Trebor, having mad storyboarding skills, management knouse and more monies than me - plus having being elected n all - would be an ideal guy to tap to look after a project like this. Sure he's got the time for us.

I would be more than happy to act as trustee for a project like convincing CCP to implement the Dead Horse POS.

However, there is no need to use something awkward like Kickstarter, and in any case, they can't accept PLEX. So just contract me your PLEX ingame, or send me something using PayPal, and I'll get the ball rolling.

PS: I have asked Darius III, a fellow CSM with a great deal of financial and accounting experience, to help coordinate this effort.

It wouldn't be fair to make Trebor do all the work, feel free to send the PLEX/ISK to any member of the CSM, and we will collect it. Make sure to include the feature you want in the reason/contract!

$80k is pocket change in game development terms and the ME3 fanbase is much, much larger than EVE's.

I was alerted that you two were doing something bad in this thread but I'm glad to see things going as they should here. Carry on, gentlemen.

lol, cash for questions T? Why does that ring bells? Maybe it’s the sound of an early xmas.

As much as I’d like to direct a couple of scenes pitching The Mittani as a space faring Lord Byron; fiercely loyal to friends - death to enemies and the heartless heart of corporate capitalism - it just wont fly in EVEs current winter of discontent.

Goons have more than enough assets to spin their own promos anyway. A shame, I imagined such a vividly stark story full of terminal plosions ...

but fer sure PLEX to give the Dead Horse POS legs is a winner I can back.

I trust it is time to kickback, and wait for eager contributors.

30 PLEX sent. To Dovi, of course.

Seriously. You'll find that the creative types that take the heroic risk in contributing time to EVE with their skills are rewarded well with praise and contributions from those that recognise the worth of their efforts.

I don't want to sound patronising, but that's the way it has always been.

If I'm going to give money away it will be to something that will do some good in the real world. Eve is a game I play, not a religion. CCP can take care of Eve, and if they fail at that, I'll play something else. There's a whole big needy world out there. I spend enough money on this game as it is.

I guess that's where you and I differ. EVE is nothing without it's players and the folk that are brave enough to stand up; lead, have the **** taken out of them and carry on regardless with wit and dignity. The big needy world is going to big and needy whether you throw your peanuts in that direction or not. You might as well throw your peanuts at the people who enjoy escaping into the same fantasy world you enjoy.

I, too, wold support a "Kickstarter" style project funding mechanism for EVE features that I'm interested in. My list starts here:

  • Dead Horse POSes
  • Walking in Stations: Public areas
  • Walking in Stations: Establishments (jukeboxes, dancers, exotic dancers for hire)
  • Mining Revamp
  • Logistics is too easy (constraining station inventories, market slots, adding fuel consumption to ships, rental for station hangar space)


Such a scheme would certainly breathe new life to the ancient arts of "F&I Posting" and "Trolling".
