EVE General Discussion

But Mumsy said my ships were special. You can't have a ship like mine because mine won't be special any more.

Yes, it is okay. Who told you otherwise?

I feel so sorry for this poor trillionaire. Imagine his suffer.

If you read it (which it doesnt sound like you have) you would know, that they plan to do this with almost all existing "special" ships and that some SKIN's will resemble, very closely, the special hulls in game.
Its not new, it didnt come out of the blue and CCP has been very open about how the SKIN system will be implemented and what will happen to the special hulls, in the game.

As far as i understand, you will not loose your precious little Stratios. You will just see regular stratios's flying around and looking alot like yours, but not 100% like it.
And your special little snowflake, will always have that special little snowflake name, when other people see it in the overview.

Cant really see the harm in letting the rest of us obtain a SKIN, when it doesnt hurt your collection one bit.

MG owners would know something is wrong when you arrive at a meet on time and on all cylinders and they would instantly hate you. Just like when Ford Probe GT owners show up to 240sx meets and everybody hates them the moment they realize it's a Probe GT(because it blows past them while they talk about how real wheel drive is best).

Hmm if that is true, i know for sure Entity is Dutch. That would make me wonder... which ex-dev or close associate do i know that has ties with CCP and has the dutch nationality.... Let play the game: Who is! First question... Are you a women?



If he's really what he says he is: Pic's or it isnt true!
He lost his credibility when he tried to rip me off in an aggressively attempt to buy some T2 bpo's extremely cheap. I kinda kept him on a leash, gave my friends and me a good laugh



Omg! So you are saying that for over the past 6 years all my sub money when to the actual initial design of EVE? Omg i must have missed something! Where exactly did the value for the customer, according to you, went to? The words: 4 year, negelection and subscription theft, raises in my mind...

There is always a risk that a limited edition anything will go back into production and not be limited. There is always a risk of clones. Just look at Genvolution implants or whatever.

Mark my words. Geckos are not always going to be rare either. :D

But i understand the issue. But it is a risk that collectors take. And for that matter, its still collected. Unless your speculating to make iskies, in which case losing isk is par for the course.

I can't get angry over this. There is literally zero history behind the Somer give away Emergency Responder variant. In fact, it should be a SKIN. It was an afterthought give away to alleviate player anger. The golden magnate was a different story to older players.

For a minute i was thinking about "A PLEX Ship Skin" available for every single ship in game. That's gonna be hilarious. Price - 30 Days Pilot's Extention License.

That Scorp was meant as a first dip into the whole skin/get rich from vanity stuff idea and as such it's different from other special/rare ships. Still, changing that into a skin is already a big problem as you can't board/fly it anymore without linking it to that character.


Also, there's a whole lot of obvious non-haves (not that I have one) showcasing their jealousy in this thread.
