Instead of develop a completely new thing that "might" not be the long term end goal and will be replaced eventually? I would say that all of our engineering work since last year in art/graphics has been about fixing and removing these constraints, in a way that builds for the long-term. However, releasing this work in stages ensures that we don't spend the better part of a year working on some huge, high-risk change that turns out not to be workable in the end. So you are purposely splitting your development resources towards temporary implementations into current "non-optimal" designs? The point was why not just focus on these constraints now that you have long ago proven that players want customized ships, instead of also continuing to work on non-optimal ways to deploy new skins in the current system?
What split is occurring here realistically? Maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't think continued work on SIKN color mapping and QA didn't invoke the same skillset as rebuilding the way the game handles art and graphics. Obviously s system which renders the same hull with different colors is necessary to get to full customization so no work to create SKINs in that aspect is wasted.
Or are you arguing that the extra steps taken to push that specific capability out are delaying further backend developments? If so I'd similarly question the overlap to the refactoring itself and any actual loss. |

No, that's not what we're doing.

What happened to the skin customization tools that were demonstrated at the Fanfest 2014 Art Panel? I mean, I'm hoping the ultimate outcome of all this experimentation will be to allow the creation of a corporate-wide or alliance-wide aesthetic that gives each ship regardless of faction a unified palette.

I second this question with this video excerpt of the FF 2014 Art Panel, the full length demonstration video of this early prototype.

Are you taking into account those that supported the skin program early on and bought incredibly expensive skins with real cash that turned out to have very little value in game? |

I'd have thought it's pretty clear by now that CCP doesn't give a **** about your market speculations. You speculate at your own risk.

What was behind the **** you just posted paaalease say it again. 
No they've been very quiet actually which is why inquiring minds want to know if CCP values those willing to spend real $$$ which supports the company...which anyone who has a brain knows is what skins are really about.  *wink |

The new SKINS introduced this month are very lackluster.
First of all, adding just 4 new NPC Corp skins for all the newly skinned hulls just makes them all generic. Why would I want to spend any money so that the ships I can fly all look alike?
EoM looks too much like Kador.
Why would I want to replace the sexy Khanid Curse skins with EoM?
Justice and Wiyrkomi look like the same shade of green.
Intaki colors are the only ones that have any sex appeal. I'll probably pick up Intaki skins for some of my fave Gallente T2 hulls. But the other three races are a step down from the default T2 hull skin, in most cases.
I liked the Marauder skin set. That set of skins was mostly unique to the Marauder class. The Police Kronos and Blood Paladin are amazing looking.
Black Ops ships all have cool skins by default and the new skins are worse-looking in every case. Thukker Panther - why would I want to give it Justice green, and pay cash to do so? Kaalakiota Widow - sex on wheels. Wiyrkomi Widow - blech.
Same with Command Ships.
Minmatar skins overall are undistinguished.
I hope more variety is released soon. |

Was it really too much effort too make better skins for the Rhea jumpfreighter ? Now it just looks like a common Charon. That green skin is really dull, if you could reintroduce the blue camo skin from the past, then I would happily buy it. Or the red camo Nugoeihuvi skin for the Rhea like the one for the Caracal, that would be awesome. |

I'm sorry to say i'm kinda dissapointed Gallente skins are only "Intaki Syndicate" and "Interbus", which curiously are not exactly "Federation" skins per se.
How about some Impetus or Fedmart or Transtellar Shipping skins?
I understand you cannot use Roden, Creodron or Duvolle as they are the basis for T2 ships paintwork...but there is more stuff out there. |

They're seeding the sucky colors first, so they don't look as bad next to more striking colors like white and black.

I thought CCP just hated the Caldari.
Wiyrkomi Corporation? Serously? I suppose it could have been Lai Dai Corporation ...

It might be my settings, but my Lai Dai Moa is brown and black instead of brown and orange, which would be ok.

There is a way they could input new skins within the game that would not flood the market and would add to the PvE side of the game.
Have corporations give out skins for Loyalty Points. The skins could be in the company colours. This would add a nice twist to running missions, whilst increasing skin variation. |
