Li Ya Minmatar Brutor tribe	Posted - 2009.12.31 21:18:00 - [151] Originally by: Cassius Hawkeye I would like to see your corp or alliance's "badge" on the side of all ships you pilot, in a decal format. It could be fariyl easily controlled, and would give a lovely florish to the game. A real sense of "belonging" to a corp or alliance. This I totaly agree with! Please make this happen! Every corp have a symbol already, so it whould be fairly simple to apply it to all the ships right..?
Swish3r	Posted - 2009.12.31 22:23:00 - [152] I think in one of the releases, maybe apocrypha, they were supposed to add corp/alliance icons to the sides of ships. They can add that, or add a choice of sprays that you could move around, or allow you to import your own .png but would only be visible to other players if they choose 'look at' on your ship, much like how we retrieve character portraits. But currently ship textures are so ugly I would rather the ppl that would work on these just make better looking ships...
AsheraII	Posted - 2010.01.01 09:12:00 - [153] Originally by: Tolomea Withen a week you'd find that everywhere you go you are passing ships painted with genitalia Painted WITH genitalia? I'm definitely sure some ships would then resemble genitalia even more than they do now..
Daugar Draaken	Posted - 2010.01.02 19:34:00 - [154] /signed, but please keep it limited to standardized icons, decals and motiffs, NOT ships wearing symbols of homer, brittney or other contemporary crap. No pink ships, unless its very cool. Also - let players earn (unlock) cool decalling patterns by achievements.
Drago Sorian	Posted - 2010.01.02 20:08:00 - [155] Ok if there was a path deticated to one idea, ONE. This would be it for me. The abilaty to have a fleet copreation uniform colour set andd insgnia, or just pimp out your ship to be your self. These are ideas that get players telling other potential players about how cool this game is. I would LOVE to be able to at least pick a primary colour, a secondary, and a trim. PvP pirates or saviors would like nothing less than to have thier insignia's reconised on news reports, bounty papers, and the like. To be RECONISED on site in space or on a forum thats big to alot of people. Corperations and alliances would look at thier insginia and ship colours with pride. Individuals would be all the more able to say, "This, is, MY SHIP! This is who I am! Remember it!" And do it with more than just a corp name or ship name. We know "Rats" have their own look. We know expensive "Custome" ships usualy come with thier own paint job. Why not let a player be able to make a few simple and basic choises for her (ex) favorite Comorant?
Orgust Brem	Posted - 2010.01.02 20:16:00 - [156] if there will be black, most players will paint their ships black and so on. Thought about this from the first days. There may be partial plates on the ship, what may be covered with a color nuance. Color nuance should be about 4 to 8 colors (due to the mass of informations send to every client only some bits should be used). Would be nice, but I guess most would use freaky colors, if none are suggested /signed, *if using four to eight suggested colors on partial ship-content* which are suiting to the ship**
Seraphim000	Posted - 2010.01.13 18:53:00 - [157] Make ship painting something that can be done at stations like other services. Make it expensive. Finally, implement a means of reporting offensive paintjobs, which would put them up for review.
Turmeric Jones Galactic Destiny Machine Tear Extraction And Reclamation Service	Posted - 2010.02.03 18:59:00 - [158] Player made skins obviously cannot work, but having NPC-done paintjobs would be awesome. The idea of a matte black rifter with some chrome trim or flames or an iridescent ****pit screen makes even my grandma a bit peckish.
Samantha U	Posted - 2010.02.03 19:15:00 - [159] Originally by: Turmeric Jones Player made skins obviously cannot work, but having NPC-done paintjobs would be awesome. The idea of a matte black rifter with some chrome trim or flames or an iridescent ****pit screen makes even my grandma a bit peckish. And this is the reason why I hope they never implement it.
Flying ZombieJesus	Posted - 2010.02.03 20:32:00 - [160] flesh toned thoraxes, maybe some purple highliting, some pinker shade near the nosecone. Sweeeeeet
Altaica Amur Aliastra	Posted - 2010.02.03 20:48:00 - [161] I still likes this idea and still think that the HW2 approach would prevent excessive lag in keeping the amount of data attached to each player to two hex color codes, one for main color another for highlights/stripes. Homeworld Colors Homeworld Colors Homeworld Colors
Commander Chromus	Posted - 2010.03.11 20:57:00 - [162] How about a develpment to that ship skins idea. How about completely player-made ships with a tab at the side of parts to add, and custom ship skins and such. That would stop 13yo being able to do wierd stuff with ships because the parts are pre-made (though i do agree with the whole custom wierd 13yo custom skin problem, which could be hard to tackle). The price would depend on how good the ship is (with fighting strength, power, speed and warp speed, defense etc.) and the region it is made in.
