So I was staring at my collection of T-shirts from... the store... and it occurred to me that I like wearing stuff from video games I have previously played. like Super Mario Bros. And I got to thinking about how awesome it would be to see these same T-shirts on my characters in Eve!
So I thought about how they could be implemented in-game and not get you guys sued, but instead earn you mad cash and I immediately thought of the way FPS shooter companies make their custom stuff. It's basically about royalties. You put in items "Discovered" in an archeology site contained in null sec into the NEX store, which essentially consists of stuff people wore as they first began colonizing New Eden, then say they were replicated after being placed in some Gallente museum.
They "inspired" today's fashion moguls. These items don't have to be true to life but can be similar enough to the real thing to count both as "Easter eggs". Like a Ba-bomb! T-shirt. Or maybe some other pop culture references. Sweet hats maybe? It's a little like today's Steam punk thing, people like old fashions. Bell bottom pants anyone?
These could possibly something people would want to actually buy aurum to see on their Avatar! You could even extend this, as it would be a real profit maker, to the custom ships ideas being thrown around all over the place!

I do like the way they have the Avatar custom tool used here. This is a HUGE step in making our Eve experience our own as well as an excellent chance to make some cash for you. Extra cash = extra developers = extra content = extra players = extra cash...
