Basically we all want is either Hello Kitty or/and Black Legion paint jobs.
Oh and lots of people already know exactly what paint job they want for Deimos.
Also flame jobs. Especially fitting for Goon ships |

I totally agree with this. BUT you can buy aurum with isk. And... But Im not impressed yet with the paint system.. I want something more like http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s260/MrOosterman/ponyclub.png Im not spending a single isk or real money on anything less.
First paint should be after youve done the fitting. this whole manufactured paint thing is bs. RL i dont have to pull my car apart take the engine out and strip it completely down to paint it(yes i know a good shop will strip it part of the way down, its not a complete dismantle though). IE i shouldnt have to remove rigs and repackage to get it painted.
Second, if i buy a paint job(scheme) with aurum it should never go away. BUT to have a ship painted it should be a per ship type deal and it shouldnt be more then the ship. And the paint cost should be a 1/3 of the total price of Jita as it is the main hub(or make it relivent to the price at that station). so, 100mil ship should be 33mil(roughly) for the paint job.
As for the paint schemes it should be by EACH ship and EACH paint scheme you use.IE you make a few and save them and then deside on which one you want to actually use you then purchase it(its now saved to you forever) at the paint booth and can be applyed to your ship at a cost equal to 1/3 ship value at that time. I would perfer isk but i know how much CCP is trying to put a use of the aurum. Also, Scorpion, widow, Scorpion Navy issue, and rattlesnake should all be seperate to be fair for the costs of building the programing for this.
As for the break down as the visual form the photo above you have 5 sections for items to paint, I think the mods should be 1$ per section. To add a uploaded decal 1$ per ship(decals should be allowed to upload what we desire, But i know there needs to be some code of conduct in place IE no **** pics). Corp. and other ingame factions icons should be free.
shuttles should be a flat rate of a 1$.(painting it should be free)(all shuttles)
All other ships. 1$ per section and 1$ to upload a decal. painting it should be 1/3 current value of jita price.
Also, I think it should cost extra to make the paint scheme public thinking 1$. and its not tradable(up in the air about this one). |

just an idea, the painting for the future could me made as a paint rigg for the ship so u can just put a Paint rigg to change the paint of the ship, (this would require a new Paint rigg slot), in that way would be no need to create new database items for the painted ship and also it would be on KB by reading the paint rigg on the ship and using the picture according to it. or something like that =) |

Corp and Alliance Logo's and color schemes would be great but ship skins shouldn't be limited to just that. There's lot's of players who would also like to have 'Custom' paint jobs.
As for changing ship color, it definitely should be a fitted item such as a rig slot. That would work great and hopefully not be a problem to do regular colors, ie, black, white, red, green, etc.
Course having multicolor paint jobs would be excellent, as well as having the option to place Flames, Racing Stripes, Flags, etc.
Anyway, that's my 2 ISK worth of imput.

Please Revise: Painted ship's listing under "standard" ships:
The painted ships are currently creating clutter in the market tab for standard ships. Please move painted ships to special edition or just somewhere else in the marketplace.
For example Maelstrom Krusual Edition is listed under "Standard Battleships". Keep it up, +1 |

How ship painting is treated with respect to the ship: A ship should not suddenly enter a new category because it is painted. Ship ### Edition, for example. Skins in my opinion should be treated like rigging. If you repackage the ship you lose it. They should also be traded by contract, and not on the market as now. It's just a skin.
Instead I think it would be better if painted ships had some detail in their fitting or inventory that shows that they are painted. That should be visible in the contract, but not in the name or otherwise. After all I am not "Chihiro Silver Coat Edition" just because I am wearing a silver coat. I am still just chihiro, and the ships should be treated the same. Keep it up, +1 |

Ship Skin options: Arbitrary Skins = Meaningless:
The skins are entirely arbitrary. There is no story or anything behind them. So why should I (or anyone) care about them? Swapping logos, for example swapping the caldari logo on caldari ships for a different faction's, would have been better, and meaningful because we all have a faction that we like. I would love to fly a raven in the colors of Khanid. That's not we get.
Ship painting is about personalization, and I see no evidence of that taking place right now. If presets are going to be used, and they probably should, then more thought needs to go into them. Keep it up, +1 |

Review:
Its a nice idea, and its nice to see the company moving in a new direction. Ship painting is a beta, and I think it still needs some work. Mostly to be less intrusive, to add some (meaningful) personal value to the skin/item, and be to be available. Keep it up, +1 |

