So I’ve completed 7 skins and have a few more saved up and ready to go in SKINR, but as I get better at using the tool I’m increasingly dissatisfied with small things from the skins I’ve already completed.
Are there any plans for implementing the ability to edit already sequenced skins in your collection? I would pay an appropriate amount of PLEX to do so.
Otherwise, what are the options? You would have to spend the full amount of PLEX again to remake a brand new skin that could potentially only have very small tweaks made to it compared to the original, and the resources used (colors, patterns) would be lost and the initial PLEX wasted. Your original skin would permanently then sit in the graveyard of skins in your collection you don’t use.
This seems like a crucial addition that needs to be added to the positive changes they announced recently. At least, it would seem so to me.
Since you’re apparently illiterate, I said: “As I get better at using the tool I’m increasingly dissatisfied with small things from the skins I’ve already completed”.
Ever think a designer has wanted to change a design after completing it? An architect? A painter? A writer? You tend to notice things completion. “Getting it right the first time” doesn’t apply to artistic or creative endeavors.
It’s a quality of life improvement with no downside.
Check it out, I’ve edited this comment to provide you with an example.
Sure, but the point is that making a skin in EVE doesn’t have to be a one-shot deal. Being able to iterate on your own designs seems to make sense to me.
So take screenshots and iterate until you get one you like, then manufacture.
This is how prototyping works. You iterate in design until you think you’re happy, then you make it and find where you’re unhappy with it, then start all over on the next prototype.
You’re spending money to prototype, if you just want to iterate take screenshots.

Never did I say painters like Bob Ross touch up, fix, or redo paintings, just that they might want to. These examples are generalizations.
Skinning in EVE would be more like painting a car IRL, which you can redo pretty much as many times as you want. Entirely new paint job? No problem. Want to touch something up? Sure, just have to pay for it (materials, labor, etc.).
This isn’t about prototyping, it’s about changing the skin after the original job is done. Want to add a design on the trunk of the car a month or two later? 6 months later? No need to redo the paint on the entire car, just do the trunk. You don’t need a new prototype or to start from the very beginning, you are iterating on the design over time as you use it. You’ve driven the car for 6 months and are now adding to it.
If all you want to do is change one of the four colors on the skin in EVE, why would you need to redo the entire thing? Pay 5 or 10 PLEX to change it rather than having to redo an entirely new skin for the potentially 100s of PLEX that would cost.
No, but I do remember about a million or so Atari E.T. cartridges being sent to a landfill because you couldn’t progress past a certain point, and those games were on ROMs so they just had to trash them.
Urban legend. It was around 728,000 cartridges (of all types), consisting of the inventory from a plant that was shutdown. Less than 10% of the 1,300 cartridges they later recovered were ET.
I had the ET cartridge - and finished it without any problems (Pitfall and Adventure were more fun, though).
Original screen ET had agents pointing guns; this was later changed to walkie talkies by SS.
