The typical price for them on contracts at the moment is more like 80mill. That's what happens with items that are finite, over time they become more rare and more valuable. The issue here is that CCP are taking away what makes these things special; the fact that they were finite in number.

Also it appears they are also offering Zephyrs as a buddy program reward. So there is no big price tag on those to limit numbers there.

I got mine a week before I unsubbed for Incarna. 25 million. I don't know what drove them up in price.

Over time, possessing one of these things will become a nice marker that you've been playing EVE for a significant length of time. Although it's purely sentimental, sentimentality is quite often the only thing that keeps me playing EVE!

Sorry to break the sentimentality but I came after and got mine for 25mil.

They are cheap.

More like market happened. When I logged in to check the market in the local overpriced minihub I found 5 of them at 18 mil each. THe whole reason for the contract price spikes is because most people don't use them for the Apotheosis anymore

Weren't they just to allow people to explore Wormholes better as a starter ship? I'm probably talking about the wrong ship, but yeah.

It's not so much "collectable" as it is "Useless"

And it costs 150 dollars


You're thinking of the Zephyr.

The Apotheosis does bugger all but the point of any of these things was that they are supposedly issued once and are therefore limited in number. Ergo, 'collectable'.

Re-issuing the thing takes away its significance as being 'unique' and renders the whole exercise pointless. If they are going to be recycled as promotional items to push some PLEX sales then they really are pointless their numbers are no longer limited.


I think they'll just give it a different paint job like they did for the "Interbus Shuttle aka Gallente Shuttle" from the Apocrypha limited boxed release from Atari. Talk about lazy. if they don't give it a paint job, it will be the ultimate of lazy. Which still sucks imo. So if true, a blow to unique collectible ships, just give it all away and destroy the whole concept :(
