EVE Information Portal

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised in the future :) (no I can't tell you when)

I suppose the reason I really don't like this is it means CCP is either going to be fighting itself from putting custom skins in or will charge over 30 dollars for their use.

We are currently at half a monocle per ship.

The system already supports this, they've just chosen not to introduce any SKINs of this type during the change over. They've talked extensively about using this in the future though...

Maby missed that... link ?

Questions first:

I only saw a CSM "confirm" that items which are tagged with "market" will not be re-seeded and only use the current supply in the game. There was no mention of that in the devblog, and no mention of that from a dev here, and no mention when or how these skins will be obtained in the game after the patch. Where does a CSM get this information that there will be no further seeding of this item?


I'm not quite following here. You get a Megathron in ADDITION to the fitted Megathron you already have? Why?
Or if you get a standard Megathron to REPLACE the Quafe Megathron, what happens with the rigs and modules?

Stuuu~uuuff now!

If you activate the item, it becomes a permanent addition which cannot be reversed, right? I think this is a problem. You can buy Clothes for Aurum, wear them for a while, and then sell them for ISK if you don't like them any more. You also do not lose these clothes when podded. I think there should be a "redeem back" option for skin licenses if there is none planned yet c:

Okay... now... even if I had NO problem with the way the skins are handled as mechanic... the price difference among them in the same ship class is hilarious. Please don't reply with "prettier skins cost more"... because... who thinks "rust-online" Nugoeihuvi skins look prettier than "space camo" Wiyrkomi? So maybe there are people who think that, but... so what? Only shows how people like different things and no opinion about DESIGN should be more worth than another.
Now please don't either come with the "better brands cost more". There is nothing better here, opinions on design are subjective, and there is no discrimination in ingame detail, quality, or any other value, so there is no reason for the price to be different.

And who says which DIFFERENT ships are prettier than others? Who has the right to say that Rust Online Merlin looks better than Kador Punisher ? Those are COMPLETELY different ships with COMPLETELY different designs. What was going on in your mind there? D:
I hope you didn't base them off current ship purchases, because really, that would be totally flawed, since many people didn't bother for a ship skin because they didn't care about buying another copy of that ship, or to destroy their rigs :c

I still think it would have been better to transition to a destructible item that is put into a new slot on the ship and can be removed at will like a module, but is guaranteed to be destroyed upon kill like a rig. This would keep a constant supply and demand for the ship skin, while giving value to the skinned destruction on killmails. It could still be freely traded like clothes which don't lose their value after they're "used".
And again, I would like to see the option to purchase both, for different prices. The person running pvp a lot and gets their ships shot down left and right will go for the permant unlock, while the person doing comfy pve who won't get shot would use the cheaper "used-until-killed" version. Both sides are happy, money runs in from both sides c:

At any rate, please DO NOT consider to include ship skins in killmails in the future. It has no effect, and no value, nothing is destroyed.

I think the 30day restriction is a poor system that you probably try to copy from other korean-style games. Would it be so bad to adjust the drop rates of these skins in order to justify their "permanence"? Of course this ties in to the previous thing I mentioned, which would be make them destructible as a slotted item on a ship. Or would it be so bad to add a rare drop that is permanent? You could even go as far as to have a low chance to "invent" the 30day skin into a permanent one with a research drop BPC.

I know it is not going to happen but... I would love to see standing based skins c: They would only be able to buy / unlock when you reach a certain standing with the corporation, something like 9.0 or something, and you will be declined the use of the skin once you drop below this standing. The skin is still available for you if unlocked once but, you know, not usable as long as you don't have that standing. It might be a visual upgrade to an existing skin you need to purchase from the Aurum store first before you then can apply this upgrade from the standing based one.
This could also be a possible solution to make the 30day skin permanent, by showing your respect and loyalty for those pirate factions?

Damn

DO WANT

Instead of having a very limited edition single use ship, you'll have a very limited edition permanent skin to use.

AUR prices are prohibitives,nearly 1 plex or 20 bucks for a ugly permanent skin ... Just tell us you want the plex price to go up

I was expecting much more fancy and cool looking skins from this feature atm i m dissapointed except for some very rare ones.

And no i don't hate i just don't see the point to introduce that kind of feature wich as probably required a lot of manpower,for such a poor artistic result.

I m not buying until we can buy AUR for cheaper or price to go down.

no, one was given during the recall program. so tjhere are not many of them. the rorq one was part of the eve mystery code.

I don't know how many times this has to be said. "Market" means the only way to obtain the skin is to purchase it from a player on the market, not that it is being seeded on the market.
