wouldnt it be cool if when you flew your ship you could represent better with placeing your corp and or allaince logo on your ships hull? Also one step futher and maybe placing your ship name on it? also have Role playing text on it as well? like amarr victor on in amarr language... i just think it would be cool
i know it can be done, Eve is made out of 3ds Max, i know 3ds max..... it can be done, Simply place a tecxture named "so and so logo" on a faceing of the editable mesh of the ship, link the texture as the logo stored in the DB as your corp logo.. and BOOM! done, you now have customized ships fitted with corp logo

It does kind of surprise me CCP haven't already implemented this...
They're clearly capable of implementing decals under the current engine and it would add ALOT of individuality to the game.
The load on the servers could be excessive... or maybe not. We just don't know.
Congrats for this idea though =]

Not that much lag, and CCP have talked about being able to put alliance logos on ships before. The Alliance logos are actually built into the client anyway, so it would probably work out ok to have them put on ships, with the ability to turn them off of course.

It depends on how they implent it, but it should not make any server side lag, only client side if any..

you guys dont get it
the ship images ,textures and models are stored client side and require no commands from the server mabe a few extra bits of info on which image the client needs to load this willnot cause any lag if you really want your corp logo on your ship then edidt the textures of your ship on your client keep in mind that will techinacly be a breach in the ELUA but its just a ship texture and the wouldnt notice unless you post a pic or something of it

you are right .. Server lag would be nothing. All you have to do is link what is already there with like 2 lines of code. I know for a fact it cant be done. Your corp logo is already in a data base, in a table some where under somthing like "Tblcorp.logo" so in turn all you would have to do is go to the mesh on the ship.... Pick the faces of the mesh where the logo will be placed and enter in little lines of code like
If client has logo on ship = yes ..then texture=TBlcorp.logo
else Texture = TBLstock.stockimg
then all you have to do is add in a option in the ESC button menus to display other ship logos as in fleet battle trying to display all those logo would probally be a hastle, but then again that should be upto the player to decide if they want it or not.

The server must handle at least some of the load, even if that's simply sending a packet to inform the client it needs to open a peer connection to receive the image from X client.

Haven't you guys ever played Descent: Freespace?
Decals ftw. Have it display texture :CORPNUMBER: on your ship or whatever.

It's all a matter of luck really. The devs tend to get round to every post eventually (which BTW is excellent service, far superior to any other MMOs) it just depends when they can pull themselves away from their coding and picking up chicks.

I'd like a more concrete way to change the look of the ship - the color. That wouldn't be hard to implement either, basically all you'd need is for the server to handle the tiny amount of data that tells which color texture to use, so it'd be fully possible to implement, even more easily than the corp/alliance logo I'd imagine.

This was discussed at the vegas gathering. Corporate branding is something they want to do however, I doubt it is high on their to do list.

Alliance/corp logos are quite possible.
Invidual decals less so.

Then you couldn't distinguish between t1 and t2 ships...

This would work the same as the lgo in a way. all you have to do is set somthing like
Ship hull texture = Geddon_grey
or somthing like that.. simple line of code
but like others are saying it is posible for it to create alot of lag as you have to send your informtion to the server, then the server has to puch it out to every one near you..... but this could easily be fixed by zoneing. in unreal2k4 there is a option called zoning. when you are in a zone you have everything in the zone rendered to a set quality, meaning anything out of the zone could be defualted to stock.... so simply put, you could place a zone around you ship and have your personal setting set on to how far out the zone goes to call for customized decals/textures and such

It might be possible to do the alliance/corp Logos with NO server to client extra usage, as corp tickers are already sent to the client, just look for the corp collom on your overview :)

I was told by an old friend that originally you could paint your ship different colors and corp logos and such a long time ago. They got rid of that because of lag issues. They have new hardware now giving us better performance and I'm not sure how much more lag it would create to implement it again but I'd rather not even chance going back to the servers before the upgrade.

Actually there would be since your idea assumes that all corp logos are already cached. I know that the logos are made up of standard components (although the alliance ones aren't), but that's an extra transfer of information regarding the components of that logo.

100 of them are from one corp/alliance
the other 100 are from another corp/alliance,
10kb each
that's 40kb!
a world of yes.
