In a future patch would it be possible to create a feature on EVE that would allow players to customize their ships with decals, symbols, paint schemes of all colors, and whatever else you could think of so that each corp. and player could have their own unique appearance.
thanks for listening

No plans on this yet.
My 2 ISK on this issue is as follows:
Corp Logo: no
Alliance Logo: yes
Custom Paint Scheme: limited parts of the ship surface only
No Hello Kitty Kestrels with the corp logo of XXXTREME EMPIRE MISSION RUNNER CONGLOMERATE LOL :D corp.

I have heard CCP say many times that builder logos, corp or allinace logos will not be put on ships.
Nor will they allow custome paint jobs...I wish they would change thier minds on this.

In the Art of EVE book, there is a picture of I think a procurer with the RED Alliance symbol on it. CCP have mentioned the possibility of putting corp/alliance logos on ships, but new paint jobs and flame decals - probably not so likely.

With custom logos on ship, you will get a very laggy server. Just think of Jita with maybe 30 different alliance members there, and hundreds of corps and you need to upload every new logo from the server to see them all (will happen automatically). Add to the math that hundreds of pilots need to upload this as well. Talk about lagdeath.
Unless they do it as they do alliance logos and add them to each new patch CCP release. But then again very few alliance logos have been added with the latest patches...
Personally I dont think they will implement this feature. |

CCP aren't allowing new Alliance logo's at the moment, and they haven't for a while. So I very much doubt that anything like corp / alliance logo's appearing on ships will happen in the near future, and doubtful if it would ever happen.

Adding custom decals or variable paintjobs means they have to rework all ship models to allow a space for the decal, and the ship model textures to allow different tinted paintjobs, also it would involve redoing some code in the client too.
Even just an alliance decal (the alliance logo) and alliance colours added to ships (which would be the simplest of all possible changes) would already be a lot of work.
Anything more (personalized as opposed to just "alliance issue" paintjobs) would not only mean the same work, but also a lot of client-side extra CPU/GPU/RAM usage whenever many custom paintjob ships are in the same grid.

Agreed. Ship customisation would be awesomeeeeeeeee. With a very limited palette, it would be in keeping with the theme of eve..But it would allow some individual expression. This would definitely be a move forward in the right direction. If one looks at for example the Audi R8.. Simple shades, one shade between black and white for the body, and one for the blades..but it makes the car look amazing, something can be done like that for our ships too!

CCP barely takes care of custom alliance logos and you expect them to put them on ships? LOL!

My ideas:
Corp/alliance logo? Yes, on a square or two on the ship. See: Homeworld 2.
If in alliance, use alliance logo
Checkbox in settings for those who dont want it.

I wouldn't count on seeing corp logos on ships (probably because of the fact that they are barely customizable), but alliance logos would be a nice addition.
I can't see it being that much work to implement it, though they'd probably have to set aside a few people from more important work.
Regarding lag:
General settings -> Show alliance logos on ships []

It should also be noted that this could form the basis of a huge ISK sink, which is badly needed...
Complaints about it causing lag should be ignored, nobody here has any idea if this is true or not; with my limited understanding of things I suspect it would make zero difference, it's just another texture. You would only need to download it once, and only if you zoom close enough to see it. The vast majority of the time you will only be looking at your own.

Absolutely not.. We dont need anymore lag in 0.0 fights or Jita from 300billion different logos having to be loaded.

It wouldn't cause more lag than having 20 Raven and 20 CNRs than having 40 Ravens or 40 CNRs instead. It's a texture, it stays on the ship, it does not move. Logos wouldn't create lag, it'd just be time consuming.

Wasn't there some talk of customising the interior of your ship in the future? That would allow some level of customisation without all the lag custom extiriors would cause.

Wrong wrong wrong and wait.. wrong. If corps could have a unique texture or logo for thier ships then a smart corp will make textures as large as possble to lag out any ship jumping in. A solution for this would be to have a check box to enable or disable showing of custom textures. However as the average eve fleet participants iq is about at a Forest Gump level then none of them will have unchecked the box and n00b lagwhine threads will overflow on the forums once again even after hpc/infiniband hits.

A logo on a ship would be on a preset place, not wherever you would please.
Any other idea is stupid and open to abuse.

I swear I saw some fanfest video years ago with a LV alliance logo on the side of a titan or MS or something.
I imagine there are some practical reasons why it hasn't been implemented, because it seemed like they had the technical side of things down way back then.

It doesn't matter if its fixed or not as all a corp would have to do is change it on a day to day basis to make sure it wasn't already preloaded in your cache. Any custom logo or texture will be abused if at all possible.

Don't you think CCP would fix this instead of sitting at work drooling and beating their chest with one hand?

Hello Kitty is evil. We all know it but just don't admit the fact that Hello Kitty Online is the biggest threat Eve-Online has ever seen.

This. It would be neat if they didn't have to worry about lag, but lag is about a million times more importaint then a little bit of customization atm.
