The Skins are a great feature.
However:
It makes NO SENSE that each skin is specific to a ship, it requires creating an incredible amount of in-game items, that in the long term are gonna be a pain to maintin or keep track of.
It would be best (and more reasonnable in terms of pricing) to have race+class specific skins. Basically Skin would be race specific and sized like rigs: Small , Medium, Large, and Capital.
For example:
The aliastra Thorax Skin , would become a Gallente Medium Aliastra Skin. And that includes TII and TIII cruiser sized hulls.
An abaddon Tash Murkon Skin would become an Amarr Large Tashu Murkon Skin.
A LaiDai heron Skin would become a Caldari Small Laid Dai Skin.
To limit 'abuse' you could make it so that only one ship can be painted at a time?
tldr; Skins should be race specific and sized like rigs: Small , Medium, Large, and Capital, instead of linked to a single ship hull. |

Hmm what happened to the aliastra SKINs? They used to be black and red now it's grey and brown. I paid isk and aurum for skins that changed and that don't look anymore like they did at first :/
Besides most skins are already grey and brown: roden, duvolle... all basically grey and brown. And the Incursus used to have some funky red outline pattern and looked incredible. Now its just 2 red triangles on the side.
Why all these unnecessary changes? |

Also SKINs could be a nice way to reward Veteran Capsulers, and welcome new ones.
Veterans could get a special set of redeemable SKINs when passing the 20m , 50m , 100m , 150m Skillpoint marks. Maybe Race specific? Those who already have passed these SP marks would receive them retro-actively. New players could be offered a small Skin ( I'm thinking shuttle skin ) as a reward for a lvl 1 mission. This could introduce SKINs early on in the game. And it would be a great opportunity to re-introduce the Orange and White Gallente shuttle that we all miss so much (with equivalents for other races aswell) We need more SKINs for industrial ships. Miners and Haulers are the only ones to have time to stare at their ship so much, A camouflaged Venture? A brightly colored Noctis? Some raceStriped Hulks? (Btw the barges need a redesign so badly) |
