Alliance logos are coming to all capital and sub-capital ship hulls except for Triglavian ships. The new skins will be added to all players’ available skin list automatically, but if the player is not part of a player corp or alliance the logo will default to the star circle emblem. CCP Hilmar & CCP Ghost sat down with EVE Onion to give us a behind the scenes look at a totally new skin system called EGO.

CCP Hilmar: I had the strangest dream; there were these red curtains and this black and white zig-zag floor. I was lost in this very strange place when this very tall man approached me and started dancing. He was taking his clothes off…

I realized he was not a man at all: He was a spaceship! Then I woke up. These are the kinds of things Team Talos was built for, and that is why we are dedicating the dev time and resources to getting this new system into the game for our players.



CCP Ghost: One of the things I have found since I started researching the player base is that a player’s ability to individualize themselves by a function of self expression is really important. Wow that’s really amazing. This community is so amazing and I keep learning more about how all the variables interconnect.



The new skins will cost ISK to activate at the alliance level; that cost will scale with how many corporations are in the alliance. The new EGO skins are slated for release in April 2020 alongside EVE Online Legion.