Yascherrica JR	Posted - 2010.03.12 12:27:00 - [163] Making you're ship a bit unique is a really cool idea. Many people whould like to use this ability. Implement skills, high prices, whatever u need just to get away from those pink, ugly and unappriciated skins but give the ability to people to create, to express themselves. Let us make corp ship skins as we do corp fittings presets. Let us fly the ships we want. EVE is not only about making ISK and killing everybody. It's also an amazing beatifull world of spacestations, spaceships and stuff around it. Latest expantion made us look at beautifull planets, so why not at least try to get rid of those old ship's colours and make smth new and more personal? Don't allow it to everybody, but give this ability to atleast one or two people in a corp. I.E. u can change the look of a ship only if u have a licence and a certain role in corp. some ugly ships: I can't get, why navy ships should have a green comouflage skin??? Why? It's used in real life to make an object less noticable, but why green in space? Make it black and red for example... Add a button do disable all ship's visualisations for those crying of a massive lag in fleet PvP or Jita 4-4. And we defenetely don't need to upload personal skins. "Need for Speed" visualisation system will be much more than enogh. To limit the flying gens just petition those ships and players. U can hear many bad things in voice chat, read it in local or/and ship and char's names... and if a "report" button is not enough, make real money paiments for the ability to colour ships on an anual basis. 13yo wont pay aditional 15-20 USD just for this funy flying pink d*cks... Sorry for my bad English.

Oh sweet... so I can get a cool crome spinners by say, mining a set amount of roids, or truck-nuts for doing 2billion damage total with missils.....

Yascherrica JR	Posted - 2010.03.15 07:40:00 - [165] Edited by: Yascherrica JR on 15/03/2010 07:45:05 Originally by: Jint Hikaru Quote: make real money paiments for the ability to colour ships on an anual basis. 13yo wont pay aditional 15-20 USD just for this funy flying pink d*cks... But someone will.... and then Eve's great looking universe will turn into a joke. I wasn't saying about player made skins. Just some combos of preset teamplates with adjustable colors. Nothing more. Edit: Eve's universe becoming dull and boring with all ships mainly alike in color layouts IMO...
Face612	Posted - 2010.03.17 20:40:00 - [166] Edited by: Face612 on 17/03/2010 20:45:27 Originally by: Jint Hikaru Quote: make real money paiments for the ability to colour ships on an anual basis. 13yo wont pay aditional 15-20 USD just for this funy flying pink dcks... But someone will.... and then Eve's great looking universe will turn into a joke. make those colors not an option. there, done. player uploaded skins is a bad idea, player chosen color combo's (like every MMO that ever happened)is a great idea. FFS, EVERY SHIP LOOKS IDENTICAL TO THE NEXT, IT IS BORING AND UNREALISTIC. Quote:* Also - let players earn (unlock) cool decalling patterns by achievements. Oh sweet... so I can get a cool crome spinners by say, mining a set amount of roids, or truck-nuts for doing 2billion damage total with missils..... I highly doubt this was his intention. think more along the lines of a stripe (like on cal ships) or cammo type patterns (like on faction ships) or simply a main/highlight difference (like on gal and armarr ships). with the corp logo put where the racial logo normally is. classy, tasteful, realistic, way less boring. Quote: Please go play a Cryptic game if you want this! quit trolling.
Face612	Posted - 2010.03.17 20:54:00 - [167] seriously though, this thread has been necroed for THREE YEARS, it is obviously a feature people want, have wanted for a long time, and can't possibly be that hard to implement considering it has been done in nearly every other MMO ever. can we get some love on this please? or maybe a dev telling us "we heard you, we are/are not listening to this so STFU". Hey CCP, you out there? a three year old 6 page thread is asking for your attention. can you maybe give us some feed back here?
