I resubbed about 2 weeks ago after a 2+ year break to go waste all that time playing another mmo (swtor). When i returned i noticed i had a boat load of items to receive.

It was all this v v v

Now i figured that the clothes and the blueprint were useable of course but what about all these other items. Are they useable or are they just trophies to clutter a station can. I noticed that the same items were also on the market. Are people buying this stuff?

Sorry if this has been asked before in the past....still trying to get caught up on things.

Destiny always seems decades away, but suddenly it's not decades away; it's right now. But maybe destiny is always right now, right here, right this very instant, maybe.

You can contract me any unwanted items that are cluttering your station and I will dispose of them properly so that they do not harm the environment.

They are collectables. They have no utility other than a cosmetic keepsake.

People buy them.

These are rare "memorable mention" items that were given to everyone.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

Surely they're not mindless, there's history right there. Clearly also the best Mining Laser in-game!

The irony......

A goon that doesnt harm the environment.

You should red Alice Saki's Good Posting Guide. It's a very good read.

Alas, superopcalypse, Fozziegate or whatever name you want to give it, the current direction of supers has prompted her to unsub and leave the game. She's still around for a while (and I hope she reverses her decision), but you might be able to get your copy signed if you are quick.

funny calling it mindless, when they put much thought into creating these memorabilia

These items are rather interesting if you actually take the time to find out what they all mean / stand for.

Type the names into "Google" & do some reading P
