Really should have been a SKIN module slot that you could put SKINs onto whatever ships, and each SKIN would fit for multiple ships either by race or by ship class, instead of having to buy a SKIN for each individual hull. This would also more easily have applied to the day (if it ever comes) where corps can have a corp SKIN... cause with your wondrous SKIN system they would have to have a SKIN for each and every single hull variation, and hopefully they wouldn't have to buy each one.
Also, who cares if a T1 ship has the same colors as a T2 ship? Thats like saying if a player ship has the same SKIN as an NPC ship it would lead to confusion. Or if a player ship had the same icon as a NPC ship, oh wait... But seriously, if someone is basing their gameplay decisions on the color of the ship is playing the game 2000% the wrong way, and would die in a fire no matter what color any of the ships were.
And can we get any metrics on how the purchasing of SKINs from the NEX has gone since the price/infinite use changes? Or like if anyone has bought one of the $35 frigate SKINs yet?
The current plan is to have 4 families of SKINs (2 Caldari, 2 Minmatar) which will be available for a variety of hulls in the initial release.
The SKIN system you propose would be a tremendous amount of QA for each SKIN released. There is nothing stopping us in the future, once SKIN lines are more fleshed out, from selling a single SKIN that applies to multiple ships. Corp-wide SKINs will probably work slightly differently when it comes to the corp purchasing and activating a SKIN. The implementation on the user end would be the same as the current system. While you;re in the corp you have access to the active corp SKIN in your fitting window, or some variation of that.
We care if the ships are the same colour. EVE has enough complex and confusing systems without adding ships that look the same but are completely different. It's also a good form of future-proofing.
I can't give out any solid metrics on SKINs sales. However a cursory glace at the SKINs in Jita show sell orders for every SKIN I looked at, including all of the frigates.

Xindi Kraid wrote:Well as far as making sure T2 and T1 ships don't look the same, I think you need to make sure the ships have different geometry.
The Moa redo is an excellent example of this, even if they didn't have any textures you can tell the variants apart. other ships got left out, Cerberus doesn't have a separate model, and other ships like the Crane also lost their unique models some time ago. If that gets rectified, and ships differ by more than just a few thrusters and spikes, sharing a texture shouldn't be a problem.
Those are basically our thoughts as well.

And please, get rid of the overview icons. They are an eyesore.
Otherwise, keep up the good work. Still love this game.
Wrong team for the overview :P
Also you may be waiting a while for that Hello Kitty Kestrel.

Yes.

MONEY AND PRICES
Ccp tell us about this
It's an ongoing process that's still happening. CCP Thomas sits right behind me, we talk fairly often, and try to keep each other up to date. If we feel the data supports a shift in our pricing scheme, we will modify our pricing scheme and let players know.

Rowells wrote:Maybe this has been answered, but is it possible to have pack of existing skins sold together at a discounted rate? Particularly similar ones across different ships, classes, etc.
Bundles are possible both in the NES and on the item itself. We'll be expanding and experimenting with the bundle range in the future.
