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. Come back to this dev blog and look at the new versions.... I mean abhorrent creations.... of the previous beautiful ship designs. Instead of glinting blue panels we have a dull blue wash across the whole hull. It looks like a can of old light blue undercoat paint has been poured all over them. If this is what we are going to get instead of what we currently have I think I will be selling them on rather than make myself sad by flying them.
Now everyone pop back to the game client and look at the ship engines from the rear. I often 'fly' my ships from this or a diagonal rear perspective. The rear detail or side detail of the ships are not obscured and it all looks nice and clear and detailed. Now pop back to the dev blog and look at the reimagined rear engine views. I haven't looked at all of them yet but take a really bad example where there are multiple engine. The Charon for example is a really blotchy mess now which obscures much of the rear view of th ship. Please can we have the old engines back 
I'll give you one more example of a currently beautifully designed and exquisitely looking ship to compare with what is about to thrown at us in the name of improved design within EVE Online. Go to your game client and bring up the graphical preview of the Hulk mining vessel. I realise you may hate mining to your inner core and never ever want to fly it but just look at the hull. The clean lines and detailed panels of differing colours. The way the 'ORE' symbol stands out against shiny magenta/rust coloured panels. It's just wonderful. There are many other beautiful ship designs currently but this is just one example of what we might be about to drop into the dustbin.
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. |

Market = The only way to get them is to buy them from other players (who got them before, and haven't injected the license) thank you for the fast answer and thank the gods of eve I bought 15 of them lmao
Hope you didn't pay too much for them as the design is a god-awful dull grey colour that no self-respecting miner would be seen dead flying. I suppose you will have 'ORE development edition' to read but that's about it. I suggest you buy one of the ORE jackets for your pilot which are very nice. |

I rest my case and ask for CCPs opinion on my comments. Web versions of the ships do not represent the actual in-game versions completely accurately. Nothing is changing to the in-client ships, they'll keep looking just as awesome.
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 |

Incorrect. I do run the highest settings BUT whichever settings you choose whether high or low will not change a ship with a pale dull blue wash across the whole hull into a ship with distinct and separate lovely shiny panels on it.
Therefore my observations still stand. It is worrying that I appear to be the only person that has noticed this. |

As someone else mentioned it would have been nice to have the SKINs system linked up to the corp standings mechanism. So you would have say 9.00 effective standings with a NPC corporation before you could fly a ship with their SKIN applied.
It would have been better as well if there was an option for people to make ships with a SKIN applied and then be able to sell that ship on to another pilot who did not have the SKIN injected. There would be much more interesting trade options then. Almost like having a manufacturers trade mark/build date applied but not quite.  |

Just wanted to say apologies for what I said in previous replies about the graphics on the new and existing SKINS. It appears the viewer in the dev blog was not giving the correct representation of the graphics. |
