We just haven't had time to get it done, but it's imminent.

So as I said, it's not visual customization. The tab name implies something entirely different.

Just, you know. Change the tab name. It isn't that big of a deal, but seeing that kind of lead-on is what makes bittervet's bitter. I need fewer reasons to be a jaded *******, not more.

Alternate styles skin BPO's might be a start. You could consider making a specific item in the dropsuit loadout that is effectively a paint BPO which overrides the default one. From there, you could just sell the skin for Aurum and people wouldn't be chained to using pre-fit shenanigans.

Seeing Rattati's post, I'm now going to have to agree with you there.

What would you suggest the tab be renamed to then?

I was thinking "Alternate color scheme dropsuit BPOs" but the name is too long I think...

EDIT: CCP Rattati, would this be just BPOs, or would the other consumable alternate color dropsuits fit under this category as well?

One would have assumed the introduction of the visual customization tab was a hint towards Paint Bucket finally coming, but this seems little more than being led on by a horrible date. You're playing with my heart Rattati. That isn't cool. It's my fault FA exists. Direct your rage to me.

Currently, we have just received the Visual Customization tab to the marketplace, brand-spanking new as of 1.9. Along with it, they decided to add APEX suits, which are arguably Prototype suits with different color schemes. However, there is always the possibility down the road that they will add more suits for Aurum or even ISK. Maybe it will be paint schemes and a new slot will open up on all our dropsuits allowing us to have visual flare of our choosing to dropsuits. I see our new Visual Customization tab as a step toward that. But for now, baby steps. CB Vet // Logi Bro // @KazeEyrou CIO ("Proto Forum Warrior") Learning Coalition & RTG

Those babysteps are more of a crawl. And not the army kind of crawl, where you actually get somewhere. The kind of crawl where you move a bit forward, then get dizzy and curl up into a fetal position as you start to bleed out. So I'm going to be totally honest here. I don't believe this tab will be used for anything we haven't already seen. History has taught me not to believe in such fantasies. It's my fault FA exists. Direct your rage to me.

Then change the name from 'visual customization' to 'special skins' or smthin. It's misleading....we thought that we could customize in our own way.

Its really misleading, but im not that suprised anyway. I knew it will be like this. Something like color schemed suits will be really better name, visual customization just made false promises for everyone who wanted custom his own one. Its not that bad in my eyes, but i understand pain of some players ;p *"In the rust we trust"*
