I really dislike the skin sequencing. CCP you are already charging PLEX to create these skins and for the most part to get colors and patterns. Do you really have to create some BS item we need like the sequencers? The real money isn’t good enough? On top of the new skills? The monetization is getting crazy. Soon we’ll need PLEX to just board the ships.

tagging @Arthur_Aihaken as he’s an “expert” on the skins.
The sequencers themselves are so cheap that it doesn’t really matter.
I agree the SKINr is crazy monetized, but CCP needs to make more money from the game and it’s not coming from new players. At least SKINs don’t really give you an advantage, so I don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
I don’t think it’s going in the direction of plexing to fly a ship though. It’s more going in the direction of more new colors, more new patterns, new unique logos. Maybe they will add player created apparel at some point. All to increase PLEX sales. Which, again, isn’t such a huge problem because items like SKINs and clothes confer exactly zero advantage in the game.

SKINR is just another way to gouge more money out of players… All about monetizing the game away from players out of pure greed… First they monetized the skuns and now they have started to monetize the ships… This game needs to be ripped out of the hands of Pearl Abyss and CCP to save it… 
I can just imagine the lag of 1000 players going to the same system with each one having a skin of there own. So having a control/way to limit senseless skins is a god idea.
I never thought about that, but it would significantly add to server stress… Looks like they are letting player’s skins be judged by if they sell or not… If I make a skin and it doesn’t sell after a couple of tries, I’m not going to make any more of them and move on to the designs that do sell…
