Whilst we customize our bios, our lifes within EvE we cannot customize the look of what we fly.
Wouldnt it be cool, if we could maybe add a logo to the ship hull, or, change the colour of the lights, or make a tint to the look of the ship. Just be able to change the look of it a bit better, it'd top off a great game i think.

yeah like a paint option for ships. could be a service at some stations. i.e. like paintshop would cost certain amount of isk for amount of paint and how many colors used just like autobody shops irl.

It has been mentioned by the devs before. Have a look in the In Development section. They have a list of all the things they would like to add and are thinking of working on. ------------

People are concerned that if we allowed total customisation of ships we would see a lot of silly looking ones and rendering all the different variations would add a further (unnecessary) load onto the server.
To avoid the above problems I would suggest a "halfway-house" where tech1 ship come in a range of paint colours (in the same way that cars do today) which CCP can chose themselves so that they retain the look and feel that they want the game to have.
If this seems a little too restrictive then tech2 ships could be allowed further modifications to be made (logos or designs perhaps) to reflective their "leetness" and faction ships could be the most customisable to reflect their individuality and rarity.
For example, Gilas and Worms with the Gurista bunny logo on them would be ubercool

While it would be cool it will also end up in alot of pink/purple ships and I'm personaly not to fond of that.
What would be cool is if your ships displayed your alliance logo on a wing or something.

As long as I can turn it off so I see vanilla ships, and it doesn't increase lag, go for it.

I think it should show the corp logo on a wing or on the side of the ship and on the top and bottom.

I would love to see a function like this. Perhaps the rigs they were talking about could add some aesthetics as well..?

To be honest if we could just colour our ships a certain shade that'd be good, and would add virtually no loading time, just like 10 bytes per ship. And yeh, they could add just a bunch of preset decals like the guristas bunny, like someone mentioned. Virtually no bandwidth would be required for that really - the decals would be stored on the clients computer, and the server would just say which decal, what size/scaling it was, and the coordinates on the ship. And of course lettering wouldn't be a problem either, just a couple of byes for the text and the font info.

No, I'm someone who spends enough time in fleet battles that every setting I can turn off to make things run faster is a godsend.

As long as it doesn't increase lag, (as in, at all...) then fine.
I hate to be boring, but really, its what your ships are like on the inside that counts...

Bleh...it'll be more textures for the game to load wont it? Or will it just be some colour placed on top of a "blank" ship skin?
Anyway....CCP...I'd like it....but please, don't allow Pink as a colour for the Thorax.
...on the other hand using a banana might be a viable alternative.

rendering is done by client, not by server. one second of a screen with 1280x1024 /16bit/60hz has 1.200.000 x 2 x 60 = 144.000.000 Bytes. thats is 144x8= 1.125 Terrabit/second data. I think nobody here has such a connection and picure data must definitely be rendered by clients 
If you address the differecens on ships, that should be transferred, then just a limited ammount of them should be available. this could add only limited ammount of data to the server. e.g. color of the fornt part/middle part/rear part of the ship. |

It would be nice to have a minmatar ship, with say, actual color to it by choice. Metal/rust is nice, but change is always good :P

A vigilant is a black thorax.
I'd love to see *LIMITED* customizable areas, and of course corp logos. Preferably just corp logos really =/

some colours are definately going to be more popular that others, for example i would imagine we would see a lot of black ships about which might get a little boring, in other games (guildwars)you can dye your armour, some colours (black and silver) are a lot more expensive then others because of this

i think the alliance/corp logos.
And a short scheme of variations (like in homeworld ships) would be a wonder.
Also add the Basic option if ppl wish toa void extra lag in fleetbattles.

Imo, there is no reason for custom ships. Just increases the lag, no need for that.
Altho a few more faction/unique ships would be great.

At the very least you should be able to put your player-corp or player-alliance emblem on your ship, so those 0.0 folks can pimp their rides better.
