2 weeks keeps it feeling special and limited-time. Also puts a cap on the number of SKINs available so market traders can have something to inflate over time ;)

NOTE that not all of the "Spirit" skins dropping in the Gala sites have market entries, yet.

ugly skins. its just youle skins recolored red instead of blue.
same ugly two tone spot pattern though and now it just looks like you flew through the side of a space barn instead of blue ice from an airplane toilet.

but for purposes of selling them to people with awful taste and too much money what level are these sites?


Fairly easy, 5 fast frigates, 5 cruisers and a battlecruiser with loot.

A bit hard for non maxed skilled Alphas, and so far only seen skins, apparently there are synth blue pill drugs dropping, so site competition is going to go RIGHT down after people realise this.

Cerebral boosters were worth getting, even if when you worked out the extra, it wasn't so much and the skins were a sort of free extra,

Sites for skins and rare dropping valueless drugs is not going to attract. It is not going to get most people logging on each day for.

It's getting worse each time.

Possibly they are finding the point where no one bothers, and ups the reward for the next one. The danger of this is people just do not bother again.

I assumed they were going to be scannable sites on the 1/10-10/10 scale like ded sites in gallente/min space.
They're about as time consuming as a forsaken hideaway for me with the elite frigates so 2-3/10 tops.
I've done maybe 20 and only gotten skins, prior to reading your post I was 99.9% sure skins were the only drops. Didnt know they dropped anything else.

So, the original post showed a picture of the Hecate SKIN, yet it is not in the game. Are we getting it at a later time, or is it going to be accessible via another means?

EDIT: Added in today's patch

Edit 2: Can't activate SKIN Evil

I thought for a second the main post had written:
"Click here to Find out how CCP can make money out of this"
Something something selling skins in a store.

I wouldn't mind it if the skins weren't so splotchy. I suppose they are going for "cammo" but in space that is stupid. Living in the middle of america I get plenty of "cammo fashion." It would be nice to have some skins that have clean lines with some shiny midnight blues, blacks and or grays.

Minmatar need some skins to hide that cammo default. I would also like to be able to skin the minmatar stations.

Edit still haven't seen one in a wormhole. Anyone see one there yet?

Just found a little easter egg from CCP on the new gala skin for nereus. I'm curious were it Valentine's day gift, or accidental brushstroke that went into production - but still it looks cute Blink

Will the SKIN's for the Anshar, Iteron Mark V, and Talos be added to the loot drop tables, so that we can complete the Guardian's Gala set? Also, the Ninazu SKIN would be dope Big smile

Nice to see some official info on future content coming down the pipeline. Those skins look pretty cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the PvP that happens in these sites.

PvE player, takes out the first two waves, using up charges and capacitor and their tank.

PvP player counting wrecks on D-scan warps in or decloaks during the last fight and blasts the PvE-fitted player and takes everything.

Completing a site and someone else takes the skin from the BC, the wreck was mine (it was white not yellow) and yet he didnt go suspect... is that correct?

It's not Camo. Just spots. These are recolored glacial drift skins. So I assume it's the "bobbing bits of ice" floating in the water that was Intended for glacial drift. Like icebergs maybe, if that makes sense. If you color it red it no longer makes sense and just comes across as ugly spots. I mean, don't get me wrong the glacial skins are just as ugly that's just what I believe is the rationale behind it.
They should have spent more time and made thwm unique skins instead of just palette swaps.
