Some of you are bats*** crazy. You can't compare a skinjob scorp and a T2 BPO before invention. The latter fundamentally changed the balance of power. The former is a princess dress.

Get over it.



No - you really can't - a T2 BPO having been given out to a single entity is unheard of, meaning there is a limitless supply of the product from various entities which provides competition.

Giving out unique ships (which are speculation objects) to rmt-laundring parasites like Somer is not even the same league as T20.

It's just so much worse...


welll there is your logic problem you assume its a speculation object... well from ccp action its not... so stop thinking it is.

well if they are equal or even less in efficiency of normal scorpions and refine to 1 trit then there's not really any big deal.. the price of 12 bill is not CCP fault but rather the idiots who are buying it at that price... if the community had stand together ingame they would have put up 1 isk buy order just to **** them up but they deemed a reskin worth of 12 bill for a not that much limited ships P


The problem is that CCP already knew that these ships were super valuable. At the core of this issue is still the fact that, regardless of their corporate aspirations, the people at SOMER are still players. The supposedly impartial devs/GMs/nerds went into this transaction knowing the value of these ships, knowing the somewhat dubious history of SOMER Blink, and having already entered into a semi-partnership with them over GTCs. At its core, EVE is about the acquisition of ISK, through every player's preferred means. Players will say that it's about PvP, piracy, exploration, or countless other reasons, but all those are a means to an end. By directly aiding other players by giving them extremely valuable in-game property, they altered game mechanics. Whereas other players would have to work just to get enough money to buy that ship, then hope that it increases in value, the players at SOMER essentially received free ISK from officials who have a limitless supply. It's that simple. The programmers helped the players, and that's just wrong. I don't know why it's so hard for people to see. It would be like the commissioner of your favorite sport stepping in and giving certain teams free points every week; it leaves everyone else at a disadvantage. It's making me question why I came back, which is a shame because I really love this game.

Gimme a unique T2 Khanid battleship called the Castigator and I'd be willing to forget all this happened.

So if CCP spawned every Goon a (special faction) titan that was 95% as efficient as a regular Titan but didn't refine into anything / the wreck can't be salvaged, then there's no issue there, right?

Not sure if you're a dumb person trolling, or a very dumb person talking from the heart.

You can compare them just fine if they are worth similar amounts of space money.


Space money comes and goes. Obvious in game advantages for having free tools to make ISK (T2 blueprints) stay for good. An argument that in game item that gives the direct in game advantages is the same as a vanity pantjob Scorpion (which isn't much of a ship anyway) is trolling at best and you know it.


You might have a point if items were account bound in EVE. But items can be exchanged for something known as "ISK" which can then be used to buy other items, a 20b supposedly rare spaceship equivalent to a 20b BPO.

Even if the final value of the Scorpions is 10k ISK it doesn't matter, since they can be sold NOW.


The owner of the ship will not have any advantage over other players in the game by using the given item and can not create value based on real profitability of the usage of Ishukone Scorpion. At least the painted Scorpion will not give an advantage over any other user of any other Scorpion in the game.

On the other hand, T2 blueprints have a real value when used. You can calculate the pure profit of using the t2 blueprints by calculating the difference between having to use datacores and invention to just using t2 original and saving time and investment ISK (datacores, POS fuel for creating t1 copies and invention).

This is the difference between a vanity item with purely speculative price and an in-game advantage item.

Pretty sure 20billion ISK being handed to you is 'an advantage'

Try again?

30 represented their whole 'corp' much like 10k represents us.

Fair is fair.

But since you're now agreeing that we should be given 10,000 titans rather than back down from your stupid position, we can safely assume nothing you say is of any value.

Wait, I thought they weren't worth anything because they only refined to 1 trit? Why would anyone pay 20b for one?

i don't get it there a fancy ship that's worse than its T1 variant, and refines for ****.......From my point of view its the silly and secret way they decided to go about it that is the problem and makes no sense

If they had just turned around and yelled it out that these great fan are being rewarded that would encourage people to make even better ones.
