Angmar Da'Kirith	Posted - 2007.10.05 15:51:00 - [1] Hi! I think it's very kind and democratic that CCP make a poll open to everyone about selecting the hull and color for the new ships. CCP can choose the hull and the color and we choose which ship for which role, I think it is doable. For example, I really don't understand why a brick like the Dominix can be a black ops, instead the mega is much better and so the hyperion as a marauder. Each bonus can be transfered to the new ship easily, what do you think? Thanks
Empyre Domestic Reform Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.10.05 16:13:00 - [2] i'm all for more visual customization of ships if it is possible without creating more lag. if they can work it, i wouldn't mind being able to strap a corpse or two of an enemy onto the front of my hull. Please stop messing with my signature!!!

Sheriff Jones Amarr Please Enter Password	Posted - 2007.10.05 16:17:00 - [4] I'm not sure it would be that "easy" as just "click" and done. Have to think of the images, bpo/c, and most likely, other...stuff. I think it's rather "fitting", RP wise especially, how the ships are. Imagine a khanid skin on a non missile boat(these days), just seems, wrong. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Angmar Da'Kirith	Posted - 2007.10.05 16:25:00 - [5] Probably you are right the time isn't so much, but I really like the idea of some player's democrathic choises about something (different from nerf this, nerf that) in this game and graphics/color of the ships is a simple one. Just read the whine about gallente pink color or ship selection for the black ops role etc.
Kagura Nikon Minmatar MASS HOMICIDE Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.05 16:49:00 - [6] From where in hell did you got the idea this is a democracy? Eve is not a democracy. If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough
Vincire Caldari Genco Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.05 16:56:00 - [7] I'd be happy if we could just repaint our ships. I sometimes get tired of the same old color schemes.
Tortun Nahme Minmatar Heimatar Services Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.10.05 16:58:00 - [8] ships have colours? Originally by: Akita T No, it's a trap ! I can tell from some of the modules and from seeing quite a few traps in my time...
Xoria Krint The Movement	Posted - 2007.10.05 17:00:00 - [9] imagine how fin it is for CCP to do the new ships. I think they should keep it that way. They are the ones develop this game not the community. - My Movies
Tegashi	Posted - 2007.10.05 17:02:00 - [10] If you stare at it long enough. I think it would be quite cool to have the ability to paint your ships differently, maybe change out the racial logo for your corp/alliance emblem. Ive grown a bit board with the drab gunmetal gray of my Drake or the rusty junkyard appearance of my Hurricane :)

They are the ones develop this game not the community. Yes, they are for new game mechanics and so on, but something like graphics/colors that are marginal (I don't want new ships, just choose the current hull), why not? Do they prefer whining about Dominx=brick or new thorax pink? I hope that CCP are developing new hull for the new ships, that is my last hope :)
franny Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2007.10.05 17:13:00 - [12] it's a domi, it should have gone to creodon PKKP recruitment

AeonPhoenix	Posted - 2007.10.05 17:22:00 - [14] I think you should be able to make the logo on the ship rather big, and stick some stripes and stuff and decals on that, but you deffo shouldnt be allowed or able to alter or paint over the base color of the ship to any large degree, it's what defines what class of ship it is for a lot of them.

Lord Dynastron Mystical Knights Legionnaire Services Ltd.	Posted - 2007.10.05 17:39:00 - [16] I like the dog-wiener-pink of the new Gallente Thorax variant
Futureface01 Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.10.05 17:51:00 - [17] You can have the thorax in any color, so long as its pink.
Arretu	Posted - 2007.10.05 18:38:00 - [18] why not do it like on SWG? just an idea but on SWG while you couldn't select different hulls, different components had different looks. whilst this is not feasible on EVE due to the vastly increased number of ship parts, another thing SWG did is allow you to have 'decals' for your ship. you could select style and colour (I will spell it colour no matter what American spell checkers think) of the decal. worked well.
MasterEnt	Posted - 2007.10.05 21:37:00 - [19] I am all for custom logos and scrring, but entire colors!!?? Please no... I simply do not trust peoples aesthetics enough. EVE is a beautiful game and I would seriously be detracted by a metallic pink ship with green polka dots running through the cold depths of space. LAME
Abrazzar	Posted - 2007.10.05 23:31:00 - [20] I would like to see certain parts of the ships to have choosable colors. For examplethe non-metallic parts on Amarr ships. The textures to choose from are predetermined, so inhumanly cruel color compositions are not possible. Corp and alliance logos at certain places would be cool, too. Thing is that the texture choice is transmittable with a very small amount of data to minimize the possible lag it can cause. A patch with all the custom textures though might be a little big. Using calculated textures or a additional texture layer over the current one might decrease the gigabytes to tolerable levels for downloading. Modifying the model via texture mapping is a DX10 ability only, though, iirc. So I guess we might see that in Rev IV or V.

Hunters Presence Amarr The DARLEXS Knights Of the Southerncross	Posted - 2007.10.06 01:15:00 - [21] Originally by: Sheriff Jones It's the number 1 pet peeve among graphic artists, modelers and such. Which is precisely why designers, and often even programmers, get authority to override the decisions of graphics designers in most studios. They consider themselves far more essential than they actually are. Shine sells, but it does not a game make.
albert camus Corp 1 Allstars Insurgency	Posted - 2007.10.06 01:23:00 - [22] May i remind people what else comes with rev 3? graphics overhaul on the ships. All the models currently used could just be old things that have no relevance to the new skins since ccp might not want to add them to the old engine as its a waste of time/effort thay may need else where.
SirMoric	Posted - 2007.10.06 01:31:00 - [23] I agree, it would be great if we could paint sharkgrins on our ships and so forth. And I'll second this as well. On the other hand, to keep the amount of traffic to and from the servers as low as possible and same goes for loading times, I for one don't mind standard appearances. rgds
codex09 Minmatar Cold-Fury Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.06 01:33:00 - [24] I might be wrong but isn't that what people do while testing new things on the test server? I agree with you that a few of the ships have horrible color schemes and I will personally be adding my 2 cents worth to any suggestion threads for these ships, which is what the OP should also do. So be proactive and join us on the test server to test these new ships when they become available for testing, then just do what many other people do and make suggestions for things you think may need to be looked at and changed. Old Enough To Know Better,Yet Young Enough to Still Learn?! In Space NO-ONE Can Hear You Scream!,BUT on the Forums People CAN see your Whines Even though NO-ONE Cares!?!
