I think that out of game Items designed by vendors such as "Muster Brand" should also be available in game.
For instance if I were to buy a Bombardier Jacket in real life it would be really cool if it came with an Eve Redeemable code to wear it in game. You could easily up the cost to compensate and also make it an option if desired or also available to purchase in game whether you had purchased it out of game or not after a significant period or whatever, all variables. It is something I would like to see in some form. The more we can crossover the physical and the digital the better it is for the Game in the long run.

Thanks for listening all,

Given how much trouble CCP had with just dealing with alliance logo's and potential copyright issues, I'm 99.9% sure that the legal team would rather stick a fork in an electrical socket than get involved with actually having other people's trademarked goods appear in game.

This. Also oh man that analogy LolLolLol

Oh and then there's the whole issue with someone having to actually model the stuff and create it, and it better be absolutely freaking spot-on because you know someone is going to be comparing their RL jacket to their character's. Or "oh, I always buy my jackets a bit loose and the one on my character isn't like that! CCPLZ!!!"

Seriously though, it's a cool idea, but between just the legal issues and the dev time required I think this will fly about as well as an un-fitted Drake through RancerWhat?

Bombardier is going to be dead for several thousands of years when EVE takes place. Any brand we know today is going to be dead and long forgotten by then.

Not supported.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

actually, heres an Idea.


CCP can we have all the clothing currently ingame have sizes added to it? like, maybe i prefer boots 2 sizes larger, baggy pants, and a huge t-shirt, as opposed to the currently (at least to me) way too uncomfortable form-fitting variety

yes, it'd be alot of work, but your paying those devs whether they have projects or not, and surely youve already finsihed the assets for the June sovereignty structures

I just want baggy sweatpants and an oversized Tshirt. All this formal space man crap is exhausting. How can I be comfy watching form fu w/ popcorn and a form fitting outfit. Give me baggy and give me some furry slippers!
