And when will we get "SKINS" for our bodies, aka "new clothes"?
73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

Concepts look great. The ship skins needed more intensity to the colors. I especially like the raven skins. The current skins with the new lighting system all look far too washed out. The skin color intensity just wasn't made for the lighting system so some of the darker ships IMO looked far better in the old lighting system. Still miss the Serpentis skins back before the new system.
Also would be nice if they found a way average people could actually afford the new skins. The current market skins are way over-priced and their aurum counterparts not much better. No one wants to drop that much on a skin when they could get far more value in other items. |

I see the problem you guys are having with these skins, and it is quite a problem. I will be patient while you guys solve it, however I do have a suggestion for "where skins should be going" its great that there are faction skins for each race, and those faction skins for the race go on the races ships, for example lai dai is a skin that can be applied to caldari ships, (as lai dai is a corp in caldari so it makes sense caldari ships should have access to the lai dai skin.) however what I was hoping for with these skins is to repaint my abbadon, hyperion, armageddon, typhoon, and tempest all in standard caldari (cold steel gray hull with blue lights)
the point being I want to show off my faction pride in ships that i bought from other factions. |

The excuses for not making skins universal are underwheleming.
For the so-called quality assurance, if the skin looks bad on a ship then people just won't use it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and many may even find the black default texture desirable. After all, the person who will be seeing the skin they apply the most is the person who applied it.
For the T1 ships looking like T2 ships.. So? So what does that even matter? People don't get T2 ships because they look different, they get them because they perform different. Skins are skins. Just because an asset designer decided that that's how a T2 variant should look shouldn't impact the opinions of what players want T1 ships to look like.
If performance is a concern, just limit the number of ships on field that the client will apply skins to, or just the offending shader. There is a solution out there if anyone bothers finding one.
But it's okay, I know this is just CCP trying to placate people so they can make more money off their ridiculous micro transaction model. It must have been awfully inconvenient that that bug happened and got everyone's hopes up. I'm so fed up with it, I enjoy EVE but the years of corruption and incompetence and general not getting it has left me ambivalent at best. |

A Skin takes time and resources to make, regardless of what class of ship it is on. I fail to see why a frigate skin should be x cheaper than a capital skin. The same level of detail, quality assurance, performance testing, and implementation support goes into these things across the board. If you supported a platform, you would make damned sure what you were implementing not only matched your vision of quality, but also didn't create a need for more support hours than before. Perhaps the reason these things are so expensive is to temper the rollout of them (at least initially). Imagine frigate skins only costing 100 Aurum - then everyone would have them like a pokemon collection.
In any case, the artists/QA/Performance guys do not design the prices. Ease up on your critical tone, these folks are people too. If you do not like the product, then simply stop using it. |

To get faction SKINs to work properly cross race however would require basically remaking it and having the Quafe skin for Gallente and the Quafe skin for Caldari. That same effort could go into making new SKINs, which is what we have chosen to do at this time.
Victory Rattlesnake: Hopefully this summer, but no promise on that.
Could you at least open the skins up to matching race ships? Something like..... 'This skin was designed by x corporation for x ship, however they have extended it to all Caldari subcaps, though they make no promises it will create as fine a visual image.' That way players know that there might be the odd ship the skin applies poorly on.
You could also add in that skins get automatically disabled when a player enters TiDi, so as to avoid heavy server load in large ship battles from skin performance, which alleviates that issue.
Personally I'm happy to pay for a general skin I can use on many ships and will accept that it may not look as good on some of them in order to get that diversity. But the current one ship per skin range will not get me spending any real cash on this, though if I end up with spare isk it's possible I'd buy something on the market.
TLDR. More people will buy if it's at least an entire races ships, even if some of the skins cause the occasional visual bug, but all the bugs (rather than not quite as obvious corp skins) you've shown have been cross race ships, so a racial restriction would avoid most of that. |

Yes, please put the SKINs pricing through tiericide. Right now the pricing structure is very, very inconsistent. Example: Aeon Khanid Skin: 4,300 AUR Aeon Sarum Skin: 6,500 AUR
Which would seem to imply that Sarum skins are more valuable/pricey But then we see: Oracle Khanid Skin: 4,300 AUR Oracle Sarum Skin: 2,830 AUR 1, Then we also have the fact the the pricing seems to be unrelated to the ship hull size as well: Avatar Khanid Skin: 6,500 AUR Aeon Khanid Skin: 4,300 AUR Apocalypse Khanid Skin: 4,300 AUR Oracle Khanid Skin: 4,300 AUR Harbringer Khanid Skin: 2,830 AUR Augoror Khanid Skin: 2,830 AUR Dragoon Khanid Skin: 2,390 AUR Inquisitor Khanid Skin: 1,540 AUR
It seems like pricing was randomly chosen without respect to similar hulls or similar skins relative value to each other. The word "maddening" comes to mind.