RootEmerger	Posted - 2010.03.17 21:34:00 - [168] each skin, 3 mb a fleet, 500+500 players needing to load 3gb of player-made *****es each time you change grid, priceless
Doc Mexallon	Posted - 2010.03.18 07:03:00 - [169] I would be extremely grateful if I could just colour my Apoc in EoM colours, or my Omen in Sarum Navy colours, or my Dominix in Serpentis (or better, Rogue Drone) colours. If there's concern about custom colours using too many resources or being abused, surely the option of getting an in-job paintscheme can't be that difficult?
Aregnal	Posted - 2010.04.06 02:12:00 - [170] Originally by: RootEmerger each skin, 3 mb a fleet, 500+500 players needing to load 3gb of player-made *****es each time you change grid, priceless i dont know if this could work but it might, every ship will have pre-defined color-shade slots of various shades , only shades to prevent crazy players from making contrast-pink ship, lets say for every ship there will be 5 shades for every ship, already included game-data on your hdd, as someone said- amarr yellow tones, gallente- green tones, caldari- blue tones,minmatar- red tones, but also exceptions like caldari green tone or gallente blue tone,it would take more hdd space but see this, as i said there will be predefined variants of ship skins saved in your disc, if you choose one ingame,it will, lets say turn value on 1 instead of 0(default not-colored), so you will just recieve those number data instead of full 3mb skins and it will show the shade enabled by number(on others players ships),i dont know if it could work, please reply how do you see this, i apologize if i was thinking incorrectly.thanks
Seby Caldari OMICRON HighTech Development	Posted - 2010.04.12 09:29:00 - [171] Can you stop with this crazy idea? I really don't want to see a crap load of ugly player made skins. In my opinion only teenagers can come with this ideas ... Do you imagine getting out of station and see all around red, pink and who knows what other exclamations written on the ship. Come on guys, be serious ... This is the best improvement you could wish from CCP? ************************************************************** The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
lookatzebirdie	Posted - 2010.04.12 11:46:00 - [172] Edited by: lookatzebirdie on 12/04/2010 11:46:18 yes, please add massive amounts of lag to an already laggy game so I can look at pink hurricanes with one or more of the following displayed in lime green letters "gay" "ZOMG" "PWNT" "no u!" "xXx"
Lithikus	Posted - 2010.04.14 03:06:00 - [173] I agree with Lil Mule's post on this. I have been threatened already a couple times by CCP admins and snooty players for re-posting this topic. I only keep re-posting because: A.) No one reads sticky's on a forum. B.) Most people have free reign on forums (i.e. me administrator of several websites) C.) and I like the attention Speaking of attention! I think this topic deserves more. If I pay for something my suggestions should not be ignored or thrown to the wind by skeptics or non-believers! Our ideas should be heard instead of cast aside. I do not care if a lead artist, head programmer, or whoever says that they can't reduce lag or implement clever programming to fix any issues that may come with said idea. I wanna see it done! I create models with Maya and XSI mod tool too ya know and creating graphics for models is half the fun of them (CCP probably has a better or custom software ). This is a very very feasible idea and it could be implemented. CCP keeps dodging this idea and like a run away semi on the highway and its bugging me and my corp mates. The players of EvE are being heard, but perhaps ignored on this. CCP I could care less about planetary interaction. I would be happier if I could paint my ship. That is what I say. All that really needs to be done is simple layers or paint schemes that flow with the ship models like Lil Mule said. Schemes, layers, or predefined shapes which have no offensive or rude things (as suggested by concerned players) and cannot be made into such. Besides CCP can't hide from this forever its going to come up again and again until they introduce more corp/player individuality via this idea. The corp logo designer is as lame as watching tv instead of playing eve and the ships all look the same. Even a nice logo content update would be fantastic. This is a good idea and it deserves much more attention. In Summation CCP is denying the fact that this has been done before in multiple MMO's albeit different genre's and what have you. And whats funny about it is that creativity and innovation drive their company to make this game what it is. I Lithikus challenge you (CCP) to make this work. My Terms: You cannot abandon the idea You cannot complain about it If it cannot be done then you must send a very descriptive and in depth answer with reasons why it will not work with your hardware, my hardware, your servers, my servers, my cheerios, your cheerios, the kitchen sink, etc. If you accept my challenge and successfully make it work i will never complain again. Alternative: Introduce a massive customization patch with predefined themes for both corp/player customization IT MUST BE DONE! I NEED SHARK TEETH ON MY SHIP AND CORP NEEDS A NEW PAIR OF SHOES (logo)! Moderate that CCP. BTW I love your game hehe. That's all I have to say about that.
