Hm... have been on and off this game for the last year. I still see the same ship models get re-used for "other" types of ships. I read the front page about having 70,000 subscribers. At say $19.99 US per month, that's 1.399 million bucks a month. I figure you guys could hire at least 1 extra artist/modeler to creat some different ship models and stop re-using the same models and saying "it's a modified this". Like the Amarr Interceptors just re-using the Executioner model. You'd think in space in the future they'd build some variety.

agree adding some diversity to the modesl ( factional ships however use different modelling) but an upgrading of ship grahpics at some point is hopeful at happening

I totally agree! It would also be nice if you could change you ship colors somewhat, perhaps add your corporate logo somewhere too.

corp logos and colours have been mooted but lag remains the big issue - im in favour of colours but corp logo perhaps another year or so then bring it in.

Glad to see some like minded individuals. I'm sure this has been discussed many many times in the past but like I said, they should be able to hire a guy to do some new models. Paint would be a nice idea. Shouldn't be to hard either and I don't think it would be laggy since it's rendered on the client side and it you could set certain areas of a ship to paint, then just pick your colors for each area you can paint.
Heck, if City of Heros/Villains can give you that much customization for your char (you could spend hours at it) I think it could be done here without much thought or effort. :)

The promise that has been given;
" Once we get bigger offices we will hire more staff. "
Stick to that CCP. We are expecting great things.
Failure to expidite that plan will return more player complaints. Even the best game can not carry a fat load of player annimosity forever. But then I still say how tuff is it to be the best game, when all your competition blows chunks begin with?

I guess one idea on the paint option, since I gather the question is when would a person download the information on another players paint job...
Since the ship picture is just that a picture so even though you could paint your ship it wouldn't appear in the "show info" for someone, you could switch the picture to pre-assigned after paint snapshot of your ship. I think that would be cool. Also the data to tell other players what your ship's colors are wouldn't have to be uploaded to anyone as they enter an area but only when you get near enough to actually view a persons ship.
hmm... some nice wood panneling for the sides of my Bestower...
I still think it would be pretty easy (in theory) to implement since if I went to get in close to someone's ship (or my own) I figure it would be a simple table of data. Paint areas on one ship A, B, C, D, E where A = 2 (say 2 = black), where B = 134 (Fuscia), where C = 67 (some other color). Thus the only info you'd need on a guy/gal's ship color scheme would be like: A = 2, B =134, C = 67. etc etc. Pretty quick download since you already have the ship models locally.

I would definately like to see some paint job options added to the game. Not necessarily a completely custom design, but designate certain parts of the color pattern with modifiable colors, then give a list of a few dozen colors you can repaint those pannels with.
Categories could include two-three main panneling colors, underpanneling, guns, lights, framework, modules, engines, and of course a misc category. The color scheme alterations would be comparable to games like Dawn of War, & Armored Core. I'm sure there are other games out there with similar features but these are the two I thought of.
Also in addition to being able to alter colors, there should also be available 'patterns' such as animal skin patterns, camoflage, geometric patterns, etc. And lastly you should be able to put a custom logo, or your corp logo, or something similar on your ship somewhere as well.

Maybe if more people add their 2 cents worth to this topic CCP will get started on this. Anyone from CCP care to comment?

The 'On the Drawing Board' Section;
More corp logo material to choose from
Add a couple of tons of new colors, shapes and symbols and such to the selector and preferably make them visible on ships when you do "Look at" (so it doesn't hurt framerate when you have 20 ships around you)
>>>
Beyond that, custom color job, even if we could only choose the basic color of the ships we have now. A bright 'Ammar Gold' Thorax would rock.. for a bit..  Then, 'Caldari Grey'.. maybe.
