This idea has probably already been suggestion prior to now, but I think it would be healthy to suggest again. I'm sure most of you saw the "RED Alliance" decal on the ships in the Trinity model reels, and thought it would be a great idea to be able to include your own alliance or corporate decals.
This idea, if employed correctly, could be a good one. To avoid dominating the whole model with a decal, limits could be set to how big you can make said decals. This limit is proportional to ship size ... for example, on a frigate, you can only place a relatively small decal, whereas on a Dreadnought, you could place a relatively huge decal.
I suggest making the application mechanism similar to what it is in Need For Speed: Carbon. You are given the corporate decal as a preview on he surface of the hull. You then have a window which opens with a scrollbar with which you can adjust size, and a four-way clickable "D-pad" with which you adjust position. This would be done in-station and the camera rotation mechanics will remain intact, mousewheel to zoom and click-drag to rotate. Of course, mirroring decal position could not work, because a number of the ships in EVE are not symmetrical. Also, to avoid people spamming decals and making their ships corporate billboards, a limit of decals allowed upon a ship could be 2 or 3, each decal costing 100 ISK to 1,000 ISK, depending on its size.
The finished result could look something like this:

Should be corp really, easier to deal with decals, and most people should identify more with their corp then alliance.

That's supposedly been coming since before shiva. Granted there are a few people that have done custom ship skins for their alliances members, by editing the ship skin files out of game. Only problem with that is it over rights all the ship skins regardless of alliance. Hehe I remember back in the day when a Phoenix Alliance member redid the BS skins to have the Metalic black and red colors of the PA, with the Alliance emblem on em. |

^^what he said. I like this idea. My personal opinion is that it should be limited to people's corp/alliance symbols. It should also cost more then has been suggested in my opinion.
And finally, maybe ships of pilots or corps involved in Factional Warfare who are in the Militias could be allowed to add a decal of their factional symbol.
supported!  |

The corporate logos look like crap though, the logomaker is utterly useless and subpar even compared to WoW facial features and that is saying a lot!
Growing tired of trying to make anything nice with it we went all black for the corporate flags and made an alliance of ourselves, in part due to this their statement that 'screw corporations, alliances and imported logos is where it's at!'
Do I think focus should be on corporations still, yes, do I think CCP does, no.

Thats true. Player Corp logos SUCK in comparison to the NPC corps... |

You think they'd be any better if CCP allowed players to include stylized text, like you see in most NPC corp logos? I think so..