Tornicks Caldari U-208 Blade.	Posted - 2010.04.16 18:03:00 - [174] No to player-made skins. Yes to corporation/alliance logos on ships. -- 'Non-essential personnel, abandon ship.' Admiral Yakiya Tovil-Toba's last command, CE23155
Keine Arvok	Posted - 2010.04.23 20:36:00 - [175] I would love to at least pick the color of my ships and drones
Marcus Gillian	Posted - 2010.04.27 10:45:00 - [176] Originally by: Lil Mule Walking down the sidewalk, thinking about EVE as I often do, the thought occurred to me about how cool it would be to have player made ship skins. Perhaps this idea has come up before, perhaps not. How cool would it be to have your own ship look, perhaps one common for your corp or alliance? Often times in real life, the look of your enemy can be just as intimidating as what they do/say/ A lot of online games have customizable skins, and in my limited understanding of how difficult this would be, it seems like a pretty easy thing to do. Simply create the skin for the ship type, drop it in the correct folder, and it should be uploaded. I know Tribes 2 had an extensive skin modding option in it, and while challenging for some less skilled players like me, it seemed to work pretty well. Anyhoo - a neat thing I'd like to see in the game that would pretty exciting for most players. I just posted this idea in another area! I liked the way you could customize ship appearance in Homeworld which came out in 1998! There were limits such as hue and chroma, logo's, etc. That would be enough in EVE and as we all know, everyone likes to customize their rides!
Gelvina	Posted - 2010.04.30 13:51:00 - [177] No no no no!!! Yes custom skins sounds cool but in reality its a very very bad idea. Here are some reasons: 1. You think grid load times and lag is bad now? What wil it be like if you have to download 100 custom ship skins first? Wil in the end just mean the feature is disabled about anybody serious about the game. 2. this WILL probably turn eve into ****o-online. nuff said. 3. I don't wana look at player's half ass stupid "custom" designs.. I'll rather have my eve look authentic as its designed to look like by CCP's art department. 4. If you implement this is some limited fashion.. then you wil only end up with a limited set of skins that looks like they've been made by a 2-year old. 5. more different skins on different ships puts a very heavy load on on PC for rendering purposes. In effect this wil kick out more people with bottom end PCs without added any real benefit to the game. There are a 100 other things CCP can do to improve the game other than this.
wiersma Caldari Exo corporation	Posted - 2010.04.30 14:41:00 - [178] Painting ships can be done without lag. by putting the choise to the users.. you can upload your hips to the client itself. so only you can see the painted ships.. this way you can only download and install custom texture sets you like. for example. ccp makes a ship painting tool. you can paint your ship the way you like it. then make a little website that offers textures to download. everyone can choose to download the textures they like and put them in the eve client. so if someone decides to paint a thorax pink with spots. you dont have to download it if you dont want to see it..this way all the painings stay client side and do not cause lag at all. ================================================ Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from SPACE... :-P
PR0JECT 2501 Section Nine	Posted - 2010.04.30 14:46:00 - [179] I think there is scope for some custom stuff with ship skins. If... - It's limited to a few panels - It's done in a way similar to corp logo's where you can pic and arrange stuff on a panel section, change colours etc - Perhaps only availible on a few ship classes, like t1 frigs-bs? all ships could have 1 panel for a corp/alliance logo - It 'voids your warranty' on the ship, making it un-insurable, putting people off doing it for pvp - You can set your client to ignore it all, preventing any extra lag Definately shouldnt be a free for all upload your own skin thing, as many above have said, that'd suk.
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2010.04.30 15:00:00 - [180] Originally by: wiersma crap It isn't downloading the textures that is slow, it is downloading the data that indicates that a ship has been painted and with what. Originally by: PR0JECT 2501 - It's limited to a few panels - It's done in a way similar to corp logo's where you can pic and arrange stuff on a panel section, change colours etc Changes nothing, still adding more data that needs to be propagated. Originally by: PR0JECT 2501 - You can set your client to ignore it all, preventing any extra lag The server still has to send it. - I wish I was a three foot tall doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes
