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. |

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.

Some quick questions about your plans for this.
What kind of limitations (if any) will there be? Will I we able to for example make a Khanid Interon V or an interbus Tengu?
Will the blueprints be ship specific? Ie, we'll have to buy a "Qafe Dominix" BP or would it be something more like a "Quafe Battleship" BP that can be used with any battleship?
How about a "skin slot" on ships. Instead of manufacturing a ship with a specific skin, we just create the skin as an item and then apply it to a ship of appropriate size. Ie, I buy a Thukker Mix Cruiser skin BP, produce some Thukker Mix Skins and then put one on my Legion, one one my Thorax and sell the rest on the market.

You should have done this right after the introduction of the NEX store. I think these skins will be a LOT more popular than clothes.
I hope you come up with a better implementation for ship skins so we can have something truly custom (+ alliance logos). - |

It doesn't affect combat. There's no reason for you to possibly take issue with this, except you feel like CCP shouldn't be able to make extra money on something that can fund more game development from people willing to pay for it. And you don't even have to use real money to get these, you can buy them from other players for ISK. Given the amount of free AUR people were given before, the market should actually be flooded with these pretty quickly.

Because CCP is making the most popular and most requested skin in their game history not cost extra money. Nice of them, eh? |

Since models are tied to type ID's, would it not make sense to utilize the system already in place to modify models WITHOUT chaning TypeID's? A legion, for instance, is always classified as a legion, even though it has thousands of shapes/models. The skins should be fittable like subsystems, and all skinnable ships should be treated (technically) like the tech 3 cruisers. They have their skin 'fitted' to them, which then loads in the proper model.
Oh yeah.. and... WOOP WOOP!!!! |

We considered that, and if any of these ships had been likely to be common bans we would have changed the rules accordingly. Game Designer | Team Five-0 https://twitter.com/CCP_Fozzie http://www.twitch.tv/ccp_fozzie/ |

Using aurum doesn't excite me one bit. But that's just me I guess. Having more paintjobs is cool, but having to muck about with the NEX disaster is not so cool.
I'd be interested to know if you contemplated just trading paints for isk instead, and why you decided not to? It would be a nice sink, one imagines. |

Something else I'd like to see:
Being able to break plex down into Aurum coins, rather than just into Aurum directly.
So you can sell smaller amounts for slightly inflated costs, without having to buy the Aurum from CCP
Say, 50 or 100 aurum coins. And be able to sell directly on the market. Steve Ronuken for CSM 9! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4236322 http://www.fuzzwork.co.uk/ Twitter: @fuzzysteve on Twitter |

This looks amazing, can't wait until we can paint more ships. Although I do kinda agree, it would be nice to have skins in LP stores, maybe custom skins (if they happen) could be AUR or Concord LP? I really hope it's possible to overcome that code to allow custom ships...
Please tell me you can overcome the old code? <3 |

Also I don't really like the way these skins have been implemented.
Was it not feasible to create a new slot on ship fittings for "Paint Job" and sell paint jobs as retextures that cover the entire ship? This way you could sell packs of "Black" "White" "Urban Camo" etc. and we just apply one paint style to any ship having a defaulted texture placed on it.
Was it done as whole new ship models because of programming issues? It just seems there will be far too little in the way of choice and a lot more work to produce hundreds (or thousands) of blueprints for every different ship model and creating those ships within the game as new items (which is to my understanding how it currently works).
This seems like it would take far more development time to create new content than it would take investing into the start up and an ease of use for rolling out easier to use packages for players to buy, price more popular colours higher like every other game.

Just other skins is nice - but I think corporates and alliances need the ability to develop colour schemas.
Every ship has same body parts like weapons, front hull, side hull and so on. I think you can imagine what I mean.
So if you are in a corporate that got such a schema, you do not need to colour your ship by your own - you just set it to the corporates colours.
I think as long as you do not give people the opportunity to colour their ships by their own, you can't test if they are more risk driven or whatever.
Just now it is like you want test a new car with cool features without this cool features but a new colour. Join our beloved caldari militia on facebook: http://www.fb.com/CaldariStateProtectorate !!! |

I really like the idea of the program. The prices in the devblog sound pretty reasonable as well. Sounds like it will cost around 200mil for a painted battleship if you use PLEX to convert. Id pay 200mil to paint my Vargur any day. I have to say that I think the Abaddon looks amazing. Go Go Curse paint job! I really hope that you guys allow the BPCs to be sold on market or on contract so the players can set the economy/prices like everything else :). |

For now since this is just the initial pilot program the skins are only available for the specific ships that are shown in the blog. All of the ideas you've mentioned are possibilities for a potential expanded system, but we can't make any promises at this point.

It's not really a code problem. It's a data problem. You allow the skin, everyone who sees the ship has to download it's texture it to their computer. It's also a immersion problem, because they want ships to look like they fit the universe. Giving EVE players complete control of texturing would be a nightmare. So it has to be done in a way that won't allow you to abuse the design too much. |

These are paintjobs, not ship variants.
