Except this is just that - an unfair advantage.

What will the excuse be for those poor haulers that can't afford to buy this new shiny module from the NEX?
"Too bad, you should just buy some PLEX?"

Regardless, you're proposing the sale of an item that removes traveling time, and adds safety to a legit profession.
This directly affects a pilot's ISK/Time/Effort ratio. If that's not an advantage, we might as well be selling SP boosters, Mission loot enhancers and (ohmigosh) magically appearing out of nowhere ISK bundles in the NEX.

Was there ever one lesson to be drawn from the microtransaction model, it is this:
DO NOT SELL POWER!!!
There is no faster way to kill off your franchise.

There is no such thing as a vanity item in EVE - the game is too... 'meta'.

Thank you for your contribution to this discussion. As I had stated in my original post, I was of the belief that this did not offer any direct unfair advantage, and was looking for others' opinions. I'm glad you chimed in with a legit response as apposed to many others simply saying it was a dumb idea.

I'd vote for a autopilot option that requires you to warp to zero manually but jumps automatically while automatic warping to 15km is disabled. Then you can just warp off, tab out and tab back in at the 'Autopilot jumping.' message.

They should also add a drone AI upgrade and an automated "MWD+cloak" routine to the NEX.

No wonder MTs are no great success for CCP when you can't by anything useful in the NEX.


My boots and uniform are very useful thank you very much. I certainly hope you are happy in that hideously drab getup you call clothes.

I was being scarcastic Shocked While trying to prove a point that its boring as ****, hense the very reason people choose to autopilot.

Because picking up the turd you're pet dog just did in the back yard, realy is more amusing than going 40 jumps in an Industrial.

And make it so you can't create bookmarks within 100km of a stargate. Solve the WTZ problem, and the server load problem at the same time.



So... make navigation an inconvenient living hell for everyone because of whining high sec gankers. Yeah, no.

Warp to 0 buyable in the NeX?

No. Just no. Same as with other game-changers which may pop up there.
