A while back I got a buddy account for my wife. She wasn't too into the 'spreadsheet' aspect of EvE of course, but I handled that by showing her what to train and buy. She got into a Dominix rather quickly with the skill point bonus and we ran some missions together.
In the meantime, we're looking at all the ships a Gallente pilot can fly, especially the navy Mega. The problem here is that the ships are not customizable in any way. I personally like the "camo" skins, but they just aren't that girly. There's no way to customize your ship in any way, shape, or form. Even in ghetto ass freelancer the admin could change the color of your ship lights.
I know better than to say a curse word on the forums, so lets just say she is now playing a game as a Gnome with pink hair. Point blank ~ If you could have a pink skin for your Nave Mega (or whatever ship) more women would play EvE online. Put in a Hot Topic for your avatar when you release Incarna and you will see an increase in female subscriptions. That sounds like a joke but it is not. Other games have entirely female based clans/guilds, I remember Half Life even had the first "Girl Power" server.
Anyway, just my opinion on a direction CCP should think about. Not at the top of the development list, but I bet you a plex pink ships would get more subs than the (imho)stupid bling keyboard support recently added. This is clearly a signature. |

Getting a Dominix so soon may have been a little too much, too quickly for most women. Perhaps she should've started with a Thorax, and worked her way up to something bigger from there. Aside from looking like it was designed For Her Pleasure, it also comes in red.

Dominix is pretty much a fist.
Not as bad as avatar though.

Insert joke here about how after being with Cipher for so long, his wife could easily move straight to the dominix. <3

Edited by: Messoroz on 20/06/2010 16:07:12 Why the heck do they need pink? Why the freaking hell do they need pink! It's a one freaking color out of a ridiculous number of them and out of all them, it is the one that flows least naturally unless you are a pimp or a ho.

I was just talking to a few women around my age about nail/toe-polish and interior-decoration( One is moving away from the pink in her room, yes! Seemed to like the red I had on a wall ) a few days ago
In our opinion
Pink with shiny/bright colours: Kid age Pink and grey: Adolescent Bordeaux red: Youre becoming an adult with a passion and an identity! Purple etc: Drama, romances, wisdom...this colour has everything and you want to show it
I'll leave the analysis about it up to you
Good luck with a more colour-friendly game for your wife ~~~~~~~~~~Sade~~~~~~~~~~ *I'm a Soldier of Love, all the days in my life* |

The kind of people who would only play Eve if there could have pink ships... these are the kind of people I personally wouldn't want to see in the game.
In fact, you have pointed out that there are other games for them to play (which involve trolls and pink hair), so maybe we should just leave it as it is, and allow them to play those games without annoying us in ours.

Quote: Good luck with a more colour-friendly game for your wife
That's the point, she doesn't need good luck. She already has one. CCP needs her 15 bucks a month.
Also, I notice that out of all the colors you and your girlfriends talked about, exactly zero of them are available for customization in EvE.
Well the closest to anything ..hmm, "colourful" is the redish colour you see on the Enyo/Phobos and some other ships. Not very convincing at all but why should I bother to ask for something more; If I want colour there are plenty of other games (like WoW, which is great with that) and thousands of other activities I could do
Has your wife read this thread? Tell us what she thinks of the whole issue :)

Shes the kind of person with a 5:1 kill ratio in most games, I can see why you wouldn't want her in your system. If you got killed by a pink ship it might hurt your shallow adolescent ego.
@Merc, I tweeted her the thread, I'll tell you what she says. This is clearly a signature. |

Pink ships dont fit with the atmosphere/setting in EVE.
I like EVEs setting and so do a lot of current players.
If this means your wife refuses to play - who cares.

rumour has it thats because most women who have a horse under there first ah 'sexual experience' while riding one. Maybe CCP should stup a system whereby a 'feedback device' activates everytime the users ship jumps to warp. (maybe the hellcats have a patented version for whenever they blow up a ship, please dont pod me)

You are confusing harsh with drab. CCP bills it as harsh, not drab. In every recent war you can plainly see customizations on many many military vessels. Most aren't pink, some are. There are 300,000 plus immortals in eve and trillions of people. To think that not one of them thought of customizing their ships is lacking in thought to say the least.
To answer your question, both myself and CCP care if my wife plays EvE. While you may not care about my opinion, you care about CCP's as you are posting in their forums in a thread directed to them. This is clearly a signature. |

tell your "wife" to stop being such a slave to the status quo, a sheep that thinks all females should be into pink.
Im into pink. I have male parts. and I'll gank u and take ur stuff. There's 1, repeat 1, frigate in the T1 lineup designed to be a suicide tackler. the rest are for COMBAT. so don't tell me to tackle when I'm in a combat T1 frig. OR tell CCP to fix their mess. |

The point of the thread being that you can't have any color customization whatsoever.
The fact that you used the word "sheep" in reference to my suggestion to expand choices as opposed to having only one choice is amazing. You should work for Obama. This is clearly a signature. |

Really sinks the boat. (unless you are into that sort of thing).
Quote: tell your "wife" to stop being such a slave to the status quo, a sheep that thinks all females should be into pink.
This is why I like chicks who look weird :-) Women who use magazines and peer pressure to determine how to look have no imagination in the bedroom. Goth chicks would be nice but (in my country at least) Goth = "covering up being fat". (unless, again, you are into that sort of thing).
Frankly, the "dress up" aspects of WOW is what attracts a lot of lady players. There are clothing items in WOW like dresses and such, having no purpose (stats, etc). I was once in Lagforge looking around thinking I was in a virtual night club. These WOW players can be told "Second Life is that way" or "GTFBT2L".

You should propably ignore the less skilled trolls or this thread will get sidetracked very fast.
I agree with you. The one area where EVE loses to every competitor is visual customization. There really isn't any way to add any personal touches to anything. Even alliances have been fighting for years to get a simple logo for their alliance added. That is pretty much an epic fail on the customisation options scale.

Take your wife into lowsec and 0.0. Watch her get podded and see if customization still matters then.

LOL
Come to think of it, customization would be an avenue for more tears and greater losses. Even with plenty of ISK to replace a ship, it still takes time going about gathering the parts and rigs. I knew a WOW player - another gamer girl - who would spend an entire weekend in one instance trying to get a complete armor set solely because it looked good. Imagine doing that, and then losing it all.
So letting them spend a lot of time coloring things, decorating it, etc, and then *pop*. Hmmmmmm.
