EVE General Discussion

At the current rate it will be a % drop out of the aurum store, like CSGO cases. Once CCP sees a way to squeeze revenue out of people they latch on to it, no matter if the feature is left out to dry and left to wither on the vine like so many others. Still waiting on that dev blog by the way...

Corp aurum wallet that members can donate to.

Frankly, I'm still surprised you guys didn't do this, then just charge people aurum to get an alliance logo, rather than have size/age requirements.

Um just dont try to monetize it at all??

Make it come from some drop bpc and cost isk on market.

We need a skins/monetize devblog asap so we can all get the true idea and goal on table.
You dont need to make $$ for everything.

An alliance wants a titan? They buy it with isk. They want a station? Buy it with isk. They want a pink station?? Only for RL Monies!

Thats wrong

In economics there are goods that are non - exclusive and non-rival.

Station skins are both guys.

The fact that Alliance X makes a pink station doesnt mean Alliance B cant have a pink or green station too.
Also anyone docking there can recieve the full benefit of going awwww look how cute.

A 1day old guy can fly to null and recieve the same satisfaction and same utility gained from it.

Its like a park made in a rundown section of town.
You think you should start charging people that walk by the park a fee?

And the freaking city/town/state builds the park. Its a public good.

You created the skins, put them in the game for free as drops and itll be a public good and individual alliances can find the drops and sell them according to demand/effort to obtain said drops.



And get us that devblog before any more monetization talk again.

From the patch notes:

Station Services
Station services for outposts and conquerable stations are now enabled/disabled using the Entosis Link module. They have become immune to regular damage.
The structures have been moved away from the center of station to more appropriate locations on the station model. Each type of station/outpost has a different layout of service locations.
Services will take 5 minutes of uncontested Entosis Link activation (after completing a warm-up cycle) to enable/disable. To provide a defensive bonus, the time take to disable a service is increased according to the solar system's occupancy multiplier (more details in the dev blogs linked above)
Activity Defense Multiplier
System Sovereignty Index values now combine to form a single Activity Defense Multiplier. In this release the multiplier modifies the time required to disable station services, and in future releases it will modify the time required to capture and reinforce sovereignty structures.
Activating an Entosis Link module will now trigger a Weapon Timer. This causes the normal penalties on the ship (cannot jump/dock or switch ships in space)
A director in an alliance’s executor corporation is now able to set a default alliance vulnerability time. Currently this has no effect, but will allows alliances to pre-set their timer in preparation for the next stage of sovereignty changes coming in AEGIS.


That is still a pretty big change there and the blogs so far have only covered it at a very high level. I was expecting that each phase of launch would be covered by a very detailed blog covering the specifics of said phase and what people need to know and expect. As I said - mud, clear as. Too late now.

so what you are saying is.. you don;t read dev blogs? or forum post? or twitter? or slack? or listen to interviews? you missed hte huge threadnaught on the sov changes?

What you are talking about is JUST sov changes. what is coming out tuesday has no effect on current pos' and no new structures are coming. Outpost are changing, and the first phase of sov is what is coming tuesday. There is a TON of information on this. And has been for months. you are confusing Structures and fozzy sov.

A good quote: "a lack of perpetration on your part, doesn;t constitute and emergency on mine" its your responsibility to follow information as it comes, and on fozzy sov alone there is TONS.

This is something CCP should take a look at implementing asap!

I agree with your closing statement, make using this Entosis link an act of aggression resulting in CONCORD showing up to hit the aggressor head on. also I agree as well this is all just speculations as to what the new structures and sov holdings will be in the future so you're right, people just need to BREATHE!

I think you're just trying to start **** about whatever issue you can find. First you were outraged on behalf of the highsec industrialists, then you were outraged because the highsec industrialists get "special treatment". And how that that's fallen through, you're outraged by CCP charging money for something that's purely aesthetic.

Guess what? An entrepreneurial 1 day player can buy a plex and sell it for isk. Or they can buy AUR and buy the skins and sell THOSE for isk. And there'll be a market for it. And he's not missing out on anything because he could also buy both those things with isk made in game. You seem to want people to think that these skins are only attainable by the people who buy it themselves. That's nowhere near the truth.

I don't think I'm going to take anything you say seriously anymore.

I prefer instant war with Marmites.

If we only could apply to Concord, I would quit the whole war stuff.
