The price on this ($150) is way over priced when the only good thing is the USB Hub Minmatar Frigate. Could CCP produce a USB hub in every ship type so we could buy the one we want? I think you would sell a lot more stuff if you price them reasonably and sell them by themselves. What do you all think? Thanks Z

EDIT:
When I read the info on this Collectors Frigate I did not find any spec's like:
USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0?
Does it light up when accessed?
Does it light up based on port accessed?
Is it upgradeable...i.e...2.0 to 3.0?

Every ship type? Do you really think they could move any copies that came with the Moa? Sorry to whichever CCP dev created that hull lol.

Confirming CCP is just trying to grab at monies now, it's wayyyyyy over priced at best I'd offer maybe 60-75 used for those items.

150 USD is over-priced. But perhaps I would have still at least thought about it...

The fact that they do the weird calculation STEAM so loves (1dollar = 1Euro???) made me decide to NOT buy this.

150 Euros are 196,26 USD at current rate.

So: Definite no for me! Even considering difference in taxes it is milking EU players - and we already pay more for subscriptions to the very same service.

Even as a hardcore EVE fan I'd feel like an idiot if I bought this little pack of cheap wonders. ;)

The CE, while a nice idea, is over priced for what it is offering. I think instead of a physical, box version CE, CCP should re-consider making die-cast/hard plastic replicas of each faction's ships. And couple that with making USB hub models as well. Personally, I would love to have scale models of a Corax, Ferox, Tengu, etc. Who among us wouldn't like to see what they are currently flying on their desktop...or have as a bitter reminder of what they just got blown up lol.

Maybe if the CE allowed the player to personally re-skin their ships to some degree: different paint colors & schemes/patterns for the hull. Then again, I would prefer to have this option available to the entire playerbase, but if CCP wants to generate additional income...who knows?
