My only issue with this is its golden. A non race specific color would be better. Screw Amarr pods.

I guarantee you that a few people are going to be complete idiots and unplug theirs.
You should probably plan on addressing this, either by replacing it when people do this or by making some sort of extra warning within the client or official statement that you can never get the implant back.

I'd like it if a GM would replace the implant (back into the slot, so it can't be sold) if a player removes it by mistake and petitioned within a reasonable timeframe (not a player switching pod colours just for the sake of it).

Really, this pod should have a bonus. Something like +3 to warp strengh and immune to bubble.




That would result in alot of CE being sold, so when that EA guy sees your suggestion he goes "DO IT DO IT!!!!"
Because breaking game mechanics for profit is in EA their blood.

If it's sellable, and you can unplug it, I can almost garantee that people will be unpluging them in a couple years when the price goes way up thinking they'll be able to resell them. Not sure if I'm looking forward to laughing, or just feel bad in advance for the players that aren't aware.

Sometimes you just have to start a new series to explain things.

The perfect pay to win item: no game impact, pure vanity.

Well done. I would like to see more of these. If players are willing to pay to dress up their barbie doll, please, do not disappoint them.

[I would finally switch on the CQ if there was a cat, lol]

On the internet, you can be whatever you want to be. It is amazing that so many people chose to be stupid.

I just realized...
Either there can be no Pay To Win in an open-ended/sandboxy game... or basically everything is Pay To Win.

If flying a Golden Pod is winning for you... you payed to win.
If you don't care for shooting ships, dunno, really enjoy flying aroung in your covops and enjoy the scenery... is gold ammo pay to win for you?

Can you please tell me where I'm wrong? Tippia maybe?

Yeah, it's almost as if CCP has a sense of humor, and were using the history to make a joke.


I find that CCP has a great sense of humor. Sadly most of the anal retentive 'internet spaceships is serious business' types can't seem to see it.

"but gold ammo" instead of ammo they made the golden pod. Now that is fit for a Greek tragedy.
