In that case it is clearly in your best interest to support this proposal. Paint your ships in shades of black and enjoy fewer colours on your display.

I don't know, I kind of like the idea.
Yes, there'll obviously be a small number of idiots who'll purposefully color their ships fluorescent to **** people off.
There might even be a few people that do it to amuse themselves. The color palettes, if implemented, should retain the basic gritty and militarianistic shades they already retain. As for the Tech II problem, I figure we could always keep a distinguishing color for them (already implemented) that can't be changed, that won't be avaliable in their counterparts.
I especially like the idea of corporation / alliance logos. If nothing else, implement these for the pure novelty and, shall we say, inherent pride that comes with flying your flag.
I like it.

EVE is already colorful enough as it is with its colored ammo and rainbowlaz0rs
Wait, where the hell is this ammo?!
I want to shoot different types from each of my 7 guns....

I very much like the idea. I think different designs on ships per individual taste fits perfectly into the capsuleer's merc/individual mindset.

heartily support.
and to those decrying lag and server strain, recall the part where hundreds of corporation logos are already being transmitted to your client by the server all the time. And that the proposed information can be easily encoded in 16 bits per ship. in a large fleet battle, we are talk about ONE maybe TWO kB of data. As the OP says, almost any other conceivable added gameplay feature would create more overhead than this. If even this amount is unacceptable, then trimming the proposal down to just the alliance/corp logos could be encoded in two bits per ship.
as per the client side lag, just turn the feature off if you have problems. many of us, even with older hardware, can run eve just fine with decent graphics setting 99% of the time.

Supported on the pretense that lag management should come first. This is something CCP should keep in their back pocket for a later update when they've gotten to the point where they can consistently manage the lag from new players and old bugs, as this would only add to it.
P.S. Also only supported if I can have a Navy Mega purple with pink polkadots.

Y'know how some people are just magnets for pirates and lowsec bombers?

I honestly don't see why someone wouldn't like this idea. I have done a lot of programming in the last 20yrs and I know that this rather simple, and non hardware intensive idea, would be a great implement for the game. Seeing as how corporate logos are already textured in the game it can easily be stamped on a ship... so there is little problem at all. In fact just take the same system EVE uses to make logos for Corps and use it to customize ships. Why this hasn't been done before I will never know... And anyone that says nay to this is simply just being the devils advocate... If you would rather keep your ship plain than so be it but for everyone else we would like to see this customization take place soon.
If it wasn't obvious before I completely endorse this idea.

Eve ships already have colors applied to them (the basic textures are grey-ish, so the blue parts of a megathron and yellow parts of a kronos are 'painted' as they use the same textures).
Since there is no server load for loading corp logos (they're stored clientside), all it needs it a few extra bits per ship and some slight effort from the art department to assign the appropriate spots.
I don't understand why this hasn't been done already, tbh. Every MMO out there allows to display 'guild' logos and most of them allow you to paint/dye your stuff.

- Some players may find some customizations unpleasant/offensive/not as good as the originals.
You think? See the 'bring back old cyno effect' petition for a small idea of how unpopular aesthetic deviance can be. DO NOT underestimate the players love for Eve's darker and more mature art. Otherwise we'd all be playing WoW (or some variant)
Seeing the beautiful ships of eve suddenly transformed into rainbow-coloured Earth & Beyond style childs toys one day is a horribly disgusting thought and I'd like to avoid it.
Please try as hard as you can to imagine a little thumbs-down underneath my portrait.

Thats what PvP is for.
CCP wouldn't ruin the dark gothic grungy coloring and atmosphere of EVE, even if they did consider this idea the option for hot pink ships would be the first one to hit the wastebasket. Color choices would probably still conform to the entirety of EVE as a gaming experience, meaning they won't be over the top and stupid.

Although this idea is interesting. But few technical issues:
If you have ships painted differently and have different names of makers of them - how can you repackage them, make a stack and put a sell order of like 10 of them on the market in one single sell order?
If this idea goes through, it would be good if in eve settings there would be an option of turning off those logos/additional colours, so that the lag in fleet battle is rediced.
But overall, of course the idea of painting ships your way, having pretty corp/alliance logo and makerstamps on items would be good, if those technical 'buts' are dealt with :)

- Solution is resource-friendly, needing only 15bit of information per ship from the server.

I agree. This is needed, specifically with the corporation / alliance logos and manufacturing "stamps".

I don't support the idea of having personalization. It seem cool, but at the end of the day...
Having another issue for the client/servers to figure out before going into a major engagement, jumping through gates etc etc, just seems like a larger problem than anything it could bring into the game.
And I'm pretty sure there will be some ways to custimize things once Amb. is fully deployed, for people to go crazy with.
Leave teh ships alone.

As much as I would like it, and it would be pretty cool, I can think of 2 reasons this would be a problem.
1.) T1/T2/Faction ships. How are you going to tell them apart? I can imagine clicking on tem and being able to see the mini portrait as original colors would work to an extent, but it would add to a lot of confusion.
2.) sever load? I really don't know if this would be an issue or not, but preloaded and cached ship models probably boost overall speed a bit, and this seems like it might add a little work when you consider people are in ships a fair bit of their in game time.

I like the idea of "opt in" so if I want my spaceship game to have everyone in the same ship look the same I can.
What I would rather not see (but what some people want) is Ship + MSpaint = Penz0rWessle
Templates is a good idea, colours should be rather subdued though. I fear some people may parade around the galaxy in hot pink cruisers that make eyes bleed just to make points.

I like the idea. Maybe not full customisation immediately, but certainly extra skins for the ships would be very nice.
