Based on the current high price of plex we have:
-T1 frig skin: 8,400,000 isk
-T1 BS skin 65,400,000 isk
Expensive but not so much that I wouldn't want to fly it in space. |

The price of the "skin" should be relative to the price of hull.
It will encourage the skinning of smaller ships on a more regular basis then in its current state.
If we look at the end ISK price of these skins I don't think they are going to be fit to every day ships. Increasing the price of a rifter or incurses from 500,000 isk to 9,000,000 will make using frig skins as average fleet ships quite a waste of money.
With the price of these skins I can only see limited use, in selected "pimped" ships. I would argue lower the price point by x10 would cause their usage to increased x10 times. In its current state the "paint job" on the T1 frigate would cost more then the ship itself which seems a little silly.
If we compare that to the battleship "paintjobs" we see that price of the paint job in comparison to the price of ship is several magnitude lower.
Increase in price of ship via skinning:
Frigate - 1681%
Battleship - 32% |

Skins based on Standing would be fantastic!
I am 9.8 standing with the Angel Cartel and yet the Angel rats still shoot me, I wish someone would send them the memo that I am on of them. Apart from the free Macharial that received there is no way of knowing that I am held in such high esteem by said faction.
I understand that in its current implementation it is not feasible but if I was able to fly a special ship because of my high standings to a specific faction and able to show my allegiance them that would be amazing!
A coloured Cynabal because of my work for the Angel Cartel and soon able to colour a Macharial with once my standing was raised would be great.
When entering faction warfare you would only be able to colour simple frigates but once you had shown your loyalty to the said faction you would be able to colour cruisers and battleships.
A great way of encouraging progression and loyalty to a faction and being able to show it off to your friends. |
