I was wondering. Ship Skins are not unlike the camouflage used by Navy ships in WWII. perhaps there should be a bonus attached to using them...something like decreased signature radius...that would actually make them worth going out and getting. I mean for something other than sheer vanity. It could be varied based on who created it and could be on a graduated scale just like the current items which are on the market for faction and storyline items. |

How about no? These items are totally cosmetic items with no impact on ship stats whatsoever. Items you can buy for real money should, furthermore, never have an impact on ship stats.

Well, considering that you can buy PLEX with real money and sell it to buy anything in the game...I could use your point to remove all bonuses from every module...since effectively, everything can be bought with real money. |

That argument is terrible and you should feel bad for posting it.
Although you posted a pay to win idea in the first place, so you should already be feeling terrible. |

No, PLEX to get money from someone else in the game, but you cannot buy modules with RL money. With RL money bought PLEX also do not make your ship or modules better; they only facilitate your access to the game and a lazy-mode access to ISK instead of the grind. However, you can buy skins only with real money and not with ingame ISK. Every skin available int the ingame market was bought with RL money. Giving them ship stat impacts is like making character trading on Ebay or Gold buying from Ebay legal.
Please get yourself a working thinking organ before you post again.

Funny, I see ship skins in the market for isk...quite a few, actually.
But if you're that concerned, then make them only available as loot or on the market only. |

They have the same bonus ship camo in WW2 offered... lol.
Seriously, you should read about that stuff, its effectiveness is super questionable.
Also it does jack and squat against electronic sensors, which are what ships in space use to target each other.
Oh and no one should be forced to spend half a billion ISK to put a skin on their Frigate or be at a disadvantage. Just no. If you don't like cosmetics then don't buy them. No one's forcing you to. If you want them but can't justify it without a mechanical advantage... then that's kinda sad and I pity you a little. |

And what is the last thing we need in EVE? Buying ship stats with RL money.
@Cade Windstalker Very good points. But people seem to be so densely desperate these days to throw money at CCP for non-service they blatantly ignore all warning signs for their own downfall.

They are vanity items because they are pay for play. CCP wisely chose this route. It works well for games. Those who like this stuff and have the money...get a new look and nothing more. Those who don't like this stuff and/or don't have the spare money....aren't getting screwed over.
Halo + radius reducing links(soon boosts) + your SKIN idea....would change the game for a fair amount of ships. Pyfa/eft HG halo full sets and max booster reducing sig radius when bored. Even BS' slim down a bit this way.
that and SKIN is not even universal. IIRC for technical reasons T3 can't get this as an example. Nor do pirates, they get that paintjob and that's it, you can't change it. Even gurista boats which to me should be able to take a Caldari SKIN not much issue since not a wild departure from the non pirate ships there. Best you get there is to buy a victory bpc to mix it up for rattlesnake.
