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.

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.

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. |

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.

The textures could be paletized, like in Homeworld. You just need an RGB (24 bits), or if they decide to limit it to a color set, or a single hue (8 bits). Pretty small.
But I think just being allowed to slap your company decal on would be cool enough.

My .01 isks: allow logo, both individual and corporate and race and navy - whatever, all the groups in Eve - limited to something small, two or three colors max, provide a "standard" logo for each race. Allow the CEOs to upload their corp logos and individuals to have their "racial" logo plus a number (8-digits??) for individual touch. Fixed locations, same on every ship in each class; different locations for different ships; larger size logo for the largest ships. Say, something we can see in the UI from 1000 meters (500?) and less range, but not necessarily beyond that range; just a color(s).
Otherwise, nothing. No chartruse, magenta, etc; no color changes, no shape changes, nada. Zero, zip, zilch, nein.

Yes Yes, would be a nice feature, BUT the is no way in hell i would ever support such a thing like this. Just imagin the Lag on the servers. at the end of the day if something is only going to a tad more intresting but is going to kill my pvp exp or lag me out i aint for it. and to be bloody blunt ccp should think about FIXING the game and balance the ship and mods be for even thinking about adding new ships and features, nothing will ever be balanced!!!!

Now that is an incredible idea. Devs do the most important thing: offering players to customize their ships.
Maybe with growing plants like in UO? Could look cool atop a Domi. Or a Carebear deed: once activated your ship turns pink and its shape is transformed into a giant Carebear. Useable each hour for 10 minutes, 1 additional minute for each 10mill skill points of the deed owner. Just to show off.
Some people could make EvE their real home. Hmmmm ....I understand that this is a much needed feature.

CCP have pretty advanced methods of customizing your character, why not give us some half decent tools to customize our ships?
It's good that we can customize our character, but this is made visible only in chats and Show Info's. The real characters are ships, ships are what people see in the world. In any decent MMORPG, your main representation in the game world is customizable.
No taxation without represenation!

it would be nice if you could have your corp's graphic somewhere on your ship. but most ships already look good, so allowing full paint jobs would just make the game look cheap and cheesy.
