You should at least be able to add your corp logo.
They could also have a decal generator which allows you to make something a little more personal. Something to identify you in space other than your mug shot.
But I reckon you'd only be able to have 1 of each.
Certainly no user skins, gawd knows what we'd end up with..

LOL Ascorbius */me thinks of questionable adult-themed CounterStrike sprays*
A decal "generator" would be very nice, something slong the lines of how you change the UI colours, ie: colour 1, colour 2, colour 3 etc. Adding the corp logo somewhere on the ship would be a good thing too.

++ to decal generator idea.
Furthermore, add a UI option that only 'looks up' a detailed description of a ship's appearance (including decals) when you tell it to, or close within 5k of a ship.

It would be nice to have your ship's name appear somewhere other than just your own (or your corp's) cargo hanger. 
...oh, and the logos would be really nice too!

Yeah, the ships names should be the first to appear if someone just browsed over it, the security status associated with it's pilot would still flash the proper lights as would the corporate tag, if any but only the info would reveal the name of said pilot.

Surely customised ships would just increase lag as the information on each ships skin would need to be sent to the client and then the graphics loaded from the hardrive  I've never run into a heavily blockaded gate but apparently the lag is already large from the limited meshes already in the game.

Well, I suppose there would have to be a ship detail option where you could choose not to receive decals from the server and display on the ships.
I would imagine that the decals would be fairly small anyway so the download time would not be too bad. certainly no worse than a portrait or corp logo and then they get cached so you don't have to download them again.

I must admit the idea of customising your own ship is very appealing and if like you say loading was optional, like the portraits, it would be a lot of fun.

Yeah, it would work in the same way as the sxplosion marks and blood splats in half life. Just a small texture would be used.
There would not be the need for the entire skin to be downloaded.
I'm sure CCP's engine can handle it.

"shoot someone - you will hit "their ships name" for XYZ damage"
Yes, that's usually how it works, when firing at ships in naval combat you fight that ship and not the captain, it's not like his big inflated head hovers the ship like a balloon for all to see 500 miles away...

CCP mentioned this in a Dev chat a while ago but it's a pretty long way down the list of priorities.

If they do this, it has to be the same as people's avartars - manual loading.
If it's automatically downloaded and displayed when you get within range or warp/jump into an area then it's open to the same kind of exploitation we saw with hundreds of cargo containers being dumped at gates

its only a problem because they don't do it sensibly. The client is blocked while the stuff is loaded, so there is lots of lag. If the data was sent asynchronously then there would be no problems. So what if you don't see the logos until half way through the fight, at least you weren't lagged to death.

In beta they had paintshops where you could add the logo of your corp or any other for the independant players.
Adding whole skins would be nice and done within limit,making only some surfaces able to receive paint and that only from limited colours would make it less laggy.
But what I would like to see is more ship custumization, if I add 100 mm rolled steel onmy frig I would like to see at least a slight chance in my ship's colours/armor. That would be much easier to implement possibly.
