Due to the Easter weekend, the summary this week is quite short. Nonetheless I think that there are quite some interesting things going on! Smile

Happy Easter!

Exciting times are on the way.

Thanks for another excellent Weekly Summary.

And a "Happy Easter" to all.

CCP's sand box is EVE Online.  The sand is owned by CCP.  We pay them a monthly fee to throw the sand at each other.  That is all that is here, so move along. Nothing more to be seen.

So -

not to sound ungrateful for all the new wondrous and wonderful things that CCP rolls out, "but"....I am pretty sure that when people asked for the ability to customize their ships in game, the intent was to have the ability to really customize them, not merely change them to look like everyone else's changed color schemes.

Also - when will we have the ability to actually put our own Corp Logos / Alliance Logos on our ships?

There is custom and there is replicated....<< this guy is tired of replica. Would also be really cool if we could customize or tailor the bonus attributes on any ship we are flying (with in set parameters , penalties and limitations that would apply) of course.

I guess my point is - these customizations seem more like a $$ play for CCP than a individualizing benefit for pilots. CCP feels more and more like US Fed government everyday ....its like we wont let you do it until we figure out how we can make more money off of you. Then -we will only give you a thinned out restricted ability to do what you originally asked for.

Wha Wha - feel so let down....

that makes Kai a sad Panda....

correct you are, and that is why I pay each month- .....so they can make money. but just how deep into my pockets is too deep? I guess if you are spending "daddy's" money.....and he has bottomless pockets ...no big deal.

its a game- and I will stop when it gets too much..is my point. Maybe they should consider a different approach to milking players for money?
