Every fanfest they say this! They showed us awesome tech demos ... and now what do we get?? ... they changed the basemap on some caldari ships from grey to red? Then all the rest of the skins are basically silver and blue (intaki, kador, eom, quafe, sanctuary and so on ...)
Kind of a joke. Homeworld had a custom skin system which included , stripes, basecolor and a logo. ANY logo you wanted. and that was in the early 2000s.
So disappointed by the half-assed SKIN system. So much potential. So much possibilities to make it a rich gameplay feature by involving exploration , industry and PI. Making people collect and mix pigments, create / find skin patterns, perfect them and sell them... And all we got is a 'BUY' button. It is so out of the sandbox that its not even funny.
Exactly what I'm thinking about whole SKIN system. They not made by players. It's good there are corporation skins with corp logos made by devs, but I want to paint hulls my way. I want caldari colours stratios with navy camo. This what I called custom skin. I understand there are money in whole system to be made, it's business after all, but can we divide ingame corporations skins from player made ones? No matter how you called new skins line, designers or not, players have zero impact how they look.

Unfortunately the tech isn't there yet and with all the stuff coming out like the citadels, the art guys are pretty busy, so no idea when these things might happen. Step at a time and hopefully later in the year we can talk with some certainty what is the next step for SKINs :)
Stop teasing, it's never going to happen. CCP is making money on them. Why would I buy designer raven skin when I could make one? Why would I ever buy a paint job that costs few times more than T1 hull itself?
More important thing: where are new explosions?

That discount on Bantam skin!!! I'm speechless let's put some red colour on hulls and make them cost few hundred million ISK because "designers"...People really fall for them?
CCP Legion wrote: Currently we don't have the tech to do something like this without a (too) huge amount of work per ship. However being able to put on this kind of projections onto ships is something I am pushing for. How exactly they will play out or when this will happen, no idea yet.
How to not like you? At least you honestly wrote what is the state of SKIN system.

CCP Terminus wrote:Frigate skins used to be cheaper than skins for larger ships, because they were expected to be lost more often, as the old skins were only good for a single ship. This is no longer the case, so why would we "tax" larger ships by making their SKINs cost more simply because the ship is bigger. Yup, makes sense.
