The Palatine does not have its own model?

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.

Same as a keepstar only with a little gold trim. Frankly, that's pretty underwhelming for requiring a small loan of 200 trillion ISK (CCP can't satisfy every centipede).

Considering it's literally just a bling Keepstar and is singular, why would it have it's own model? That's a crazy amount of Art team work for a singular model for a start, and it is a Keepstar at the end of the day.

I would hope the palatine gets it's own model down the line. Something that makes it look as rediculous as it's price because yeah, right now it's a bit lame.

If anything, make the model solid gold. Right now, China is always beating us in gold production. Make the Tranquility server great again. FULL GOLD.

Exactly because it is singular and unique in the universe and supposed to be the epitome of power. A mere Keepstar with a bit of bling on the edges does not convey that. A mere different name in the Show Info window or on your overview does not convey that. I do not care about if creating such a unique model costs a lot of art team work. It is their job, and currently they rather waste it on new skins, new NES garbage and other useless stuff instead of making the one thing actually unique and bodacious that should be exactly that. Just slapping a gold trimming on a Keepstar is again just the easy mode way that CCP loves so much for a lot of things these days.

I for once agree with something in this forum. if your going to have something unique that's going to cost massive amount of isk why only a minor change to the station? it should be a change worthy of what it is even though we know goonswarm is going to be the ones owning it between their massive isk empire and more than enough people willing to buy the plex, atleast make it worth something for the rest of the galaxy to jump after

The point was to literally make sure there was no point in building it other than to see if players would still build it

Just Gold is so Lame. Ammarian Ships in general are not more expensive for just the golden look by the same compared power level. So therefor gold doesnt cost anything. So therefor the palatine Citadel has to be more Unique!!!
Also i believe the artwork would be well spent.


PS.: Do i get to build a cheaper "unique" version, if i pick the Minmatar Skin. (as a fan of rust)

Ideas are like Seeds. I'd chop fullgrown trees to start a fire.

It's cool that you rant at them for working on skins while asking for a skin on a citadel.

A different model is not a skin.

A more elaborate SKIN is at least a better placeholder while waiting for a full blown new art asset. Throw some money at CCP. They may get on it a bit quicker. Bear

I throw over 400 Euro per year at them. Isn't that enough? 400 Euro for a single game per year!

Either way, a more elaborate texture for the Palatine would already be a start. It is ridiculous how easy it is to satisfy people these days. Developers don't even need to try any more and people are already throwing their wet panties at them. Ugh

Make it gold plated...
...and give it a disco ball...
...and unique station chatter audio that sounds like it's music from a dance club!

"Tomahawks?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."
