So, is there any word on how much we will be able to adjust the overall look of our dropsuits, vehicles, etc? I would really love to be able to adjust colors and add corp emblems and stuff to my gear. I know a lot of F2P games really make a good chunk of their bank on cosmetic items (TF2 hats anyone?) and people LOVE to make things feel "like their own."
Beyond simply "will they have this," my real question is... IF SO, what would you like to see included and how far should they go with it? Should a particular dropsuit or LAV always be immediately recognizable to the enemy as a particular model, or should the allow enough customization to sort of "blur the lines" between what is what?
As a follow up, how much customization do they allow in EVE? Can everyone pretty much get a good idea at what sort of ship is coming at them, and what it's functions are going to be with little to no surprise with a cursory glance at the thing, or can you mismash the cosmetic bits enough to make folks have to take a second look at times to get a clear idea of what's coming at them . Or is it sometimes necessary to try and deduce what you're up against through non-visual cues like speed, engine mounts, weapon scans, etc? (clearly I don't know jack squat about the EVE universe, other than that it looks awesome)
Also, obviously, this is of very little importance at this stage of development, and I'm in no way trying to imply that they should hurry up and implement this sort of stuff in the beta. I'm just curious and interested in long term suggestions. |

I would love this too but I remember seeing some devs talking on youtube and basicly they said a big problem was somthing they called "time till *****" . aww i cant say that word so er Willy or somthing like that
Basicly if you can do logos and paint work then its only a matter of time. |

even being able to customize my characters face would be cool, just like in EVE with the pilot face maker

There is absolutely NO cosmetic customization for ships in EVE (currently). They've been talking about letting us add insignias (corp/alliance logos, etc) and maybe even color, but the details are unknown, and odds are if you did paint your ship, no one but you would see it, as that would be a LOT of tax on the memory (having to load everyones custom paint job in a 100+ person fleet would crash a lot of computers, lol)
DUST is different though. I could see them throwing in custom colors perhaps, or at least logos on dropsuits/vehicles. but TBH, all in good time. I don't reckon we'll see features like this for quite some time. |

dropsuits bought for AUR already have different colour schemes, it's one of the only incentives to buy them. however, there are only a few variations for every tier of suit. |

aside from customizing a drop suit or vehicle as that would seem to take away from the AUR purchases a bit...I wouldn't mind being able to create an emblem that appear over our character for teammates to see in game. I think Halo did it well...
I feel this would help people be able to find their friends or squad mates easier. As it is now I can not see their name until I am up close, if I could just look for a small symbol to run towards, I feel this would help.
I am even open to having it be a skill that you have to level up to get and the hire the level the further out a teammate can be when their logo appears to you. Call it a battlefield awareness skill or something. |