Ok, great that CCP thinks about coloring ships.
I suppose this thread is for the feedback...
So there goes:
The model of ship customization to shoot for can be seen in Pirates of the Burning Sea (PotBS)
Features:
1) for each differently colored/textured set of surfaces on their ship, players can choose from a color palette, that is limited to colors that match the style / color palette of the game.
2) these colors can be set any time you please and there is no cost whatever. (in a subscription game, charging for coloring your ship looks like a rather insolent cash grab, even though I understand CCP's frustration with their Aurum store, which failed due to the whole walking-in-stations fail. If Bioware did this in their F2P SWTOR I'd have no issue with it, but here, its just greedy.)
3) different colors can be chosen for in-game or player made faction / alliance / corp logo color sections.
4) there are some rare, really cool custom paint jobs available, that are either in-game achievement rewards or Aurum purchases.
It would be really bad if players still had to depend on the taste of some CCP employee for picking contrast colors to simply make a larger selection of still pre-fab skins, which are then called "player ship painting skins" which they are not, cause we'd still be stuck with some other guy's choices, which we know from experience can be pretty poor. (think forest or desert camouflage in space and other nonsense, or simply being unable to get the desired color on the particular ship you trained for or favor for any reason)
So, I hope the Aurum stuff is just for special skins that someone at CCP put a lot of effort into, but that basic ship coloring has no price tag whatever. |

- Or -
Use Research to make the blueprint last longer so you can apply the color or skin to more ships. Like a +3 to the amount of runs available?
Must we swath everything in hours and hours of logistics and more virtual items to shovel around? Its starting to get stupid.
For once, we could achieve something simple and fun that's not an additional time grind, that doesn't enlarge the spreadsheet side of the game.
Maybe I'm the odd one out in the EVE community, but it seems you guys are either masochists or else you must all adore accounting and logistics. If you love that so much, why don't you use that love to make a ton of real world money in accounting and logistics?
I'm not much of a merchant soul, I want some quick fun, not a simulation of a job. |

Absolute simplest thing is allowing us to set primary, secondary, and highlight colors via hex code, then give us the option to choose which of our available emblems to paint on the ship. The info should be stored as meta-data for the ship, and payable with currency,
This means that the Goons can troll people by making bright pink ships. |

Well, I think CCP would limit the palette to what matches the game palette, same way other games do.
Though there's always one or another player that finds a way to make a very hideous and loud paint job. Those are the ones you shoot first in a fleet battle ;D |

I just hope that the paint job sticks with the hull, and we can generate our own colors.
That would open up a world of possibilities for things like titans... especially if they can work in some internet memes as a few joke skins. |

ya!
we'll see if CCP actually lets "players paint their ships" or if they're just planning on handing down a proliferation of yet more CCP-designed skins, where we still can't necessarily get the colors we want on the ships we actually want to fly. |

Can you please PLEASE take this stuff away from NEX store and put it in LP stores.
If you (CCP) are counting the NeX store items as a success, i'd like to see the metrics i know you have available related to these new ship skins.
1. Pretty much the only option was to buy them from the NeX store. Not exactly a good measure of how well NeX store is good for seeding items as opposed to LP Stores. (granted, the ONLY LP Store item was the amazing COMET!)
2. How many of these skins were bought from the NeX store by the players who's sole interest was to resell them for profit, being a new/fresh item. How many of them have actually sold, compared to how many were bought from Nex?
3. How many of the NeX Store items have actually been applied, comparing that to the number that have been initially purchased?
As alot of ppl are repeating, why have micro-transactions in a pay-for game? What does our subscription money go toward if not for the development of content? (i think ship skins may count as game content)
Oh thats right, our subscription $ goes towards floating a model rifter and pod up to the higher-lower atmosphere (not "space" was claimed) since that really helps the code monkeys develop new in-game content or fix bugs...yeeup. |

Having thought about this for a while I decided what I would like to see is the ability for corps, alliances or individuals to own colour schemes.
The way I see it working is that the CCP art department releases a colour scheme that can be applied to all ship types and an auction is held with the winner receiving a BPO for that colour scheme. The same colour scheme is never released again.
I would also love to see a corp or alliance logo on ships which can be changed for a small fee. |

People want lost of things developed by CCP in eve, CCP only has a finite budget, People who want ship skins can pay for them as the profits from which can be used by CCP to create more ship skins and artwork for the game, not to mention some of it can be diverted into reinvigorating aspects of the core game we'd like to see changed.
The subscription model is fine, and to the credit of CCP the subs have never gone up in price since I've been playing (2008) despite the fact that real world costs are going up. The alternative is that subscriptions go up in price to fund all of the nifty stuff we'd like to see, but that would result in outrage from the players who aren't interested in the same stuff.
At least this way people are actually paying for the things they want. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |

I would like the option to paint my ships. this would be a fun thing to have in the game.. Paying for it sounds like a SCAM. I believe a pilot should be able to configure his or her ships any way they want just like they change the look of there toon. as far as market issues, when u repackage your ship to sell it goes back to the stock .
A cool thing would be to put murals like in ww2 times like they did on the B52s that would be sweet...
SO CCP Do it for the Fun of the game not for the CASH! |

I know that from messing around with Homeworld 2 tools that you can create various pin stripes for your characters race ships as well as being able to change the actual color of the ship.
Although I do not know exactly how the process works but I would assume changing the ship color is basically a filtered set of textures and alpha channels which could be easily added to the environment through the use of a Ship Paint Job Store where the pilot scrolls through the different color schemes much the same way that a pilot is able to adjust the pigment of their characters skin.
I would have to say that all faction type ships could not have their color adjusted but any T1 or T2 could have its paint changed. |
