It's certainly an interesting concept, an additional way to personalize your ships and structures, and it allows you to showcase your corporation's and/or alliance's logo. The customization of structures was something many players were asking for, and I think it met part of the community's expectations. It offers a wide variety of colors, and although somewhat limited, it lends itself to creating interesting combinations.

Now, I'd like to contribute my two cents (or tritanium?) to improve it even further:

If the idea is to allow corporations and alliances to personalize and highlight themselves, why not make use of some of the spaces on the stations and allow us to add their logos through evemarks? This would be a way to promote the idea of heraldry.

Add an option to renew your SKINR license so that you don't have to redesign the stations again. Simply renew it with a click for an equal period of time.

And lastly, perhaps the craziest idea, why not allow industrialists to create their "brand" and use evemarks to imprint it on capital and supercapital ships? This might be very complex to implement, I don't know. I truly don't know the feasibility of something like this, but it would undoubtedly be something that would excite the most passionate industrialists.

A great idea overall, but it should be leveraged more to ensure that players truly want to use and acquire evemarks.

I think Evermarks are a good idea. There's nothing wrong with experimenting with new non cash shop currency. This has been tried in EVE before with tags, a few items that LP shops take, and Analysis Kredits. Even though those failed due to the content they were attached to being forgotten about, it adds some fun complexity to the game. As it is, the LP systems have numerous different types but it results in some fun trading mechanics, and LP conversion.

Evermarks seem to take a different approach as most of the ways to use it can't be directly converted to ISK with other players. I like this closed economy more as EVE at the very least approaches the old definition of pay to win and it is easy to convert real cash to in-game advantage whereas Evermarks seem to reflect in-game effort more.

I can't look into my Magic Crystal Ball and determine the new things CCP will come up with to find new ways for people to spend EverMarks on. I do hope CCP adds group content for earning EverMarks. That could be special Homefront Operation rewards or some new ISK sink that can only be completed by a group of people. Overall, I hope they just continue to iterate on this mechanic until it reaches maturity.

Evermarks are a great concept for the game but their introduction and what you can spend them on is lacking. The ability to add a little personilisation to your ship should be a little more customizable in my opinion. To move where the logos are, even if it's just picking from a few pre-determined spots, would add a little more to the idea.

Oh, those Evermarks!

How can you not be sweet on 'em, eh? They're like our little space bling-bling, the currency that makes us as unique and charming as a lumberjack in a tuxedo. They're our way of saying, "Hey, I'm part of the gang, and I'm dam proud of it, don't ya know." Whether they're splashed across our ships or plastered on our structures, these Evermarks let us strut our stuff in style, eh?

And hold onto your toques, because with the Eve Havoc expansion droppin' on November 14th, trading these beauties will be easier than scoring a double-double at Tim Hortons, eh? We've been dreamin' of slappin' our alliance and corporation logos on our ships for a dog's age, and now we can, and then some!

So, in anutshell: I've got a soft spot for those Evermarks 😉

Conceptually, they're great! A player completes menial daily tasks to get a currency to buy things with.

In practice however, they suck harder than a brand new shop vac. There are only so many people who care about "pinkstars" and only so many ships that you actually would like to pimp out with an alliance or corporation logo.

It reaches a point where the players are already satisfied and the evermark rewards mean absolutely nothing. This means that daily login rewards and the Galnet crate from Twitch Drops are bloated with something that means nothing.

I know that there was an announcement at fanfest about them and I hope that when these changes occur that Evermarks will actually be something to look forward to getting, instead of being the most disappointing reward you can get.
