EVE General Discussion

INB4 Eve Online - Origin Exclusive.

It seems like a really really bad idea. I love unique content and why is because it is unique!! Make new unique stuff, don't mess up stuff already there. Didn't you watch the "Incredibles" CCP, "if everyone is super then no one is!!"

Also CCP, giving a player corp a free isk machine is beyond a bad idea, at least make it look like you had to earn your isk machine like the moons!

Sad sad sad CCP. But if you are committed to free isks for corps, I'd like to point out Tada O is a very old and trusted corp in Eve, please just deposit our free rare swag in our museum hangar in Olo and I'll personally make sure it goes to the most worthy players in Eve at my earliest convenience!

Issler

Sonmer blink being given anything is offensive but giving him something like a gold magnate really takes the biscuit.

He is the biggest cruck in eve and should be banned not given more publicity

No ingame ships for events, but giving away ships for lotteries to earn ISK for a third party to CCP is apparently fine

Oh, I think CCP will have a pretty good idea.

Sure, they could keep it all... and destroy their credibility with CCP and with the community in an incredibly high profile way. They would be literally chucking away their lucrative long term income stream for a (comparatively) tiny amount of ISK.

Granted, they would have a certain notoriety afterwards which might appeal to some, but I have a hard time believing they would be so INCREDIBLY STUPID as to do what people are suggesting.

Really, think about it folks.

Worst idea all year.

Heritage.
Rare/ extinct ships should not be thrown out willy nilly, in fact they shouldn't be recreated at all. Once CCP destroys the player built history of the ships they cannot reclaim it. I remember reading about the imperial apocs and that guy who lost it in the AT and started a war over it. You cannot make this stuff up, but you can devalue it. What is gonna happen with these new golden magnates/ guardian vexors? They will be moth balled in high sec and never undocked. GG CCP, GG.

Somer blink.
Somer is rich enough to buy their own prizes, they don't need CCPs help and already have a community spotlight. Content created: zero. If CCP feels such a need to trash the history of the ships then they should at least do it in a content creating way. Have a RP storyline, give one to the tuskers for a frig FFA/ death race prize, have an exploration contest to find a 'lost golden magnate'.Anything else would be more fun and have the 'i was there' factor, but somer blink, aka. person with lots of isk wins? What a joke.

Oh and that dev post CCP? So bad. I have been playing for just over a year and i don't want to own one of these ships. I would rather they stayed dead and rare.

First time playing eve that i feel like unsubbing an account or 2.

Interesting to see what CCP gives as explanation, too bad they probably stay silent and hope it blows over :(

Except they could give 50 billion ISK for EVE vegas and still turn on a ******** profit. Nobody really know what kind of income this will really generate for them so they can give any non stupid amount and call it that. Nobody can track what was invested in blinks because of this draft as opposed to the real regular operation. They don't have to burn thier rep at all. THey can just say it generated X isk so we are giving that even if in reality it generated 10 times that.

Not someone who often posts on the forums, but I think this is a terrible idea. Absolutely horrible.

Eve was magical in that certain people had incredibly rare ships. Adding 2 new golden magnates isn't going to really change their rarity, but its going to completely destroy the legend. I remember first hearing about the magnate and trying to think how I could get one, then realizing it was gone. Forever.

Its a harsh thing in eve, to lose something. But that is what makes Eve so unique from other games. When something is gone, its gone forever. Never to return. Now, all I can tell newbies is "Wait until some new eve event, CCP might bring it back?" Hell no! It should be that they missed their chance and that they should go for a new unique ship.

CCP, you're adding ships to the game for the Alliance tourney, those are awesome and can only be won in the tourney. I know developing a new ship takes time and effort. You have to think of balancing, designing, implementing, testing, etc. But either make something new for this event, or give out something that wasn't a one off.

And while I'm on the topic of one off ships. I want to see more of them. 50 hulls for an alliance tourney is cool, but why not an event that gives other hulls in smaller amounts?

Fair point, they would probably have been served better to distinguish it from the original somehow... such as calling in the Golden Magnate Mark II or something along that line.
