Having to purchase ship skins using Aurum is a bad idea. The community for a long time has asked for this feature. It should have been apart of the game a long time ago. The lack of customizable aesthetic features in eve have been appalling. While I am excited about the possibility of maybe changing a ships colors, I will not be paying RL money for a feature that should be free, so that I can fly a slightly different looking ship into battle, all the while paying a monthly subscription fee to play. I have been a loyal player for over 5+ years but I think due to the already lack of customizable aesthetic features, CCP the least you could do is offer it for free!!!!!
P.S. for those of you who do not know
" In the first release of the pilot program we will be introducing eight skins available for Aurum, and one available exclusively through in-game achievement."
"Frigate paint; around 45 AURUM (~$0.23-$0.26) for a single application Battleship paint; around 350 AURUM (~$1.75-$2.00) for a single application"

There should be a skin for the Machariel that makes it look like a Thorax. And vice versa.

That was an argument made in the dev blog. It is true I could buy a plex, but then some one else is paying for a feature that should be free. |

I am not whining, just let down and disappointed CCP wants to go this direction. Maybe it will be like walking in stations, and just die out. |

It's quite simple really. If you don't want to put that skin on your Retriever, then don't. |

CCP has their playerbase, so they can do w/e they want.. bleeding anything (players in this case) for what they're worth is just business and economics 101; it doesn't really affect gameplay, but it just kinda sucks to see them doing it. |

If the ship is destroyed, do we still keep the paint? Are we able to use it on a new ship of the same type? |

yeah...but yer gonna need a big bucket to chip it away off your wreck. I think they're making a paint stripping mod that you can fit to your noctis for that very purpose. |

Yes, no and yes, in that order.
It's my understanding that the "community" wanted a "Paint" style util where you could create your own colour schemes with a palette of colours, basic patterns (for camo, etc) and the ability to slap on Corp / Alliance logos.
True, this is the first "iteration" of this material. But, it's a far cry from what people would really like to see -- and "paying for it" wasn't part of the idea, either.
So, in many people's eyes, this will be CRAP due to the complete lack of personalized input/customization (for the time being, at least).
Don't really give a rat's ass myself, unless a bright "fire engine red" paint scheme is made available, and ONLY THEN if it makes my ship go 25% than anyone else's ship.
... and I was just saying the other day, "Damn, I miss Soundwave"....

Can we hold off on this discussion until after I've sold the massive amount of Aurum for the huge mark up over what I paid for it so long ago?

CCP this is a prototype to see how much people give a **** about it in the first place.
they said they wanted a good split between LP/ISK and Aurum purchased skins, with the possibility of them implementing a more personalized and detailed system farther down the road.
thsi system they are implementing is a market prototype, not representative of the final product.
i swear to Carl people skim dev blogs for 1 or 2 words they know will get them angry, ignore the entire context of the rest of the dev blog, then start a huge shitstorm about it on the forums.

Frankly I see in the Long run Textures/Patterns will likely be Aurum(and I have no issue with this) However I would prefer to see it come in as a BPO at a higher rate, so that I can make BPCs/items to fit to ships like rigs, However the paint to fit the pattern will be an in game item/manufacturing/LP/etc.
EG Buy Camo Pattern X, and then fill it with Colours Y base, Z Trim and ++ Highlights |

Just that the paint job "sub-system" would replace the whole ship instead of just a portion. Then again, I didn't program that stuff, so I'm not sure if it's that compatible.

Agreed ship skins should be free. Something included in the game from the beginning. You buy a ship and choose color variations. Not so hard. |

Your right that it is a prototype and like I said might go the same way that walking in stations went. However, I think it should be made very simple and free. Like changing your avatar's pose and picture, you could also do the same to the ship. The value of the ship should not change other than a nominal fee for applying the paint to your ship. What CCP is saying that in an advanced universe with immortal clones and space stations through out the known universe, painting a ship is so complex that you have to pay some one more than just a nominal fee to use a template to change the appearance of your ship. In this case an Jovian type civilization in a Parallel Universe with the need to pay in the Parallel universe's currency!
With that said, I would like to ask a question? How do you know for sure that there is going to be a good split. The fact that they are thinking about releasing 9 skins and only 1 can be bought with isk/lp is not a good indicator for what you are saying. It seems that CCP is making it to complex when in reality it could be done easier.
I always imagined the system to be similar to something in Mechwarrior games. Plus it would be fun to see a group of gankers all in pink. |
