For everyone upset about "no more juicy kills" or T1 looking like T2 (& vice versa) or having timers on rarer licenses.. Come on people, this is JUST a way for us to have a little personal touch to the things our screens are focused on for hours on end. There are plenty of UNIQUE ships Faction,T2, T3's and more T3 destroyers coming out all gonna be around for your "juicy Killmails".
So what if a "Guirsta's Permanent License" is eventually obtainable for everyone.. People come and people go and people try new things. I dont think rares should be timed for the only sake of keeping exploration relevant.
In my opinion the most Sophisticated and "Familiar to EvE" way of integrating CCP's SKIN system is to first distribute licenses in game according to hull type: Frigate Licenses Destroyer Licenses Cruiser Licenses Industrial Licenses (All ORE ships in this category as well) Battlecruiser Licenses Battleship Licenses Capital Licenses (Freighters in this category)
If the entire lineup were directed right for NPC corp/Faction LP stores it would allow CCP to control their value having a LP cost tied in. Rare Pirate licenses could be the equal cost of its faction-edition ship since they'd be obtained in an identical way Few Examples: A permanent Pirate Battleship Skin License would cost the same as that Pirate Faction's Battleship A permanent Navy Cruiser Skin License would match the cost of the Navy-Edition Cruiser in the LP stores A Permanent R&D corp Skin License for hull types would be available via R&Dcorp's LP store. Maybe they can be only obtained as a R&D agent's reward for highstanding research missions. They should be as rare as highgrade implants & boosters
This would balance the rare ones quite well and add new opportunities within all the NPC LP stores since each one would be supplying their own style skin for each of the 7 hull types I listed above.

Does that include the various Quafe skins? The newer ones yes. You'll still need to have the ship or BPC somewhere when we convert it. Some of the older Quafe industrials with Quafe bays won't be converted over, but ships like the Quafe Tristan, Quafe Catalyst, Quafe Vexor, Quafe Megathron, and Quafe Dominix definitely will be.
I am still confused, are the licenses of any particular skin only good for one ship type? Ex: if I have a BP now for a Interbus Moros skin, when release on Tq would that just become an interbus skin license for any T1 I sit in?

CCP Terminus wrote:So your InterBus Moros Edition BPC will turn in to a Moros InterBus SKIN (Permanent) which is a License that will be placed in your redeeming queue. The License only affects the Moros in this case, and all Licenses in the initial release will only affect one ship, though there is no technical limitation to why we can't have it affect multiple ships in the future.
Thanks for clearing that up ..I had a post further up this page suggesting licenses be distributed by hull type (frigate/cruiser/etc), is it too late in development to streamline it this way as opposed to cherry-picking every individual ship that either gets a skin or gets left out?

It wasn't a Aur/NES purchase, but it was an isk/LP purchase. So Perm or Timed?

I agree.. I had mentioned in another thread that all NPC pirate, Navy, and R&D corps should reward their trademark skins as High standing LP rewards, I don't understand why they're getting hung up on T2,3 skins ..If you see a tengu - it's a tengu & whatever skin it has just makes the game world more diverse (not all ferraris are red) ..would people really get confused in combat just because of color?? all non-T1 ships have different names identified in D-scan and overview so no hassles there.
Also skins should just be a nice permanent fluff to personalization and not an uber flakey timed carebear market stunt. All my skills are permanent why is no one complaining that my skill books drop as loot everytime I die? Look at all the expensive skillbooks out there - skins should be a one time skill sorta thing and NOT pend insurance's evil twin (referring to its time limit).

Is there any chance we could see navy pattern skins available maybe through faction warfare LP since certain items are only obtainable from FW npc corps this could be an understandable reward. It would be interesting to see for example a Caldari Navy skinned Rokh or a Fed Navy Thanatos, maybe a R-Fleet Maelstrom. Also faction warfare fleet roams all navy skinned up (from an RP standpoint) would feel a lot more like you ARE their navy as opposed to hired guns.
