EVE General Discussion

I had wondered the same. Best I can come up with is that they are experimenting on us.

Based on the believed desirability of the new skins. They know very well some of us want to Khanid all the things.

I do think they're way too expensive, if I want to skin one of my freighters it will cost me as much as the freighter itself, that said though, it is optional, so I don't see them being that big of an issue.

I like the pale blue, and the yellow. Too bad we don't have a good red, nice deep purple, white, penicillin green, and matte pink / metallic black combinations.

But mostly, too bad that we can't purchase a color combo and apply it to ALL the ships. That's what I imagined the skins would be. That's how other games have them. Current skin costs are only appropriate if ONE skin applies to ALL ships. Not gonna buy piecemeal per ship, screw that noise.

Expecting station interior skins. One per station type, of course.

Also, I'd like to have pajamas for wearing in my capt. quarters, as there's a bed. The NES store only has public-wear.

Also, put a damn fan in the capt. quarters, and let us adjust wind speed, so that we can put to use that Physically Simulated Cloth and Hair graphics setting, cause it's kinda useless with no wind to animate my hair.

still have some aurum left, not many i wnated. if they make a damn SoE skin for barges... *drooool*

It´s cosmetic so no one needs it to improve their game - changing skin during a battle is quite funny tho but wont have any impact I guess. :D

Besides being cosmetic there is so much ISK in EvE or to be more precise in the wallets of players that it´s no problem to simply buy the stuff with ISK. If you can´t generate enough ISK and want a skin buy it for real money or start making ISK.
While some skins look expensive at first glance it´s just a skin and nothing you need. So it´s more like "well, I have enough money/ISK and want to buy me more fancy stuff."

When I came back to EvE I thought with nearly 100bil in assets/liquid ISK and sth around 70plex I am kinda rich, now I know I am middle class at best. There are a lot people with a lot more ISK in EvE than I thought and it is really easy to make a lot of ISK without going crazy or capital escalate rats in w-space. I make ~200mil ISK a day just by shooting people in low-sec. I never intended to make ISK ingame because I thought I have to kill rats, missioning, industry, the list goes on but that´s not the case. Some exploring when I feel like and you make a lot of ISK without even realising you are doing it.

Last but not least, for some people 40bucks is nothing, for others it´s a lot but as long as you can make a ton of ISK in game and the NES stuff doesn´t give you any advantage like premium ammo or some **** like that there is no need to rage about the prices - imho. :)

I am hoping that they do a "Hello Kitty Online" ship skin so I can then put all my ships in that and then shoot gankers in it, are you listening CCP!!!!

I like the idea of ship skins, but overall they feel lackluster. If you look at other games where micro-transactions with skins take place, their skins are much closer to what is considered a micro-transaction and the skins vary from the main item model by a decent amount to warrant the purchase. Different animations, lighting, colors, effects - simply a brand new version all around.

These skins for EVE ships are really disappointing. As if someone picked out a few panels on the ship and dropped in a different color from the pallet and finished the process off by tossing a dart to see where on the price scale board it would land. I like the part where the skins are able to be on the market and the mechanics in how you change skins and such. Those are great.

Just my thoughts on the matter.
