EVE General Discussion

It's especially important that the ability to put corp and alliance logos on your ship not be tied down to the NeX store. Getting into good corporations is what keeps people in the game, and sporting the logo will only help bolster corp morale and keep people playing longer. If new players cannot afford to do this, it'd be unfortunate.

Nex store should be gotten rid of along with Aurum. They are both reminders of how pathetically wrong CCP was getting it, and it's a symbol of how they say their loyal customers as nothing more than a cash cow.

Get rid of Nex, get rid of Aurum. I already pay for this game once, why should I pay for it twice just to get the features I helped pay to implement?

I fully support the NeX store as a concept. But in implementation it has gone a bit awry.

Some things I feel would get people to accept the NeX store:
-Maintain the vanity item thing
-Cheaper
-No direct items, make everything BPCs (with an exception of a trade good I'll mention later)

For clothes the BPCs can be made from a combinations of textiles and other minerals which could come from some PI stuff.

Custom paint jobs would be done with "paint cans" and these paint cans would be made out of a new form of gas (adding new value to ladar sites in high sec) and would be made form a POS mod that can be anchored in high sec and is made from a "paint reaction" or BPC type thing you buy from the NeX store.

In addition to fully customizable paint jobs there should be some "faction issue" jobs. To get these you would use a combination of LP and a "paint token" which you buy from the Nex Store (the one item i mentioned before).

This way you can get some awesome premade ones like the Ishukone, Roden Shipyards, Thukker Mix, Khanid Navy, Blood Raider, Guristas.... the list goes on and on.

Not only does this give a new value to the LP store and give us some cool paintjobs to use it also adds to the RP community by letting them fly colors of the NPC corp or faction they want to affiliate to.

All of these BPCs, tokens, and etc will all be sellable on the market of course. This can turn into a new kinda of market of people that make and distribute paints and clothes, and you might even get a small group fo people that make a living of buying PLEX off the market, turning it into AUR and reselling the BPCs and tokens on the normal market.

Creates new industries and keeps all aspects of the game accessible to everyone.

(Anyone who discounts the fact that you can get AUR without spending money IRL by buying an PLEX with ISK needs to be stabbed in the face)

Ive been screaming for this for a while.

Make the BPOs available as well when the technology allows. Allow players to 'research' mateirals colors textures and cuts and build the disposable in packages at a time to account for the massive consumption of an oversized material. Make these destroyable.

BPCs would be generic clothing and cheap.

NeX could also then sell blank pernament contracts to apply to any one article you like not to part with.

Because they can't afford the 1B monocle and think that the 1B monocle gives players some kind of PvP advantage over them?

I personally like the idea of being able to buy vanity items - and for all of the people wishing that they could just spend ISK to get their fancy paintjob: you can currently buy everything available in the NeX store for ISK on the eve market. You just have to wait for a player to spend Aurum for the item and then put the item on the market.

Basically everyone whining about the NeX store is butthurt because either they're too poor to buy PLEX or too lazy to farm ISK to buy the vanity items off of the market. They think it's some kind of scam for some reason. They're probably the same types of people who think that PLEX is just an ISK printing scheme.

I gotta admit that removing Aurum would make me hate NeX less. I really do not see why it's there in the first place? You can go...

$$$ > Plex > ISK

So you can use RL cash to buy things from the NeX store. And if CCP want to "manage the exchange rate" then they can just change the ISK price of the store items. Just get rid of the Aurum.

That said I really don't want to see another round of CCP ramming NeX down our throats. I quit playing over the whole NeX thing last year and came back because it looked like the was a genuine turn-around.

I've paid to play this game with cash for a decent amount of time and I do not want to see the NeX store rail-roaded out again like I'm playing some kind of free-to-play junk. If CCP cant make make it with multiple $15 subs from a lot of players then something ain't right.

Why I don't like NeX store; I don't like things that are not made by players or obtained from seemingly logical sources (e.g officer modified item drops). I would be cool if you could buy BPC's from NeX and make pain jobs with 'stuff''.

Edit: Yeah and if we're talking that customised paint jobs cannot be sold on the open market then so long and thanks for all the fights o7

Don't care. I don't spend enough time zoomed in and admiring my own ship to bother spending anything on a silly skin. Put it in the NeX, let the space barbie crowd buy them, and drive up the value of any PLEX I steal.

"Custom" paint jobs should and can be NeX items without any problem. However believe that there should be 2 types of paint jobs...

1st type should be reusable corporation/alliance wide logos which cost sh1tloads of aur for the corporation/alliance as whole but are 1 time purchase and can be used freely after that.

2nd type should be non reusable cheap standard paint jobs which can not be reapplied after destruction.

Will the paint job be indestructable like the other NEX items?

Considering things vanity/non-vanity is a slippery slope. Content is content. Painting ships is adding content, let's make it mean something.
