I will preface the start of this by stating that companies should always look for additional revenue resources to further themselves. But in the next breath, I believe CCP is going about it all the wrong way.
There might be excitement currently for the new ship skins, but I believe it will be shortly lived. With plex prices already fairly high, the proposed aurum market looks less and less appealing for new and old players (never was terribly exciting to begin with).
Rather than charging players, I believe CCP should have added these skins via the LP store generating more interest to play the game and growing new comers. The argument for Eve is that it has a tendency to get stale after a while, and though these new features are awesome, they quickly lose momentum after learning there is a cost involved.
It will be interesting to see a comparison of income from the introduction of this new skin model and its future success one year from now. Similar to buying clothing for your character, it seems to be a one trick pony and a loss of resources, time, and revenue for the company as time progresses.

Thanks for contributing something productive to the conversation. I didn't know we were comparing epeen sizes here. You are a 2013 character which tremendous experience, IGÇÖm a lowly 2008 character losing my vision. Hence I have cataracts in my eyes.

I believe there is added excitment for the opportunity to customize your ship to your personal tastes. The game is starting to get a free to play characteristic with time passing and the kicker of a subscription.
My arguement is that it is a potential turn off to new and old players alike and could lose the demographic.
Excitement is lost when the new content has a price associated to it. |

You certainly rp a blind old man tired of life very well Yes Im clearly not a cyno alt  But please use your whole 6 years of experience to explain how clothes for my ship provide more content than trying something you havent done yet.
Nice catch on your edit there. I was gonna make fun of you for your lack of adding skills for coming up with 4 years.
Clothes, skins, whatever you want to call it is additional content to the game. Whether you feel this is of value is up to personal opinion. I fail to see your point young bean.
