I had a friend die of testicular cancer, it was only the 2nd recorded case of that particular type of cancer in all of written human history.

Sounds pretty hardcore, right?
Wrong.

Thousands of people die each month of the "first" or "second" recorded case of "something" every month.


Just like unique ships really. The more there are, the less anybody will inevitably give a **** about them.

Missed a unique ship?
Well just sit still, another will be along shortly.

If CCP gave unique ships away in boxes of cereal there would be less of them.

The Quafe one is the Fanfest 2011 special reward ship.


Actually, there's 2 Quafe versions.

Right. The Ultra Edition for Fanfest attendees and people who ordered the HD stream, and the Ultramarine Edition for Japanese players that subscribed through their JP distributor (the former is available on the market, the latter on contracts.)

I'm looking into this Iteron Mark IV Amastris Edition... it too has Quafe markings... no idea how you acquire one yet.

Nice! You learn a new thing every day :) And now it's visible in the "Variants" tab along with the Amastris edition.

Confirmed, and in fact now it is available on the Market. Right now there's one for sale for 6 Billion ISK at Jita, and then the Contracts.

I believe I had some family in Japan sign up for EVE. Will have to see if they got this new rare Iteron Mark IV Quafe Ultramarine Edition. Looks cool no doubt.

Bring on more RARE ships!

As of subject, the Apotheosis seems to be getting to where having no blueprints are running out. Price jumps
there.

Fun Stuff!

I've speculated in unique ships... be careful with it because it's not really like any other expensive item. It's price is not guaranteed to go up. I've had mixed results personally... The Apotheosis, Zephyr, and Echelon have been re-issued on a few occasions, meaning even more came into the game. The Zephyr has function and for wormholers, and I've made a few isk on those. The Echelon is conversely without much function, and I managed to break even on them. The Apotheosis I broke even on as well... sort of and only technically. See the way the Apotheosis was originally issued, it wasn't 1 per account but one per CHARACTER... which means even on the initial release there were a TON of them. Not so for the Echelon and Zephyr which were only one per account. I took a chance on the Apotheosis on the initial release... and it rose in price about 75% over the course of a couple of years, and then plunged again on the re-issue. I decided to get out and like I said... broke even. BUT: the isk I had tied up in Apotheosis wasn't adjusted for inflation, and that ISK could have been invested in some other commodity (imagine if I had bought Oxygen Isotopes)... so really the loss in real terms is pretty significant. Collectors aren't generally buying in volume... so it's speculators that don't understand consumption that prop up the prices. Now that I realize this I'm out of speculating on those types of ships pretty much. I think the Zephyr might have some growth potential but I don't feel like taking the chance again. Rare items that give combat or other advantages seem to be better investments for the quick flip. The biggest question you can ask yourself when trying this as an investment is "will this be re-issued, will a like ship be released instead, or is this the last of them?" More and more I'm coming to the conclusion that any unique capability will be replicated or eclipsed by another ship at some point in the future, and that limits the market to collectors and deranged speculators, which isn't that big of a market. I'm fortunate I found a speculator in Jita to by some of the ones I was offloading bulk. I had to sell about 800 Echelons and looking at the volume was getting bummed, but somebody took them in a few bulk purchases... classic market manipulator. I don't know if it will be worth the effort. It wouldn't have been for me. If he can unload them for a profit we both won on that one. :) Anyway, that's my take... just some friendly advice/thoughts on the topic. Take it as you like...

Then why is the description in English? Isn't the Chinese server, in chines...er....Mandarin? Unless I'm mistaken.


Actually AFAIK there is no Chinese server, it closed in February of this year. So now (minus the test server) EVE really is a single shard universe, for reals.

Has anyone figured out where this ship comes from yet? (Specifically how you acquire it)

edit: nevermind. It's on the regular market... just a matter of time I guess.

Also: 17 bucks for the ship... probably get more isk for it than a PLEX. Just sayin'

Mr Epeen Cool

What do you mean can't be gifted? You mean there is no way to trade for it?


I meant the the actual product. Not the ship.

So what can't happen, is you buy it from Amazon and then send it to me as a gift so that I, a non U.S. citizen, can use the gamecode with the bonus ship. Although now that I think about it I can probably fake a U.S. address since it is a digital download and doesn't actually need to be physically delivered.

You can certainly trade the ship in game, I imagine.

Doesn't look nearly as good as the Ultramarine Edition if you ask me. I think I would rather enjoy spinning one of those Ultramarine Editions.
