve universe by proliferating these skins randomly onto any and every ship will be a step too far.
Be happy with the skins you have, you have got what you wanted and CCP can increase their revenue, with at the moment only a minimal negative impact onto the wider game. |
