I'd rather have 32 v 32, player drones, better performance, vegitation, water, etc. than your ability to buy a hot-pink and brown polka-dotted dropsuit. Not to mention custom colors will look like garbage, and ruin immersion. I could see adding corp logos or something similar, as well as special-edition suits like the Templar, but we have MUCH bigger fish to fry first.

Thats great and all but Dust is a F2P game that is only profitable when people buy AUR. Suggesting a good way of making CCP money without stepping into pay2win territory will only earn CCP more money so they can work on everything you asked for quicker.

I don't think you get it, custom suits take up memory, a lot of it. So no, we wouldn't be able to have those other things because we don't have the memory for them if we had custom color schemes. There are plenty of other ways to have micro transactions that wouldn't cripple gameplay (e.g. a Minmatar slave girl for my quarters). Also boosters will always be the main source of income for DUST.

The article, for those who haven't read it is proof of how profitable cosmetic purchases can be. A simple customisation feature that lets us make and purchase a permanent paint scheme would by highly profitable. It doesn't even have to be permanent just worth it. 1000 Paint Schemes you can fit to whichever fitting you like for -ú3 (or equivalent) would be a bargain anyone would pay for a little customisation.

We are aware. :) We've also recently brought in CCP Z as our Monetization Director (he's a super nice guy, I promise). He has great ideas and we are absolutely looking at cosmetic goods. Thanks for the article though, I'll fire it over to him! One of the things that has always puzzled me is CCP's reluctance to adopt cosmetic mods. In the early years of EVE one could imagine technical limitations being the answer, but as time has progressed it becomes apparent we are dealing with something else. CCP has mentioned in the past TTP(Time-To-Pen1s) and often quoted this famous interview and the migration of W-Hat to New Eden, where goons came to spread the grief and **** around and surprisingly found their true home. And as far as dicking around in CCP's sandbox, given raw material like the thorax, who could resist, really? ;) But I get the feeling there's something else going on, my favorite theory is there's an old world Icelandic artist somewhere in CCP who's been there from the very beginning and who is very protective of the artistic heritage of New Eden and who wanders around the office muttering things about 'mythological integrity, universal archetypes, blah, blah, blah...'. This 'artist' person is not kidding, and all the other peeps at CCP have learned the hard way that this person is both crazy and dangerous, and perfectly willing to defend 'the art' with rusty broadswords, baseball bats, pliers and a blowtorch. And that is why we don't have cosmetic customization in EVE or DUST. I support SP rollover.

I did buy the Tactical Edition while it was on sale for 5 USD and the old Starter Pack (don't recall the name) because it had an Exile AR BPO in it.

I mean, I actually support the idea of moving to cosmetic monetization and removing boosters and such entirely, but that would effectively mean that everyone who has bought boosters so far now had an advantage when they were playing that no one else will be able to have. Vets will always have an SP advantage, with or without boosters. It just gets less over time as you can only take so much SP in the form of skills and equipment onto the field at one time. As a closed beta vet I have no need to continue to purchase SP boosters. When you have core skills maxed and several million SP saved for future skills why pay RL money to have another million you aren't going to use? Until the pace of new content picks up it is easy to grind enough SP for the next update without boosters. If the RR and CR had been quickly followed by racial parity and quickly followed by new vehicle types and then quickly followed by etc, etc then you get a situation where a vet might pay for boosters to make sure they have enough SP to skill out the new content. As is, I have 10 30-day active boosters to sell if / when the player market opens. 6 months between major content means I could not play and let passive do the work for me and still have enough to jump in when an update drops.
