PREFACE: This is not sarcasm.
The look of EVE had me hooked twelve years ago before I was ever able to squeak into beta. I poured over concept art releases relentlessly, looking forward to the day I could see them in game. Twelve years later, this hasn't changed. I use the Look At... button often while in missions, traveling (in high-sec at least), and mining. I even tried using it once in pvp combat. Not advised.
The new SKINs have freshened my love of my own ships. I really enjoy my Tash-Murkon skinned ships and can't wait to see my T2 fleet get new choices as well. I also mash that Look At... button when I see another player in a T1 ship on grid, just to see what (if any) SKIN they are using. I am playing more, and making more isk, so that I can buy more SKINs (real-life budget and my few remnants of common sense prevent buying large amounts of Aurum with US$). The psychological defect often known as "collector's bug" wants me to get all the available SKINs for my favorite factions, even for the ships I rarely fly. My tenacious role-playing itch wants me to make sure I get all the Khanid SKINs as well, since my avatar is Khanid. All this sums up to more EVE, more enjoying EVE, less "been there done that" feeling even on the 987th rescue of that stupid maiden (though lets be honest, "maiden" hasn't applied to her in a very long time).
So again, a hearty thank you! to the art department. You are the best. Ignore everyone that complains you haven't redone their favorite ship the way they want it. For every one of those people complaining there's... well, I only know there's me. But I appreciate your work way more than those guys who complain so I count for a few dozen of them at least.

But yeah, SKINS are awesome (and would be more awesome when we get more Guristas SKINS). |

Thanks so much for the kind words! Much of your thanks also needs to be directed to Team Size Matters, who handled a large part of the feature-¦s implementation.

I agree that SKINs are quite cool as a concept (they'll be cooler once there's a lot more of them to choose from and prices make any kind of sense).
But IMHO clothing & apparel allow avatars to be way more personal than putting a SKIN on a ship, both for being more visible (when was the last time you saw other ship than yours?) and because avatars are more customizable than ships.
73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

People can grow attached to their ships aswell, specially when they've been in service for a long time. If not for one specifc ship, an entire class of them.
And I'll always cheerish the short time I flew a Guristas Edition Procurer, for as long as I play EVE. |

I agree. I can see great things from this. You guys have single-handedly (that's probably spelled wrong, but spell-check said "f" it and I don't really actually care) found the best way to make the AUR system relevant to those of us who have held on to that 5500 or so you guys gave us from the milestones back when it was introduced with no intention to use it. I now have a long term goal of unlocking every freakin skin in the game.
Cheers, gents. And keep the SKIN's rolling, pliss.

EVE-O-lution! Well I like it :O I like all graphic updates because I don't zoom out. I like the ship animations and the skins, and all recent updates to the models. They are great.
If CCP would grant me one wish I would ask for a "Police Nemesis"-skin. I would never leave that ship again.

Original batch pricing still remains out of whack - 4,300 Aurum for a Tech 1 frigate SKIN.
The addition of four Marauder SKINs, as well as the Sanctuary SoE line, came with a reasonable pricing model in light of the above.

Game designers serve a role roughly analogous to our art team's concept artists and art directors, and EVE definitely has more game designers than it has concept artists and art directors.

Please tell us more about your game development team balance equations, experience and qualifications.
I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I think overall the skin system is pretty good, mechanically it's well implemented and works just fine, most of the skins (most) look good too. The only complaints I had were the lack of skins for hulls you'd actually want skins for and that's being resolved.
The only remaining issue is the pricing, which is still pretty bizarre. |

Skins are nice but when can we go with custom color paint jobs? You know, "Paint the whole ship orange" sort of thing.
