Prince Sanguine Hull Breach Inc. Double Tap. 0	Posted - 2013.06.02 08:41:00 - [1] - Quote Even if they just introduced one or two different options to make a ship look a little different from another. I personally would love to rock an odd colored ship instead of seeing everyone in the same boring colors. Even navy versions with w different camo tone would be nice.

It would still be nice to see some crazy custom paint jobs. Imagine a having an all white freighter and being able to draw a crappy rifter outline in black (think ms paint). I would die. But o guess it would probably giant flying man junk instead. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind some tidi to see those ships blow up.

Switch from your lame T1 hull to a navy/pirate/T2 version. Brand new color. Problem solved. Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day.

Aragoni Aliastra Gallente Federation 86	Posted - 2013.06.04 06:36:00 - [12] - Quote As long as it's not a service where the currency would be PLEX or Aurum I'd be all for it. But as someone mentioned above, it might make the fleet battles even slower. Plus, I'd hate to see ships in pink or other extremely bright colors.
Zuzmaw 33 RD Li3 Federation 5	Posted - 2013.06.04 07:01:00 - [13] - Quote Maybe if they had pre-determined colors/camo/designs to choose from, so it doesn't contribute to metagaming. And lag shouldn't be an issue with that. But it would make for a great ISK sink.
Zander Kumamato Madz Legion Madz Republic 7	Posted - 2013.06.04 07:02:00 - [14] - Quote any lag and rendering issues aside. A simple color picker for a few different spots like in the homeworld game would solve many of the bright color issues and such.
Mr M Agony Unleashed 242	Posted - 2013.06.04 07:10:00 - [15] - Quote Because * It introduced lag in beta. * Most people don't zoom in so they can't see your ship colour. Also, you know most people would paint their ships in obscene colours. Share your experience Write for the EVE Tribune www.eve-tribune.com

One of the oldest mission players in EVE designed a chart that explains stat priority in regards to mission running, compared Alpha, DPS, Ship Speed and Sig Radius and scores them. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m24dbrfuWn1r86ax8o1_1280.jpg

No thanks. End up getting TIDI at like 5%. Ship color schemes are manipulated via texture layers rendered by your graphics card, with all information locally stored for the shader effects, and have no effect on server lag. We don't know the real reason why CCP hasn't rolled out paint jobs. They will say that, up to this point, all ships were not ready through the V3 process. That reason is now gone. I suspect the real reason is CCP enjoys marketing special edition ships and is trying to milk it for all they can before they open the floodgates of color.
Jexis Ghan Red Ochre Mining and Exploration Fatal Ascension 2	Posted - 2013.06.04 08:16:00 - [23] - Quote Yes i want this a nice set of drones that when launched orbit the ship and spray paint it to your choosing, then we could go and tag other ships. Titans would then be works of art or look like a complete mess either way sounds fun.
Cipher Deninard Noob Mercs Monkeys with Guns. 5	Posted - 2013.06.04 08:51:00 - [24] - Quote I must admit I quite like the idea of adding a bit of colour. But as stated some sort of pre-made colour chooser would probably be best, people in messy ships would just annoy me to much. I don't really think it would merit the time the devs would need to work on it though. Maybe someday....
Aldebaran Aubaris Free-lances 5	Posted - 2013.06.04 08:54:00 - [25] - Quote Going a step further ships should be modular when they're built changing the physical look within that class. Thats why we have ship classes in the Navy. An Arleigh Burke destroyer may look different then the one its parked next to due to slight design variations. Paint schemes might be corporation specific, not player specific. With "Paint corporate scheme" an option with repair.

Server doesn't render graphics, all it would need to do is send the color values along wiht the rest of the ship info. A primary and secondary color is like what 6 extra bytes when the ship first lands on grid. Can't see much lag coming from that.

I doubt it. if that was the true reason, it would be completely moronic. They would bring in so much more overall sales if they 'cash shopped' dye/paint packs with limited amount of uses. Put them at a 5--25$ cost, introduce some new item like plex that can be purchased and then sold in game as a 2nd form of money trading. You then have people paying at least x to keep accounts active each month and then x y or z to do paint packages for the ships. I suggest a new form of 'currency' like plex because I don't feel paints should run the same price; offering them in basic, bundle, and collection packs would be genius. Then allow the paints to be traded individually for isk. They could also release 'limited edition' paint packs to drum up paint hype and increase sales from time to time. This is just a rugged concept that I literally just imagined but you can understand the basics.

For those machines they could incorporate a toggle to turn 'awesome hue's' off so you toaster users wouldnt burn your machines up.

Wow really does show how pathetic Goonswarm is, u drop 8 blackops onto a logi ship in the middle of nowhere, maybe when goonswarm gets some skilled pilots then mayb just mayb you'll be able to compete with TEST. I would fully support account bans by ccp for meta type stuff like this.
