Market Discussions

your post i cannot really make sense of either.

they simply mean that certain ships will have the ability to be painted whilst the others will not and if you watched the o7 video they showed an example of the megathron which if i can remember correctly had the choice of all current skins for it plus others.
as for the gnosis and co. I would put my isk on nothing happening to them as what they intend on doing will have little to no effect on them. It's in my opinion that the only ships that will be available to be painted will be the t1 racial hulls and their adaptations as we see now.
for your third part, I myself have never been a fan of micro transactions so I never touched it so im not sure if your talking actual ships or skins, if its skins then refer to above.

just my 2 iskies.

Unique ships and SKINs are two diffrent tings the first ones have diffrent stats(or should) and ships with SKINs have standard stats.

I doubt they're looking at taking for issue a Raven state issue and making it openly available to all, I imagine that you misinterpreted what was said, Sounds like they mean some ships will remain unique (such as AT Prizes or Ultra rare 1 of a kind ships) where others, Such as ships that everyone was issued when certain expansions came out. this seems to be what they're hinting at

Well, they'll still be "Unique" as the name will be For instance Perkone issue, However the new skins would be applicable to any ship, so a regular megathron could have a different skin, However its not the actual issue version, I doubt it'd drastically effect the prices to be honest

The Eula sais otherwise. No doubt there is a question in the popularity of the ships. Their prizes show's that there is a larger demand than supply.

Why CCP simply doesnt create another source of income to allow these ships to be more common and turn to spacedust? I would plex in $1000 for sure to get my hands on a particulary tourney edition ship!

Besides that, it is a nice price. A very populair one. But EVE has changed. The honour is greatly, a reward is on its place, but to hand out 5 Trillion for first place to 10 people is beyond my believe (50 ships 100b a piece!!)

I have removed and edited a couple posts.

That's an interesting case. I'm not sure. It's something which will, almost certainly, be discussed in further depth. (So you have an idea of what the summits are like, all the meetings run for the full time allocated. It's never enough time, even with 4 days)

However, even if they're converted into skins, they wouldn't be skins which people can then buy from the NES.

Im 90% sure this is going to happen

People with current unique skin ships such as the 'quafe edition' megathron ..... will log in one day after the patch ... and see a normal megathron where their quafe edition megathron was once docked. What they will find instead is that they wont have to purchase the Quafe edition skin as it will already be active on their account.

Tbh this change is a no brainer, CCP would be stupid to keep the current ships as separate just so that the whiny Speculators dont lose any isk. Speculators need to realize that this is the price you pay when you play the speculation game ... if you cant deal with change then GTFO already.

I consider myself a clever MD'r

how do i interpret this?

herbal burp aderp nailed it, and you are mad.

Great change if it has already created this butthurt thread on rumor.

but hey, its not as if you were ever going to undock ine was it?

so nothings changed.

deal with it.

You do seem butthurt that there are players who have money to invest, be it in PLEX, ships, or bonds :) This is the market discussion forum and we can discuss future price development of all things that are worth investing in.

We are trying to figure out which types of ships will be affected by this, that is all. It is not as if the ships will suddenly become worthless if transformed to licenses. Can you explain to me how a Guardian Vexor license would be worthless? If there are 20 GV licenses in the game and you don't have one, how would you get one of those worthless licences? Duh.

The only expected effect would be on cheaper ships that one person might use more than one of because they blow up. Now he would not need to buy a new one.

However, if some ship types are to be *re-released* as skins in higher numbers than the number of ships currently existing, that is something else indeed, and worth trying to anticipate. If individual ships are simply turned into licences, the effect should be minimal.

But.... I am just speculating :)
