Skins are cool looking but what if they could do more, open for discussion but i was thinking that skins could give a very small boost to a attribute to the ship you are flying, for example one skin color might give a 1% boost to weapon rate of fire, while another skin would give a 1% boost to damage, anther skin could give a 1% boost to speed, another could give a 1% boost to sensor boosting so on and so forth.
then there could be throughout the year special skins that ccp could make that would defiantly have a limited time 7 day or 30 day run that could maybe have a 2% bonus to something.
I supposed I could elaborate. Skins can be bought for real money, which makes this idea fall firmly into P2W territory. There’s other reason not to like it, but this in and of itself is enough of a reason to be opposed to this idea.
I think they are fine the way they are as just a cosmetic item. I think World of Warships has it so the SKINS do a little of this and a little of that to different bonuses, but I kind of like ours just being cosmetic and sometimes wish theirs were too. It also gets close to a ‘golden ammo’ sort of thing and it’s a slippery slope.
Just the thought of CCP announcing such a stupid feature, and I can already see hordes of player ships orbiting a monument in Amarr or Jita while shooting at it…
