Okay, I'm not talking anything extravagent here. But I think it would be cool to beable to paint the different sections of your ship basic colours. This way we can make a blood raider 'geddon. Or customize the look of your ship in a variety of ways. Make it a time sink by putting a skill in for it. Maybe make it cost a 1 mill or 2 Mill isk to change the color of a section. All kinds of ways to put money and timesinks into it and at the same time make something really neat so we don't all fly cookiecutter ships.

Good idea. I have wanted to paint my ships since I started EVE. Maybe let us design our own logos too for decoration, just like you can when you create a corp logo, and let us stick that on the ship too.
Your price is too high for this though, knocking it down to a resonable 10k-100k depending on your ship size would be better.

bad idea; programming wise and performance wise.
the specifics of your paint job have to be remembered by the system, which requires valuable database space.
further, this makes the vector describing ships larger, which slows the Internet and the load of data from server to you. Might endanger the game being reasonably playable over a 56k modem.
it also increases the amount of data the server has to spit out, which slows the overall process.
of course, if the vast majority of players were willing to pay an extra 4 euros per month [5 dollars US], it would pay CCP handsomely to do this anyway.
which seems quite doubtful to me.

Of course that would be a bad idea.
Allowing people to change 2 or 3 color shades on their ship however would not increase lag at all. If coded correctly...

As long as the colours are preset it shouldn't be a huge difference. In Dark age of Camelot armour could be coloured any number of 20 different colours and it didn't hurt performance any. Pieces of armour could even be different colours without any noticeable performance issues.
I think it's very do able.

i don't see how this would cause server lag at all so long as all the preset texture and color choices are part of the client via a patch. once that's done, the choices are relayed to others in the form of numbers that represent the different choices you made. just a string of numbers. it would take much less time than, say, loading a portrait of someone. all possible textures and colors and symbols would already be loaded into everyone's client. all you have to tell everyone's clients which ones go with which ship.
if it does turn out to be a problem for 56kers, then just include an option to turn that feature OFF.

I think it would be really neat to be able to slap on a corp logo to a ship as well. as well as being able to change some of the colors on a ship, but i think this might cause some lag issues, maybe not.