I have some wishes. First, cheaper pricing. Second, shark pattern and tiger stripes SKINs for my Tengus. Obviously those are separate ones, between which I would alternate.

I'm not trying to be terrible about it, I have strong opinions about this because I've been affected by it for years and I just kept my mouth shut and kept playing the game. CCP has made a lot of mistakes, and as an entity it needs to continually listen to the community, even the bittervet rabble.
They can't give please everyone and it's okay if they don't end up giving me what I want, but what I want is for CCP to sit down and really reconsider how they're doing microtransactions and cosmetic items in general.
Cosmetic items are about fun, you're just having fun with things, and microtransactions is the currency by which you perpetually buy the fun to consume. The bug that made ship skins applicable to all ships was so, so fun, because it was closer to what ship customization should be.
Just let us set colors and things on our own ships, let our own dreams come alive. T'amber had the most amazing mock-ups and while they were shooting a little high it's all still an amazing idea in a more conservative form. Not that the skins CCP are offering now aren't amazing, they absolutely are, but maybe we all have better ideas of what looks amazing on our demigod's chariot. |

If you kill a capsuleer often enough in rapid succession, there is no place to teleport your brain back to, so you would need to be lucky if that information is stored in a buffer somewhere... and survive intact.
Those are just the tip of the iceberg. Capsuleer lore and how they work in game are both flawed beyond recognition, and any argument based on this is automatically just as flawed as well. Suspension of disbelief and "game first, lore later" is the only reason why this works and is accepted.

Well, CCP managed to miss twice the right way to implement spaceship paintjobs in their spaceships game...
First, they tried with destructable ship skins which modified the ship into a separate entity. We are supposed to trust them that this worked well enough as to go and give a second try which made a bit more of sense...
Second shot has been to implement permanent licenses which modify the ship cosmethics. This is a huge improvement since destructable cosmethics are not in the top 10,000 of most sold microtransaction items ever. But, alas!, CCP has been exposed to be "cheating" with the price structure and the actual amount of artwork delivered with each SKIN. Since there is no sensible reason why a license costs 300% more than another license for a similar ship, nor why small ships are more expensive than large ships, nor why should players pay for the exact same procedural skin slightly tweaked to work on another ship, rather than buy truly custom texture sets for each individual ship.
I guess that there will not be a third shot at this. So we will never get CHEAP flat-rate, per ship class licenses with a INGAME COST to apply proportional to ship size. So in order to paint a Titan you need a license (a cheap one) and an amount of ISK to do the "physical" paintjob itself (and then that paintjob becomes a part of the ship's killmail... a tiny part, but a part nonetheless).
Anyway, I don't really care about SKINs as they are now. There's so few of them, and often a single one for each ship class, and all in all they all are just stupid procedural stuff, not actual texture maps that improve the ship's appearence. Procedural mapping can hardly better the results of actually thinking "how would you paint this logo/scheme on this ship". Then maybe the Kaalakiota Golem would have the red double chevron on top of the right wing and a similar one below the left wing, rather than a have a single red double chevron splattered all over its top surface because hey, that's what the Kaalakiota procedural map does...
And of course, I'd rather customize my unique human avatar, than a ship that looks exactly like any other ship of the same class/SKIN... supposing that someone ever zooms on it to give it a peek for whatever reason.
73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

I would really like this c: Not only does it add a direly needed ISK sink but it is a sensible approach to it. But I do think we will see a third iteration of ship skins. Here is why;
We've seen how the technology exists in the engine to put any skin on any ship, but not all of them look good doing so. Which means further tweaks will need to be done to them. That means in the future there will be a time when there is either a more sensible way for the engine to automatically apply colours and decals, or everything has been adjusted manually. At that point, or even earlier, it would be a lot smarter to condense the skins to a generic license. For example; "Gallente Frigate Interbus license". You buy the license, and apply it to any of your Gallente frigates. Once done, it will unlock this skin for this type of frigate, let's say the Incursus. If you want to have another Gallente Interbus frigate, you need to buy the generic license again. This can be broadened into "Gallente Interbus" or "Frigate Interbus" or simply... "Interbus ship paint license" to apply on whatever ship you want. I do think we will keep within a faction setting though. Then again, this makes it difficult for other people who "changed sides" to properly identify with their new affiliation. Gurista Apocalypse? Innerzone Thrasher?
I wouldn't have minded an additional, destructible version of the skins. In fact, I often suggested to do both. Have the "unlimited" skin being more expensive to unlock forever at will like we have now, but have a slot in the ship that allows for a regular destructible skin to be slotted. You could unslot the skin again to sell it, but if your ship explodes, the skin is automatically destroyed, like rigs. So you would buy the skin depending on your playing preference and slot it.
I still think we need to be able to "revoke" the licenses for skins to sell them on the market again.
But the continued seeding of new skins gives me hope that we will see another revision of it c: |
