Hi,
Since the creation of eve players have wanted to be able to customise their ships, add corp logos and define themselves by the ship they fly. With the advent of the new PGS texturing system and CCPs much more amiable stance on player desires it is more likely than ever to become a reality in game. Over the years many ideas and arguments have been put forth on this topic in a thousand different threads from as many players but nothing solid has really come about from all these discussions.
http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1202/20120209023127.jpg
Now that its more than just a pipe dream what do you think about this possible feature? Is it a waste of time, is it an opportunity to attract a new type of player to the game, or is it something that will help complete the sandbox. In the interest of serious business I'll be compiling the results from this thread and if you can't be bothered replying I've created a simple 6 question survey here you can take instead.
In response to your replies and as a reward for your patience and participation I will create 10 high resolution custom ship wallpapers for 10 pilots who've taken part in this thread, so make sure you post your favourite ship and a custom colour scheme too. |

I think you accidentally copied the wrong link for the survey...
seriouslythough I think it's a pretty great idea, especially the Body Shop idea in the picture.

Would be absolutely great, but I do hope all these customizable features will be VERY expansive, like 50Mil ISK per logo you upload and so forth.
Right now with the removal of most NPC sell orders there are just not enough ISK sinks left in Eve. |

I was disappointed when I realised that there is nothing unique in spaceships of EVE, they don't have the sense of identity like RL ships have.
The point of this game is to fly spaceships and shoot others with lazorssss and misls until explosions happen. When you fly in space, you see your ship, not the cockpit and stars. In other MMOs you see your character, in EVE the ships is your character in a way. Of course in combat you need to zoom out, but you still use "Look at" all the time on other ships, and :shipspin:
You can name your ships. You succeed in your ship and get emotionally attached to it- yes, that particular hull eventually gets blown up, but most people buy a new one, fit it in the same way, making it essentially the "same" ship.
So why not capitalize on this, and increase the emotional attachment by allowing customisation. Once my Talos is Ferrari red, it's less like the other 189200 Taloses currently flying in space, it's my very special internet spaceship. It would be super cool to have the ship name painted on the hull too.
Corp colours and logos would (will, please, will!) increase male-bonding factor in fleets by 239%. Just imagine the sight of a full battleship fleet in war paint, I'm imagining 60 pink Brutixes right now.
I bet the average player has one or two special ships, maybe more expensive than the everyday ones, with some more pimp, you know, the sunday ride that only gets undocked on special occasions. Not being able to pimp this is wrong and makes no sense :(
tl,dr; moar ship ****!

YES! This has to happen. There's no reason it shouldn't. I can see it now - I'm flying my Drake around Caldari space, flippin' some cans, shooting some noobs, but wait, what's that? THAT DRAKE IS HOT PINK WITH BLACK STRIPES, AND FLIPPIN' B.U.T.T. IS STREAKED ACROSS ITS SIDE! (that was my favorite ship and custom design, by the way ;p)

Last question of your survey could do with another option or two...
I'd like to see 'design outlets' where specialists ship painters (players in game) can perhaps buy/patent blueprints for their specific designs....
However having people pay 'upkeep' disgusts me. You paint something once and it is done until you repaint it, you dont keep paying some sort of license.
Still badly want this though. It adds a lot to the game and removes little - so long as its not Aurum or Plex based payment. |

Hi,
I was going to add another question or two regarding actual mechanics and sub professions but decided to leave it for the next one. Maybe I should have included it :| There's just so many options for how it could be executed |

Good points from people who noted that it should be part of the player economy. Why not create a whole new skillset for ship painting? Something new for the indy guys to train.
Still custom paintjobs could involve an ISK sink (besides the skill books), some sort of Concord licence to use custom colors in space, perhaps. |

To keep server load down and not necessitate loading thousands of different schemes, CCP could provide some base schemes with 3-4 user-selected colors that allow for uniqueness, with various logos that could be overlaid on the paint.
I'm thinking of something similar to the way iRacing handles custom car paint schemes. (This guy's blog explains it with images: http://iracerjay.wordpress.com/2010/03/12/custom-paint-schemes-in-iracing/ )
CCP could even run more art contests with deviantart to let community members both do the work for them and take ownership and pride in the designs. |

Only if they can figure out how to take Aurum (ISK, microplex, your hope and dreams, whatever payment) + not painted hull = painted hull
You may think that is pretty obvious, but they were convinced they could spawn ships for Aurum once. That stupid thought will pop up again. |

I see you're back and trying to make an impression.
I actually voted for you before, silly me.
Anyway, a lot of these ideas have come up before, it would be nice to have more window dressing in the game but not at the cost of the way the game performs.
In short, I'm all for window dressing the game as long as it does not lag it out.
You have to remember CCP has been fighting lag for years, it's why some things were simplified in the past or removed completely. It was not just trying to balance the game it was also trying to reduce lag. |
