Above is a link to the "Vanity" Item the Stratios Emergency Responder.

From what i can see this Stratios Variant is an enhanced version of the Stratios that we can currently get ingame, as seen with the larger drone bandwidth of 125mb which is 25mb larger then the stratios.

This ship is also said to the the prize for that somer blink give away...

Is the this new trend for give away ships?

Previously the ships given away for these community events have been vanity or in other words just a pretty skin and no real bonus over the regular ones we get in TQ. See the IWS as an example.

Obviously the Alliance Tournament is different but i do not think a give-away qualifies for enhanced ships.

i posted this before. but i found that it would fit here too

about the other very limited ships in eve (not talking about the ishukone scorp) but the gaurdian vexors, the silver magnates, the gold magnates, the imperial geddon and apocalypse. the raven state issue, federation megathron, and the tribal tempest and revenant, there was little. or just NO argue about it. so why would it be with this stratios emergency responder.


i guess it has to do with you new generation of eve players. unknowing about somer blink. unknowing about those other rare items. so now they see somer gives a chanche to get a special and very rare issue (only 3 ships) of the stratios. they see it to late. they dont play somer. and they go full mad they didnt get anything, or a got chanche. but if u read the damn forum posts that came with eve vegas. then u should have known somer was giving these ships. then u HAD the chanche to participate and win. but since most of you find lotteries bad. you dont participate. or some of you dumbbears dont even read the forum post. and then you find out later. and get jealy. and go full mad. and that somer gives it away. i understand ccp chose this 3d party. its the most used. and also trusted 3d party. i would love to hear your reactions if they gave evealopalous the ship to give away.

i have a feeling this new generation wants everything for nothing. giving nothing. doing noting, and reading nothing. and that this generation of eve players clearly dont know, or WANT to know. that UNIQUE items are a UNIQUE part of eve.

and i dont realy understand you have to be so angry about wich 3rd parties do it. cuz do you realy expect CCP would use YOU for giving the ship away ?

Gambling relies on that sense of instant want for its business.

This is nothing to do with generational qualities of various vintages of EvE players.

And no, no they aren't unique to EvE.

1) Does this ship exist in-game? If so, how did it come to be and who has it?

2) Obviously not a vanity item if it has better stats that its original. Ishukone Watch Scorps do not have better performance IIRC.

3) Sexy as hell, do want.

It will be kept as a very special ship and restricted to a limited amount of characters selected for maximum amount of tears by enraged posters who feel that they are just as special (or at least that what their mum always says).

And 2 years later it'll be released as Christmas present for everyone, making sure to trigger the rest ;)

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

What are you even trying to say? You're complaining about a "new generation of eve players" but discussing this new CCP policy of just giving unique ships to player-made corporations that they like. Not-new eve players might recall the last time CCP trying giving unique things to certain corporations . . .

When your tirade against/for player run casinos runs out of steam, you say, " i would love to hear your reactions if they gave evealopalous the ship to give away." You clearly don't understand that the reaction would be identical whoever got these gift ships. I assume you'd be fine if CCP was giving them to Goonswarm, right?

But the best was when you said, "i have a feeling this new generation wants everything for nothing" as if this whole situation was not CCP giving unique ships away for nothing. Unless I missed the part where SOMER was paying in LP and isk for the BPCs . . . did I miss that part? I must have missed that part . . .

Also, you type like you suffer from a learning disability. It makes the point I think you're trying to make much less persuasive, and I have to assume the reason for your rant was to persuade others who do not agree with you to change their minds. In that, your post is destined for failure.

honestly enhanced versions of ships should only be given out at the alliance Tournament, if there is a player give away or in game player tournament then only vanity items should be given away.

that's just how i feel about the situation...

furthermore please lets not bring out he ad hominem...

i would just reduce the drone mb on the Stratios Emergency Responder to 100mb and be done with it.

There are many, many people with learning disabilities who know better than to ask for special treatment from others. Don't paint us all with the same brush.

I don't care about the existence of a few special items in the game, vanity or otherwise.

What's troubling is that they're handing a fistful of unearned money to Somer Blink. There is literally no difference between this and directly adding isk to Somer's wallet on a whim.

It's nice that they want to "support the community" but those efforts should fall FAR short of directly handing over IG money and assets.

It's baffling that they apparently think this is okay.
