There is no mention of SKINs in the Mosaic patch notes. Are SKINs coming with Mosaic or do you guys have to punt?

Regarding ze Minmatars: https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Ammatar

Quote:
The Ammatar were originally known as the Nefantar Tribe, one of the seven tribes of the Minmatar. During the Amarr occupation - when the Empire invaded the Minmatar homeworlds - the Nefantar collaborated extensively with Imperial agents.

Some time back I remember there being some buzz around marauder skins on sisi. Any idea when/if those could hit TQ? Or did they do so already and I missed them completely?

They exist on TQ but have not been seeded, and every time I've asked about them there's been no response from any Dev's.

These look pretty sweet, Black Ops skins can't come soon enough (also unique models for black ops).

They're still coming in Mosaic on Tuesday - a dev confirmed yesterday in a comment on a reddit post, but I can't dig it up right now.

Heh, no, I'm very much aware of that. You're missing the point.

That person that purchased the PLEX got what they wanted, namely your ISK when you purchased it from the market. That part of the equation is done.

We are discussing the cost of these SKIN licenses to the people that want to purchase them, and the fact remains that you need not spend a nickel to purchase them from either the player market or (more importantly) directly from the NES store.

The fact that someone else spent real money in a separate transaction has no bearing on this particular discussion. That transaction is done, and both parties involved got exactly what they wanted from it. YOUR transaction to purchase the SKIN need not involve any of YOUR cash what-so-ever... not when YOU buy the PLEX and not when YOU buy the license.

I don't care if someone else spent money on the PLEX originally, that's their business and has no effect on my personal cash. It was a valid (and completely separate) transaction. In fact I'm pleased that my purely ISK transaction is indirectly benefiting the cash flow for CCP without costing me a thing in real money, as well as benefiting the player that was desperate enough for ISK that he spent his own cash on it.

Sounds like I need to finish my last showcase video (Gallente) this weekend.

At least he's seeing something. Safari on Mac OS X 10.10.3 gives me a blank white screen, and the console shows a bunch of permission issues and 404s.

At least one of the issues is that for security reasons Safari doesn't allow an AJAX call to a server other than the one that hosted the original (calling) page. More detail and a solution are available here.

How many of you DIDN'T try to ship spin that amazing image? If you didn't then I suggest leveling up your ship spinning skill and trying again.


I didn't because your page is bugged in Safari. Previous web 3D models have worked like in the ship viewer (tested it again it still works). But this one doesn't. Can you fix it or post static image place holders please?

What exactly am I supposed to see in those Blog 'previews' - including the spinnable one?

All I see are ships rendered overall in either a horrible muddy charcoal grey or equally horrible dull bluish grey.

If you're posting stuff that doesn't display properly in Internet Explorer - possibly the most widely used browser on the planet - you should be ashamed.

I'm mildly surprised there are still a few people brave enough to use Internet Explorer, even Microsoft doesn't recommend it anymore. Big smile

You sure you don't want to revise your statement? (Oh, and don't be bringing China into this. For the purposes of this discussion, China is irrelevant. Being that they have their own Eve server, and updates)


Aside from that: Whose fault is it that it doesn't work? CCPs, when they're following industry Standards, or Microsoft, when they don't?
