With Rubicon 1.3, to be published on March 11, we introduce an exciting pilot project: ship skins for you!
With this pilot project we would like to see if you are interested in ship skin pain, figure out the demand and if we should go ahead and spend more time in developing a full ship paint project.
Read all about this pilot project in CCP Xhagen's dev blog Ship Painting Pilot Program.
Also welcome the return of the Police Comet!
Please note that this is a pilot project. If demand shows that you really like the ship paint, we will go ahead and implement a proper ship paint system. Your feedback is extremely valuable here!

I'm down for this
And you need to wait only a few more days until Rubicon 1.3 is published!

Please note that this current pilot project is just a test and an experiment to see if there is enough demand to justify further development.
IF there is enough demand, then there will be further dev time spent on the mechanics how to get ship paints. If there is enough demand, then the current version will be much improved.
If there is no demand, then it would be quite difficult to justify dev time spent on such a project though. This is one of the reasons why we have this pilot project in place.

This requires more development time, and while an interesting option, we would first like to see if there is enough demand for ship paints. I think everyone can agree that it would be not so good to spend resources on a project that no one wants in the end.
Better start small, see if people like things, examine things to improve, gather great ideas and then - if it is worth the time - create the full system.
Please remember that this version is just a pilot project!

You can get AUR for ISK. You don't need to spend any real money there.

You are going to make a new vanity item.
Why not to place it directly to market? Or even LP shop?
Why to the ******* aurum shop?
As the blog stated, the developers would love to have a broad variety of methods how you can get the ship skins and not just AUR payments. For example, the blueprint to convert the Federation Navy Comet into the Police Pursuit Comet is available in the CONCORD LP Store.
