This is just a thought I had and was wondering what the community thought about it. I was thinking that wouldn't it be nice if in the next update/expansion we were able to visually customize our ships with different paint colors/schemes. I mean lets admit it, some of us buy special edition ships b/c we like the looks or hate the standard looks i.e. minamatar rust-bucket scheme. Now imagine if we were able to design the colors of our ships that we actually wanted and to take that one step further what if Corps were able to do the same or even add their corporation logos to ships instead of the faction flag. I don't think that it would take a drastic amount of coding to accomplish this (of course I am no programmer) It could even be added to the repair shops in stations for cost (same as getting repaired). Anyway it's 6 am and I am rambling but just wanted to put it out there and see what others thought also maybe get CCP's notice/input/place a bug in their ear about it. Thanks for listening. |

I like the idea, but I think that the colour schemes should be limited in some ways. I don't want to see pink Megathrons flying about. I am sure I have seen this suggestion before - the worry was how much extra lag this would cause when you were in a high traffic system. |

I would love to have all my ships painted a shocking pink.
Why would this be bad?

It's been suggested a million and one times before.
The issue is server load.
Loading 2000 custom skins in a fleet fight would kill the server quicker than you can say flesh toned thorax.
CCP has spoken about this a number of times.

IIRC this was one of the imagination promises at the last fanfest, to have alliance/corp logo on the ships.
Whether CCP Seagull was implying that they will be doing it soon, or whether the imagination is the only place where this idea will ever exist, is uncertain. |

This suggestion has come up very frequently. CCP have mentioned it and said it was possible, but their initial way of dealing with this was to create new ship "skins" and have people trade in a normal ship of the same time and some aur in the next store to receive no colour schemes etc.
This never happened of course, like a great many of CCP's ideas, but that was the idea. They also said that they would be introducing corp logos on ships. At the time they said if would be possible when all the V3 textures were added to TQ. Which, as far as I am aware, happened in Rubicon with the addition of Station's V3 textures (don't remember where I read that can can't be bothered to check right now).
So we can expect corp logos fairly soon (or never, depending on how CCP feel), but no idea about custom ships skins etc.

Yes, it would be nice to have.
That said: OP, take a look at your post and tell me in all honesty if you think it's an easy read.
Once you've come to the conclusion that it's in fact not, go add some paraghraphs and linebreaks.
EDIT: Just realized somebody beat me to the punch. Also, I can understand the 'just got out of bed, my writing's shite' sentiment. |

Except, like WiS, CCP say that it will happen eventually. People who make successful computer games (read CCP) think it would add something (immersion if nothing else). So frankly, I find your opinion lacking.
Edit: Also, just to point out, shooting a dead horse doesn't fix your problem. The horse is still there, and still dead.

Skins could cause increase of server load but nobody will convince me that color index for various parts of hull coded as single byte is not possible to introduce. Just give us X colors to choose from for each main part of hull and you have most successful expansion ever.
Of course you can start by giving us pink and pink with slight amount of pink to complement pink.

The whole 'skins will increase server load' thing annoys me a little. Because it doesn't have to. CCP have said so already and frankly anyone with any IT savy can see how it doesn't have to.
When you load grid, you load the hull types of all those ships. The hull type (probably a single integer ID) will then be used to get the ship's stats, and then your capsuleer skills to modify those stats, as well as ammo, and implants etc etc. Pulling the single integer ID at the beginning is not likely the problem given how much else has to occur afterwards. If these new skins were separate hulls in the nex store, then the process would be identical. That new integer ID would just refer back to the original hulls stats, or alternatively (and more simple) it's own set of stats, which happen to be identical.
This would be no different to the current system.
The corp logo thing would only cause client side load and could be turned off in the options. You already load the corporation of each ship when you hit grid, all that's left for the logo to appear is for the client to interpret it.

The problem with arguing for adding custom color schemes is that we play a game filled with 30 year old little kids. I don't want to play Hello Space Kitty Online with it's neon pink ships. I'm all for adding variety, just don't add stupidity. I'm ok with logos being emblazoned on the hull of a ship so long as their large enough to see clearly, but I don't think custom colors is such a great idea.

Only 30 year old kids with red-neck mindsets would have an issue with pink ships.
That is the whole point of me wanting my ships to be pink.

A selection of designs would be more preferable I should think. Give someone a marker and tell them to pain the ship, you will find penises and vaginas landing on gate. |

People have already done evil deeds in this area. of course. Here's one and here's another. Luckily, these nasty reskinned things only appear on the reskinner's own client. To the rest of us, they still look like normal ships.
But seriously, CCP would have to limit the recustomization options available to players. As somebody said, it would just turn into a bunch of genitalia flying around. |

Yeah tbf they're pretty fantastic. Break up the monotony of space-darkness. Also genitals are cool too cause someone is almost guaranteed to create a doctrine and call it "peenfleet" and I'd love to see an archon blob in full regalia of this fashion.

I was not referring to this. I was referring to adding preset colors and designs to wings and such. A few variations of primary and secondary colors would suffice. No need for 1000 degrees of pink or purple. |
