Maybe people just refuse to pay more than 40mill (1/20th of a plex) on the frigate skin?

... I guess they just totaly ignored the Epeen fact that NONE of his Skins are shown anymore in Overview / Scan
end especially on Killmails...

so just no one intrested in buying Skins -nothing to "show-off" or to "stand out" like in the CCP Advertise

the only one seeing your Skin is... you

and down goes the market value P

T2 and Pirate. Pretty sure this is CCP attempting to deliver within the constraints of their current pricing plan. They're taking the holy grail ship for one of their most distinct demographics (marauders and lone, high sec lurkers), and applying the most handsome-looking SKINs to them.

Now I'm expecting the SKINs dev blog to say something about releasing previously planned SKINs and then going from there. Potentially that is a long time but, by looking this good, the trickle strategy might keep players happy in the meantime. In the interest of honest feedback, I will admit they have a good chance.

PVE like missions and exploration allow the player to remain zoomed-in on their ship, so Marauders and the SOE (exploration) ships are a good start. I suppose orbit / F1 gameplay is good for that too.

Paladin Blood Raider

Kronos Police

Vargur Thukker

and lastly, the Golem Kaalakiota

When I saw the listing in market and then the preview, I heard this in my head.

Nestor

Stratios

Astero

Album

I'm very curious to know the pricing for T2. It's impossible to let me down whether it's higher, lower, or the same as T1.

This means ccp crunched data after "bug weekend" and found the most popular skins and biggest request, mauraders, and now trying to capitalize heavily on it.

Ccp this is like the opposite of what you should be doing.

They should be giving away all of the Skins for the price of one right? How dare they try and make money by provide something that people have been asking for. (end of sarcasm)

Joking aside, it is mainly just the same few people keeping this thread alive, and asking for something which is completely unreasonable given that CCP has spent months working on and implementing this new system.

You are confused. For years and years players have been asking to put alliance/corp logos/colors on ships. Thats how this came about dude. Ccp then was like, oh you guys wanna customize your ships? Well here well just change the color pallet a few times and charge $20 for different shades of color.

That is not, repeat not, what the players have been asking for for years dude. Just fyi.

Also it may have taken months to implement this system, yet how long do you seriously think it took to get the Police skin to work on the Kronos?? The same time/effort to get it to work on the Comet and Vexor as was proved with the bug. What 20mins of Q&A to ensure the lines/lights/logos line up correct? Thats work how much $50? $60? $30?

Get real dude

Ccp this is like the opposite of what you should be doing. Yes we want t2 skins, yes we want police and blood raider and even maurader skins. But we want you to fix the prices and availability and restrictions first.

You better explain yoselfs tomorrow.

Like seriously, devblog promised last week, and they now silently sneaking new higher priced hull-restricted skins in again just to cash out?


Devblog asap

Marauder skins were added to TQ in DEC.. Just never seeded, and no devs ever commented on them or answered my dozens of comments in topic about them and when we expect to see them.

Do you feel that is better or worse than players and devs discussing this on Reddit

They don't have to follow supply and demand principle since they can't be cut out of the market. They are the exclusive supplier anyway. You buy are their price or you don't.

They already stated quite a long while ago that they weren't going to work on implementing alliance/corp logos into ship skins until they actually fixed the alliance logo submission process first. The solution to which you might recall was only announced very recently.

It's going to be OK.

Fedo. Fedo? Fedo!

Anyone feel like placing some bets on the price of the Maurader skins in aur and us $?

Id be willing to place like a Tristan Quafe skin or like a Talos or Myrm up as a bet if anyone wants to.

Im saying t2 skins atleast gotta be double price, prob a tad more cuz they are the Police Kronos and blood raider paladin and lots of bears use them so super rich/pve bearish (i.e. the perfect target audience for skins)



So ill opening betting with $57 US for the Kronos or Paly in Nes store price after buying necessary Aur.
Anyone wanna take bet? No over/under crap, just closest.

Just for adding insult to injury, it has to be plus 5 AUR.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

If you want to compare it, take into consideration all factors.
And here you pay for color, as tech and ship is already implemented, you pay subscription. There they must do modeling and design, and did you saw those ships? Shocked
Of course they are financing the game from those ships, CCP is using those money to finance game too, but the price for the skins are prohibitive when you take into consideration that you have to pay monthy sub also.
