Character creation is wonderful. I have never witnessed a better one. Like our finger prints, I doubt you will find two avatars looking exactly the same unless it was done on purpose.
That being said, let's move on to the ships. Now, after spending 30 minutes creating an avatar, I had hope to find a similar process for ships. I have been here on and off starting with beta back in 2001-02, so I can't be sure that my topic hasn't been covered yet (anyone can point me to the search tool for this forum?).
I am also a fan of Dawn of War (futurist war RTS), and I had the idea where we could upload a logo in a 64x64, 32bit Targa format and apply it as decals on our ships. Or, if this puts to risk server capacity (~0.05mb x 5,400 active players...), there could exist a paint shop that offers paint services for the ships.
It's just so sad that we all look alike in the end, eventhough we spend so much time getting that perfect avatar, the first thing we see is the ship.

1. You are not your ship. 
2. Ship decals have been discussed before (to death, I feel), and the simple answer from the devs is "Yes, we would like it, but the lag y'see...". Apparently, looking back on devchats, they actually implemented it - but the lag problems meant that they didn't activate it. Maybe one day...

So no Hello Kitty then... what about the decals that are already there? Maybe just a little player controled hue change?

id love custom paint jobs, the next station service. you would buy paint, and either do it yourself, or buy paint plans off the market from people, that require certain amount of different paints just like the minerals required for a blueprint, what would also be cool is custom paint jobs on missles! how much funner it would be to fire a torp or cruise missle with a happy face stamped on the front

i think it would be really cool to have painted ships, but i know that the lag would be killer. What they could do is, make painjobs like the game "Homeworld" That game has cool paint jobs, and although they are not very diverse, CCP could make certain sections of your ship be painted different colors, and i know why u cannot upload a logo, becuase someone could easily make a p0rnographic logo and put it on their ships. But i like the ingame - logo schematics that were mentioned earlier. Those would be cool, and they could be in the game, so u don't have to download every new logo u see.

Possibly a simple colour substitution on a ship would not cause any lag - it should only be one or two parameters passed to the client.
