Bentakhar wrote:Pricing SKINs according to how good CCP thinks they look is an incredibly surprising and terribad idea. Imagine if cars of varying colors had different pricing matching the builder's taste.
So... you haven't even spec'd out a new car in the last three decades or so? Because this is exactly what they do. Some colors are exclusive to trim levels, too.
It's not just cars, either. You're complaining about something that RL corporations have done for decades. There has never been a shortage of people who will pay extra for looks, or for exclusivity, or for luxury. SKINs are luxury items. If you don't want to pay a premium price for a premium skin, don't.

It would be useful for seeing ship effects, too. I've heard some talk about it around the office, although I think it's been talked about for a while now. It's definitely not completely out of the picture as something we could do.
This would be awesome! If I could have a view of my ship in a window about the same size as the view in the fitting window (or a little smaller), that would be great.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, why do I post here?

So with the release of the Valklear SKINs which extend to Minmatar T2 hulls, will we be seeing an update to the Raata Sunset SKINs to include Caldari T2 hulls as well?
I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

I wouldn't count on getting the rest of the Raata Sunset skins. Just another half-assed, half-finished feature. |

Of the Valklear set am I just missing the option for navy BSs or are they not present? In the BS bundle I see T1 and 2 but no faction. |

Theres one thing I think it would be nice for CCP to do. They could add an option for fw militia members to freely shift it's current ship skin to the one of the militia. It doesnt make much sense for a caldari pilot to fly with the gallentean eagle or with some tribal marking just because he prefers to fly ships of the opposite faction. This could also only work while inside the militia. That way CCP retains the ability to capitalize on most of the other ship skins as they see fit (altough the ideal would be completely free player customization). Even if its just the logo, it could be a good starting test for future implementations. |

You know... I think CCP has open a can of worms.
The positive impact of "my ship got a new SKIN!" is struggling with the negative impact of "guess what, still no bloody SKIN for my ship".
I've 6900 AUR ready to buy a SKIN... if I ever find one that:
a) I like it b) is available for the race ships I fly c) actually is avalable for exactly the ship I'd like to see in that SKIN (clue: I fly T2, so...)
I wonder if SKINs are being developed based on ship popularity. The fact that the Golem (the 3rd ship more popular in the game, IIRC) hasn't got any SKIN makes me wonder this.
And that's no little can of worms, with some 500 ship types, each with a SKIN to be tested for each range of SKINs... just to end up pissing everyone not gifted with a SKIN, and also turning the NES catalogue into a nightmare to browse with essentially hundreds of unusable ship SKINs for each one a player may actually use. Sooner or later, a search by name function should be added to the NES.
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...

Have you used the NES? There is a search function in the top-right, and if you type in "Golem", you will find that there is in fact already 2 skins for it

Ok, now I eat my hat. There are two skins for Golem and there's a search function which had gone unnoticed...

If you price these higher than the normal skins because they're "designer" you'll just be screwing Caldari and Minmatar over again. Please don't do it. These will fall roughly in the middle of our existing price ranges, none of these will be more expensive than what is out there already. LIES Destoya wrote:No love for the Gallente eh? Not yet, but at some point yes :) Viktor Corgo wrote:"Available on _race_ hulls" Just to be clear -- are these SKINs one-ship skins? That is, are we still buying Valklear Glory Typhoon SKIN, Valklear Glory Rifter SKIN, etc, or are we buying a Valklear Glory SKIN that happens to work on Minmatar hulls in general? The system has not changed, these are all one-ship SKINs.
I'm sorry guys. They are pretty sure, but come on...6400 aur for the wyvern? Please that is outrageous.

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.

Hmmm for a Company that's struggling financially, One wonders why they are diverting scant resources to this rather petty add on which brings them little and probably no financial return at all.

The have the base skins and recolor them and can do this as a batch process so it is very easy to do and not worth buying you zoom out the play game and I turned of the skin first thing.
I will never buy a skin for a ship even my super, so I am not the customer.
To Marly's point the question remains Why would you waste 1 second do this work because it still has to be tested, deployed seems like a waste of resources when so many other things need to be done to the game.
The wise old man said, never open a lemonade stand when its 20 below zero, build a fire and charge people to stand near it.
CCP needs to think about what they are selling, who they are selling it to, and what is going on with the customers of the game that have supported them for 12 years while they have burned all the money we gave into content we dont care about or on games we will never play like World of Darkness.

Maybe you should think about this yourself. Skins have had the enthusiasm and patronage of a great many, as evidenced in this and other threads and in space (zoom in and you'll likely see it from time to time), largely because your single use case doesn't and hasn't universally applied.
There is no "we don't care about" when "we" are the reason the feature got further iterated after the pilot program to determine interest. That you personally would never buy them does not and will not ever mean they were a waste of time or universally undesired.
The point still stands, if the investment generates a return there is no reason not to do it, especially when "we" asked for it and demonstrated willingness to pay for it. |

Except that if you've been paying attention, the work on SKINs has helped the art department shake out a great many bugs in textures and geometry, and also in their new engine.
For a game which has prided itself on its appearance from day one ("Those shots are rendered!" "No, they're not.") it's a solid investment of time. I'm sure the revenue isn't bad. People love to customize "their" things.

The new 'Raata Sunset' SKIN line for Caldari hulls can color your ship fiercely red with elegant stripes of silver-white. More designer SKINs are already waiting: the blue-golden 'Blue Tiger' for Minmatar and Caldari hulls as well as the 'Valklear Glory' design for Minmatar ships. Check out CCP Legion's latest blog Designer SKINs to please your eyes for a beautiful preview of our first designer ship SKINs.
