EVE Information Portal

These are new-for-general-consumption.

The idea here is that it is you as a person owning the account who has the wealth. You can then choose to give goodies to your characters. This division will become clearer once we add account wide services to the store that affect the account and not the characters. it is not the characters buying these things, but you as a real life person.

Humm!

Account wide services?

While an extension of the plex for multiple character training would not be to bad.

But based on other games!

This better not include all character accelerated SP learning bonuses or say the ability to have an all character account wide 'station inventory'!

The later would really upset gankers and pirates as you could shift stuff from one end of the EVE Universe without it ever having to leave a station!

I've played with the New Eden Store a little on Singularity and it is far more attractive and tempting than the previous iteration. The layout is clean and uncluttered. I understand why other UI elements are removed - I'm sure you don't want folk backing out of a purchase because hostiles entered system. ;)

The individual items are large enough to be seen with some clarity, but it feels counter-intuitive to not be able to interact with them in the same manner we're used to in every other aspect of EVE. I get that it's already been explained that it's a feature that's slated for the future...


...which is good to hear because I'd be disinclined to purchase anything that the vendor wouldn't let me examine beforehand.

Was the decision to launch without 3D item browsing due to technical or man-hour limitations (as opposed to a marketing decision)? I note that the store items can be viewed by exiting the store and doing an item search in the standard EVE UI, so we can give the skins a more thorough examination before shelling out, but that's laborious.

I'm really glad that the early trials must've gained enough traction for this to be seen as a worthwhile pursuit as the store's success presumably greenlights future ship customisation functionality as showcased at Fanfest 2014.

I look forward to being able to attach searchlights and Reaver-like smoke-trails to my exhaust.

Am I the only one to think that this is a very odd and bad idea?
I think some things like these should remain unchangeable...

Skins are far too expensive for PvP, especially for the smaller hulls. Why not price them such that they are a high volume item for mass consumption? They are purely novelty for me at the moment and nowhere near worth the price.

They already completely changed the look of some bloodlines when the new character creator was added. So I don't see any problems with bloodline changes.

However gender changes seem abit odd.

I'll see your love, and quadruple it if I can finally show off a little leg instead of just arms, belly or uhgg ... 'cleavage'.

Great stuff! Looks like the new approach will make it easier to iterate on new options.

Really hoping that at some point you bring back clothing options from the old character creator. I picked Khanid because of all the cool headwear and collars.

Steve Ronuken, how come I wasn't aware of your enthusiasm for this stuff?

When I canvassed all the CSM candidates pretty much none of them (with maybe one exception) listed avatars/clothing/WiS related stuff as something that interested them at all.

Just had to ask, at the risk of posting somewhat off-topic.
