Will the system remember the last Skin that was applied? For example, I skin one of my Charons, and pop out briefly to do something - do I need to re-apply the Skin, or will it 'remember' and switch back on...?

But seriously though... how do you see the market saturation affecting the price of all these SKINs over time? So I'll just save my Aur and my ISK for after everybody has them and they are worthless because nobody needs to buy them anymore, real great plan for sustained use.

And what the heck does the "Market" entry mean in the price column? That it isn't going to be available for Aur but only through LP stores and then the open market for ISK?

I am curious why the Police Comet is marked as a permanent skin, when it is still in some ways an in-game drop. I am happy to have it permanent, but it seems like a mistake.

Being Minmatar, sadly I won't buy any of the Minmatar skins. I was really looking forward for some cool Minmatar skins and truth is I got a major disappointment.

I find MInmatar SKINs not worth spending the ISK/AUR. No stripes like some Caldari ones, no different colors like some Gallente ones. Nefantar and Krusual skins just look as a slightly polished version of the regular ones. They just look the same to me and most of the times because of light in space, you won't even realize the ship has a different skin.

I would find interesting to know what percentage of the skins sold are Minmatar. I bet it will be a small amount compared to other races.

Definitively, I don't find any Minmatar skin that makes me think my ship will look different at all as others definitively do. And the "rust and dust" aesthetic argument doesn't feel valid at all, to be honest, when we are talking about optional skins.

If you make MInmatar skins that are worth buying I'll be the first one to get them.

Question to CCP.

I am currently in possession of the quafe ships after subscribing for a year. They are being held on an alt account.

Does the character I wish the permanent skins to belong to after the change have to have possession of the ships at the change or is the skin transferrable before applying?

Cheers

Oh dear. You're looking at a more than ****** off dude. I have looked through all the comments so far for this dev blog and I am quite surprised no one else has realised a few things.

Everyone please go into the game client and, even if don't own one, go and look at the current graphical previews for the Gallente Dominix, Tristan, & Vexor. Aren't they beautiful ??? I expect quite a few people have either bought additional game time or spent possibly billions of ISK to get their hands on these beauties. Wait for it..............

....

Now go back to the dev blog and look at the ORE ship skin for the Mackinaw. I know I've chosen a different ship to compare to BUT the Hulk will get the same colour scheme if it gets a ORE skin and the Mackinaw is somewhat detailed like the Hulk. The ORE Mackinaw skin is, as you can now see, as dull as ditchwater and not something I would be seen dead in !! Is this what most of us would like to see happen to the Hulk ?? The answer is clearly a resounding NO !!!!

I rest my case and ask for CCPs opinion on my comments.

Questions first:

I only saw a CSM "confirm" that items which are tagged with "market" will not be re-seeded and only use the current supply in the game. There was no mention of that in the devblog, and no mention of that from a dev here, and no mention when or how these skins will be obtained in the game after the patch. Where does a CSM get this information that there will be no further seeding of this item?


I'm not quite following here. You get a Megathron in ADDITION to the fitted Megathron you already have? Why?
Or if you get a standard Megathron to REPLACE the Quafe Megathron, what happens with the rigs and modules?

Stuuu~uuuff now!

.....

At any rate, please DO NOT consider to include ship skins in killmails in the future. It has no effect, and no value, nothing is destroyed.

.....

I know it is not going to happen but... I would love to see standing based skins c: They would only be able to buy / unlock when you reach a certain standing with the corporation, something like 9.0 or something, and you will be declined the use of the skin once you drop below this standing. The skin is still available for you if unlocked once but, you know, not usable as long as you don't have that standing. It might be a visual upgrade to an existing skin you need to purchase from the Aurum store first before you then can apply this upgrade from the standing based one.
This could also be a possible solution to make the 30day skin permanent, by showing your respect and loyalty for those pirate factions?

Oh really?

OH REALLY?!

You do realize that once this ship skin is applied, as long as there is no way to redeem it back, they cannot even find their way back to the market to make someone else's station spinning happier because of players dropping out? This is even worse than destruction :c

But to this particular case; I've always disliked how special ships have no place in this hostile environment, making it very sad to know they collect dust as simple collectibles or get removed from the game completely through destruction. Poor ships :c

It's really disappointing that the pricing structure couldn't have been discussed prior. I think those of us involved in the testing could have offered you some invaluable feedback. In any event, since market speculation now appears to be rampant - I'm not sure what (if anything) can be done at this point. If initial feedback and interest for this feature is mixed, I hope you use this as a reference point to make improvements in the cost structure.

A request:
I have a feeling that I'm not very interested in having the Genolution golden pod anymore if it's only SKIN. My character decided to use the implant because he thought it might do something special that was not cosmetic (because of the targetting range attribute and description). He's not the type of guy to show off his wealth and would rather have sold the bling to spend that ISK in a more useful manner.

So if you can, could you also convert my plugged- in AU-97 implant to a perm-skin in my redeeming que?
Long shot, I know, but I had to try.

Didn't think about that for the Scorpion IW (I don't fly battleships so I honestly didn't even look)....wonder what the reasoning is there.

The NPC corp thing was just a poke back for the "confirmed poor" which home dude then raged over.

I presume by the use of the word 'accurately' that you do not mean the current excellent designs for the Quafe skins will be kept and the pale blue whole hull wash designs from the dev blog will be introduced
