EVE General Discussion

Seems like some flawed logic here. The skin system was designed to create a draw to those same paint jobs, not particular hulls. The feature was not designed for the sake of unique hulls as there is no need or benefit from it under those circumstances.

The clain of trying to "have it both ways" doesn't apply since the single rare item is becoming no less rare and only marginally less distinct and even then only for those that give up the ability to trade the skin. There is room to complain but, until skins change the ships they are on to other ships, It's not much.

If this were the case where the ship was defined purely by the skin that would be a different situation as the whole of the distinction were being given away.

Dude their logic for these things is ass backwards. The assortment of digital prizes for the Fanfest cosplay thing was all over the board. A mix of nice and not-great things to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place... by my math, 2nd place got boned. I can't decide if it's a matter of not playing the game enough to know where items come from, a lack of regard for where they do, or a complete lack of taste.

In general, though, I disagree with limited availability outside of AT. Limit the availability window, but not the quantity. Quafe skins for whoever purchases a Twitch HD stream, yes. Something so mainstream as the SOE gunner jacket for just one person at Fanfest for cosplaying, no.

It's "exclusive" by definition... people will be excluded. But in EVE it causes resentment and anxiety for not much profit benefit. Players should not have reason to direct their ire at the company, but EVE is special.

Your logic is so hilariously stupid people are at a loss for words.

Sup with T2 ships now sharing skins with t1 ships?

They made excuse a while ago that we couldn't use the same skin license for both ships cuz quote "then people could get them confused and not be able to tell them apat"


Now lots of t2/t1 ships with same hull model share same separate skin for sale license.

Y not combination one?
Combo
Value meal!

The thing is , in this game there are no spoiled kids.There are those who achieve wealth by themselves and there are those who stay scrubs .Be it with scamming , taking Alliance money , or just being a verry good trader at the end of the day unless you just buy ingame wealth with rl cash you made this possible yourself and not by being ''spoiled by daddy''.

I can understand why entity is a bit ''upset'' about this , but on the other side entity you should know better by now then to expect CCP to not do something like this.After all this isn't the first time if i recall right that you come to GD to '' reclaim the right for rarity''.

So, there are spoiled kids.

Does that make them spoiled kids if they "made" that cash themselves IRL?

I'm with Entity on this one. Keep up the good fight.

Although I personally threw in the towel a while back and sold off all my unique ships and fashion before they completely lost their value and uniqueness.

Mr Epeen

I see Entity's point and I agree with the sentiment that CCP is just finding a way to make some easy money (perhaps to offset the loss of subs?) but regardless, if both ships undocked it would instantly be clear which is the real thing and which is just a tacky paint job.

And for the record I wouldn't buy a ship skin either, if it ain't the real thing I'm not interested.

Nope ...
