EVE General Discussion

I thought everything the OP is complaining about was explained in the:

Devblog

There is always the option of product placement.

PEPSI logos on the ships?

Finally a new reason for ganking ships.

That a painted ship has to be an entirely new entity in the database is not necessarily a bad thing. It opens up doors for further customization.

Though in that light I would fail to see what an "Aliastra Edition" battleship would have that makes it special. What, is it specially designed to go shopping with or something?


I think a lot of people are just mad because there's no "Punisher Edition" black Brutix with a big Punisher skull on the front.

But give it time. Give it time.

There's simply a rock and a hard place here. Poking at player interest to gauge how much resource to put into this is perfectly legitimate.

Imagine what would happen if they want balls deep with this, come up with all kinds of schemes, the works - the min/maxer/ISK-addict/Killmail-addict OCD crowd would be screaming bloody murder all over the forums because THEIR playstyle and related content is was not the center of the universe (or the expansion).


It would have been better if they could have started out with solid colors. Just let players have a black Cyclone or White Typhoon. But until this issue with the legacy requirement is solved (and that would probably take time and $$) we should take what we can get.

If you want paint schemes, go buy one. If you look at this flatly and think "uhhhhhh this is not going to put ISK in my wallet/add green to my killboard" then just ignore the whole subject and pretend everybody cares about your stats as much as you do (don't worry if you flagellate about it enough we'll entertain you).

the question is: is this a "test" of the technology or a "test" of how players take to the skins?

I'll pass.

Offer me something worth buying first before making promises that there are better things to come. Seems CCP is still believing that garbage about "paying more attention to what players do rather than what players say."

Why complain about useless sht? Ignore it.

Skins, really?

You actually buy that crap?

Those Who Forget the Past Are Doomed to Repeat It

Awww, did you buy that patch on your eye? lololzzz

Came with the collectors edition, I wanted the book and the music CD. Extras were cool though.

Still, you miss the point in that you play with pixel space ships. There is nothing you could possibly point at that could make me think your stance less ironic.

What do you have against Moretsu Space Pirates?
