hahaha... im serious though
Idea:
I think it would be cool if you where able to cusomize the color of your ship, draw on it! And/or have the corp/alliance logo on it.
Basicly just make my ship not look like everyone elses :P

I can go with Corp and/or Allaince logo's but HELL NO to custom paint jobs!!!
I dont want to see a bunch of neon green trimmed, checkboard with alternating nipple pink and powder baby blue squares ships.
Besides it would just be more data the server would have to send to the client each time you load a grid. Imagine how much laggier busy systems and fleet battles will become then.
TL;DR = NO

Maybe not actual custom paint jobs, but changing colours would be nice 
Also stops the 'lol lag' whiners as the server just needs to send 'colour1 = #000000' etc. Also, if your PC fails that hard, just add an option that lets you disable it on your client.

There is no reason you couldn't offer a small selection of colors, emblems, and a small area for logos. Warhammer does this to great fanfare. Honestly, if it's from a small selection of colors, it wouldn't add anything to server load, and it would add a greater feeling of customization to ship building. The paintjobs themselves could also offer a small isk sink.
But no matter, thats not whats being proposed here, and so I won't support.

I would definatley support applying the Corp (and/or alliance) logo to the ship.
I might even go so far as to support something like homeworld, where you have a main color and a trim color that can be set independently from a fixed selection of colors (black with black trim for that 'stealth' look).
But fully customizeble paint schemes - no, sorry. I just can't take any ship that looks like an explosion at a crayon factory seriously.

This is what I was talking about. Games like Homeworld or Warhammer let you choose from base colors, you can't go ipaint on the hull or anything.
This would be acceptable, and the lack of randomization would make it easy to program.

NO. Since the game designers were too lazy to create more models for the T2 ships this painting would eliminate the visual appearande of T2 shipas at all.

i would like to see this
adds a little bit of personality to things, beyond your avatar
corp colours and corp logos would be cool
but would be nice if solo players/noobs could adjust their settings also
although, i'd love to be able to graffiti "because of falcon" down the side of my ship :-)

other than your own ship, the only others that you actually really "see" outside of the overview are caps.

Agreed.
I spend a lot of time staring at my mining barge and that brown and gold is ugly -- I hate earth tones.
It would be great to be able to pick alternate color schemes.

It is a frequently suggested idea, and it is always considered a pretty low priority. In the past, I would have agreed it's not worth it, but now that so many items on the grid are loaded dynamically after it is up and running, it might work okay. I don't agree with much more than a single accent color selection (would basically end up just being like the paint stripes on Caldari ships, and such, plus the corp logo should be standard. Changing the basic color of the ship, I believe, would remove a lot of the nberness from the tech 2 ship appearance.
To sum it up, I support:
- Load accent color and corp logo dynamically, as server/client load permits
- limit customization to accent color, just for some flavor
- ability to choose none/corp/alliance logo to be displayed on ship

Then it can be brought again.
This even more than ambulation is one of the greatest complains with the game.
The lack of any descernable visual customization of your ship kind of hurts the visual style of the game. Even allowing only a certain number of color variants (dark ones for atmosphere) or branding by corps, just needs to be implemented. It wouldn't impact server information too much as the visual data would be only slight variations.
This is a small little detail that would make a whole lot of difference.

Logo: Yes
Paint Shop: No
Base Color: No
Here's why on base color. Many of the ships in eve [T2] are specified but subtle hull modifications, as well as their variation [ishukone, khanid, etc..] Even tho for the majority we rely on the Type Column and the Scanner to identify ships, seeing a redish thorax means HIC, seeing a black ferox means Nighthawk.
Also any logo additions/color changes should remain optional in the client. IE: If Pilot A wants to see the ships based on what has come to be standard known associations he/she should be able to disable Pilot B's Black Vulture from being black.

As often as this seems to come up and the major issue most people have against it is the visual identification of tech two ships, it would seem that the simple answer is if you don't want to see custom ships you don't have too. I started playing this game with premium graphics, and when I loaded EVE to my laptop and noticed my Comet had writing on it I was bummed out that it didn't have it in the updated skins. The only explanation I could think of for making the Navy Comet less cool was that it was eventually going to be allowed to be customized. Most games have some ability to customize, and with the release of T3 ships we see a really cool ability to customize a ship based on how you build it. In other MMO's you change your armour and it changes it on your character. I always thought that it would be cool if the Iteron started as a long ship with a ****pit section and a drive section and that cargo modules could be added to the middle to make it longer, something very much like what is done with the T3 cruisers for the most part, but not having any way to make something reflect you seems to limit the fun factor. Everyone likes to customize even a little, I want my Vexors to be black with green and yellow accents all dark in colour, that would be wicked. Stamping it with a cooperate logo would be cool as well. For some reason I highly doubt that it would be tough to do, and for those that complain that the visual identification of a t2 ship is more important, just add the button to turn it off, were not all pirates, or 0.0 combatants.
Another thing I noticed was a request to have a mark to show who made the ship, maybe if something like this was in say the notes section with the logo of the constructing corp with a link to the corps info would be kinda cool. And wouldn't be visually detracting on the ship.
Oh, and no I don't agree with hello kitty geddons though they look wicked outside the game I don't know that they are needed in the game.

We are pod pilots after all. It would seem that perhaps we want to stand out differently than all the others. I agree that some form of customizing should be implemented.

While not exactly new, this has alwas been a good idea.
However, that's what the OP is: an idea, not a proposal. If you want this to be taken seriously as a proposal to the CSM, develop and expand your thoughts based on the discussion and feedack in this thread. Make sure you find out what compromise a majority of posters would agree on. Then propose a clean set of features you would like to see implemented/considered by the CSM and CCP.
What I would support:
- corp and alliance logos on two fixed spots per ship
- a small selection of colour schemes/patterns per ship
- a choice of two colours from an 8 or 16 bit palette
- display of custom colours and logos both optional and independent
- paint job loads on grid at lowest possible priority
- making sure that t2 ships still looked clearly more advanced than their t1 counterparts by having neater patterns and cooler normal maps/reflections/whatever.
As to the sceptics:
- you are not forced to see what you don't wish to see, simply uncheck the box.
- distinguishing ship classes by their colour is just lazy. no sensible captain would colour his/her ship to suit your ease of targetting.
- this proposal will not cause increased lag unless your local PC cannot handle it, in which case I suggest you reduce your settings
- if humankind ever freely and individually travels the stars as thry do in EVE, you can bet they will colour their ships most obnoxiously no matter how harsh and gritty their lives.
- I expect the work to develop such a feature would take no more than one hour per ship, and some more to come up with an interface and QA the whole thing. Not exactly huge amounts for a feature many players have been clamoring for ever since the beta.

I support this Idea greatly.
The new intro states we are Demi gods, but if i am a god that doesnt deserve a lick of paint then i just feel small and insignificant.
I agree to the idea of preset colours and patterns, so that players cant end up causing too much lag with this. Having the corp logo would be an amazing idea as it would be like a sign of loyalty and proudness. Either way, I say fight for this.

Yes!
Even if it is only a way to cover those ugly white stripes on Caldari ships, they look like the painter was drunken while doing it (no straight borders...)

You don't get it do you? LAG! Want me to repeat that again? LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGG! L - A - G! And for what?
/emote doublefacepalm
So you can "change the clothes" on you ship? Go play second life if you wanna change clothes in a game.
And before you try to tell me that it wont cause lag: YES IT WILL! CCP HAS SAID SO (god has spoken), it has been brought up by the CSM and CCP tried it, it caused lag, does not work, you can not have it, go away, second life is that way ->
