No skins yet, just seems to be place-holders.

aur lp and isk for custom skins of faction variants...
**** that noise. ISK or LP should be the only viable currency. AUR can go **** itself.

Bullshit. AUR can stay the sole domain of Space Barbie. Don't mix stupid with spaceships.
E: I get what you're asking for, but I highly doubt CCP will ever allow players to design pure vanity skins (outside of contests, maybe) for the simple fact that it increases the number of art assets in the game. So yeah, keep stupid out of spaceships.

How do expect them to pay for ****?
Hate to break it to you but AUR is the future and will soon replace PLEX.
Deal with it.
That's terrible bait, man, try harder next time and you might get a nibble.

Would that be like GTA where you pull into some random garage and drive out a second later with a new paint job? If so, I'm all about it.

What is the problem? Specially if they continue to spread out away from Aur. Like the lp faction avatar clothing.
If they limit the Aur painted ships to "gold" colors yet let other corps paint jobs be sold as LP, or even rare bpc drops. Why not.
Would rather they simply allow you to trade ship+ISK or ship+LP for a new paintjob. Not at all interested in paying RL cash for in-game items when I already pay a subscription to play the game. Regardless of how harmless AUR might actually be, it's Yet Another Currency that we really don't need in the game. Plus, the current inability to trade AUR for anything else means it can pretty much "go outside and play hide and go **** yourself."

Roll Sizzle Beef wrote:Then you never would get the Aur supplied colors. Just because you wouldn't use the method does not mean it's not valid. Then people who bought the Aur painted ships could in turn put it on market for isk. Then you could buy it anyway.
AUR is in the game to suck surplus plex out of the system. Yet its currently a lousy system to do so since there is nothing worthwhile in the NeX store. Vanity ships would work a lot better than pants.
This proposition is also under the idea Aur wouldn't be the only method to obtaining special colors. Only Specific colors not obtainable elsewhere.
Rationally you make a lot of sense, but until there is a direct AUR <-> ISK conversion the danger of pay to win is persistent because AUR is outside of the game on one side or the other. Conversion in the form of clothing or whatever doesn't really cut it. Once you have that conversion AUR doesn't even need to exist, so we might as well just get rid of it. Hence my aversion to anything related to AUR in the slightest.

This is true, but in EVE ships get destroyed all the time. So would your vanity ships be like your vanity clothing? If so, that'd be pretty ****** up.
Roll Sizzle Beef wrote:CCP pretty much learned is lesson. Just look at the ishukone scorpion. They abandoned the idea because it bypassed player industrialists When the players objected, CCP abandoned the idea tell it could be sensibly offered with a proper trade. As NeX was shortsightedly (debatable) designed to only accept Aur trade.
This could be yet another issue with the colors. Why not let player industrialists profit from the new schemes? You take yet another manufacture avenue away from players which deprives them of that sort of entertainment.

What will probably happen is something like the LP store: AUR + ship = painted ship.
If they go that route I'd hope they do something more sensible and have a "paint booth" at stations owned by certain corporations where you exchange LP + ship for a corporation painted ship, since this more closely matches our current method of acquiring faction ships.
