A paintshop for ships would be nice so you could get:
#1: Corp logo on ships
#2: Manufacturer corp/person (could be permanent)
#3: Possibly a series of designs, ie. a cobalt blue or black pearl Maller would be very cool.

The idea has already been discussed, it makes too many unsolved issues so it was dropped. I myself had the topic started!
Cheers!

As it is now, graphics for your ship are loaded from your pc. To add art to ships means you would have to download data from network for every ship you come across. That'll really increase the lag, I'll take the plain ship design for faster performance.

I know where you are heading, allthough totally custom bitmaps would be cool, that is not what I am suggesting.
Im suggesting that corplogos (these are created by mixing 3 layers of icons everyone has) So no added bandwidth need for this (you allready know wh the person/corp is so..)
Secodnly a 'paintjob' would be getting the whoel ship (or the natural segments/areas) tinted, ie: chrome, black pearl etc.
Many colour variations allready exist for different faction ships again no should be introduced beside the time it takes you machine/gfx to initialize the texture that allready resides on your hd.
Manufacturer id, agan this would be a text (corplogo) same argument as above.
--------------
Ok now heres the real question: WHY?
Because being able to personalize ships (stuff generally) will take the game to a new level, giving ppl an incentive... It should be 'fairly expensive' to get the more cool modifications.

You might have noticed that posts move to the top when they are updated?
Thus when I posted this originally there was no other thread anywhere close, and since the forum still doesnt have a search function ...
Chill out and go pod some more noobs!

you can customize the skin of the ships with your corp logo .. but then all ship of same type have the logo. but only visible to you/your client.

I like it. Even a few different colour schemes+corp logo would be nice. Since it's all preset, you don't need to worry about really long load times for custom skins/people painting their ships with things they shouldn't  .

for the more bloodthristy it might be possible to add a 'killmarker' modification.
it should be excessively expensive since its a showoff thing, but then it should automatically put a cranium or whatever per kill?

Custom designs would make for little or no lag at all.
What would happen would that you download a very small file into your game folder relating to that character, and everytime that person is viewed it loads the file from cache.
Although whole ship designs may be a bit too much to be feasible, even just corp logos would be very easy to implement, as all the pictures for the corp are already in the game.
If anyone has played the mmorpg: Planetside, you would see what I mean about Outfit Decals on the vehicles.

Further to my post, yes, if all the designs and colour schemes are preset into the game, then there shouldn't be any problems at all.

I always thought it could be cool with a spitfire type shark teeth design for some of the ships
perhaps and eagle one aswell?
