Yeah, unfortunately, other than flavor text, I couldn't find any difference.

I WANT SO BAD

I've saved up all my aurum for this. it' better skins we can keep forever. Or maybe let us buy the paint job for a whole race?

WANT WANT WANT

edit: wait oh no, are they going to sell ships one at a time? for Aur? O.o I will cancel my account if that happens, that is ****** up. Ships could not be generated out of thin air. it's a paint job CCP, but they can't even get to work on clothes so, oh dear. This isn't looking good. :/

Also the market will be littered. They should include limited run blue prints, or unlimited run blue prints for paint jobs. You buy the quafe blue print, it gives you 100 runs. you can sell it, or use it to change to color of one of your ships.

I don't want 500 more ships added to the market, what are they thinking?

Impossible to say how and even if anything like this will go down. We have almost nothing to go on here... I think it's going to be a relatively benign issue though, and I would bet these paint jobs will be available in a number of ways... missions, LP stores, aurum (maybe), and perhaps even plain old standings... who knows?

It would be great for standings and lp. Then a lot of NPC corps would have more meaning than "what mods are in their LP, do they have clone services, how many combat lvl4 agents do they have" Some obscure NPC corps could have really stylish skins, but oops, they only have cargo lvl4s. Industrialists sell these nice painted ships they get from the LP store. Or miner corp lp etc.

fair enough but if you want vanity skins you have to pay RL monies for it and the only way to do that is aur... get used to it...

Depends on how they plan to distribute them.
Pick and choose for a winter gift.
LP + ship + isk
Aur + ship

LP + ship + isk I think is the only one worthy enough for slightly different stats.


lost some respect for you edit: just because u even mentioned aurum

E: I get what you're asking for, but I highly doubt CCP will ever allow players to design pure vanity skins (outside of contests, maybe) for the simple fact that it increases the number of art assets in the game. So yeah, keep stupid out of spaceships.


This.

Hate to break it to you but AUR is the future and will soon replace PLEX.

uhm ... what about the simplest of all possibilities ?

You dock at an interbus station ... you get an interbus catalyst ...
You dock at a boundless creations station ... you get a boundless creations catalyst ...
etc etc.

Would that be like GTA where you pull into some random garage and drive out a second later with a new paint job? If so, I'm all about it.

No. there is the possibility of a massive market nitch. And to give such things away from free is insanity.

All that paying with Aurum means is that you can either pay with ISK or with Cash for the item, with more granularity than the shotgun approach that purchasing PLEX involves.

Anything else is mindless hysteria.

I don't see the difference either. ISK = PLEX. Who cares how it's put into the game? It's just a paint job...

+50% Optimal Range bonus for the IZ Cati? For AUR?

And you seriously thought they'd abandoned trying to sneak in pay-to-win?

Such charmingly nai'ive optimism.

Star Wars: the Old Republic may not be EVE. But I'll take the sound of dual blaster-pistols over "NURVV CLAOKING NAOW!!!11oneone!!" any day of the week.

The stats of the manufacturer custom variants of the catalyst have identical stats to that of the vanilla catalyst. There's no difference outside of the description and presumably the colors.

You can pay for ISK right now. If you could buy a Navy Raven with cash it still wouldn't be "buying a win"... it would be buying a ship. With the way the market works (and let's be honest combat in eve in general) I don't really see how you even could buy a win. A nub in a shiny ship increases the value of their loot and that's about it...

Derp-derp, my bad, sorry.

(You can tell I fly destroyers a lot, eh?)

But the basic premise still stands, at least for me:

Anything to do with AUR....ummm...No.

Just no.

ISK and/or LP, or nothing.

And why not, ^^that?^^

All those entities have agents for whom you can mission, so why not make it an LP store gift? Heavy LP and ISK-cost, so ISK-sink, plus high standings -- [lolRP] I don't imagine they'd want to give these to just anyone, you'd have to prove yourself to them as a corporate "asset" first [/lolRP]
