why jacket instead of SKIN?


  • Jacket and its associated WIS feature is NOT being reiterated (SKIN on the other hand is)

  • Captain Quarters don't have interactions with another player in any meaningful visual manner, so no one is going to look at you unless they really "want" to look at you from info panel (SKIN on the opposite, can opted to be seeing when undocked if a player choose so)

  • I'm assuming people spin ships more than looking into their 5 star prison cell statistic-wise? (so since it's the same thing, I think a SKIN gift could give you more potential players who might just spend real money since it'd be more encouraging? and financial gains for CCP, win-win)

Edit:
topic beautification + keeping what started as discussion....a discussion

*ignoring replies where people are derailing the topic nor is part of the discussion*
(if you have nothing on topic to discuss about, please kindly not post)

Everyone is entitled to their personal preference and opinion, so not including "personal preferences" in the discussion, I DO NOT prefer any one over the other, this is to discuss "why not" which leads to "what if" and then to compare "would it possibly be better/worse"?


  • Argument 1 (btw, thank you sir for bring up the first reasoning that is meaningful) :
    • Quote:

    Quite obviously because every character in EVE can use the male or female clothing items and the genolution implant.

    Whereas the ship skins require that you own the ship/s in question.


    Counter Argument:
    I'm not saying exclusive skins for some ship type that takes ages to train, if they can give out in the past - free faction skinned frigates (sure a lot of players have them converted into skin during the latest patch) and armored shuttle / yacht, a skinned noob ship is a SKIN nontheless, and henceforth can be used by male or female, old or new players. Also it is to my understanding you don't need to own the ship to activate skin, just need to apply it in the fitting window if it's activated on said character.

    Cloth is however, different from SKIN as it is transferable and do not bind to a single character upon activation so that would be its advantage, it can circulate the market and change hand over and over


    This is not how forums work. You're doing it all wrong. Just hit reply like everyone else.

    I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

    I look at people's portraits all the time, and often the avatar in full view too if I find the portrait interesting.

    I've never sat and ship spun looking at a ship skin more than once. Seen it once it's not going to be different the next time.

    People's characters on the other hand are almost always different.

    This. With or without SKINs, each ship (SKINned or not) looks exactly like the next one of its class. Avatars completely roflstomp ships in matters of diversity and uniqueness. Oh, and also in terms of appealing to Brain Mk 1.

    But then, this is a spaceships game, yadda yadda yadda.

    A SKIN would have been cool, but you know how complicated they are. I doubt CCP would have just been like "1 free SKIN coupon".

    But on the other hand, Two very valuable implants along with a Male/Female variant of a nicely tailored, pretty faction ship having Modus Legion Jackets is enough.

    I actually like looking at peoples portraits, some Pilots actually take the time to look professional/evil in their portraits. You ever sit in a trade up and just pop up characters to see how cool the Character Creation is, and how much Variation there can be?

    Just rambling but this post is going out of your way. Just say "Cool, thanks CCP!" And Shoot some Fireworks (:

    So why ***** about the choice? If CCP had given a SKIN, someone else would just complain about that too.

    Wait? How I deserved this Jacket? Who gave it? Did it just drop from nearest star into your redeem system?
    Maybe there should be a lore piece about those things we get every year? P

    Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!
