It would be nice if the ishukone watch scorpion skin ccp gave out was converted to a multi hull skin. It's stunning and Given it's nature as a gift to show off it would be cool if it was made a little more usable. Would love to be able to run this skin on my rattle and widow. Seems such a shame for such a cool skin to be limited to a t1 battleship not seeing much use. |

except it's not been sold by ccp. only given away. I just think its a pretty cool skin and would make sense if it worked on all scorp models |

I thought it was identical in stats to a Scorp, in fact that the SKIN was the only difference. What was different?
Though I kind of agree to a certain extent that such a move was a little questionable. At some point due to both there being the SKIN system and ship hulls that are unique in a purely aesthetic manner, CCP had to figure out where they were going to draw the line in the sand between acceptable content and content that was off limits. Not too surprising that a lot of people disagreed with their initial choice. Last I heard from them, I think they stated that they had no intentions of de-valueing unique ship hulls by releasing SKINs for non-uniques that were identical to unique hulls, though they made no promise that some would not have at least similar appearances.
That's not a proper quote anyways, so if I got any of that wrong, I'd invite anyone from CCP to hop in and correct me as I don't mean to put words in their mouths they didn't say.

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."
"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

It wasn't a money grab.
More known and successful eve fan site owners were given a special invitation. Go to a designated system and station, suit up in your new special ship at a range under on grid warp and fly to station and dock up. Fit it however you like. Just fly to the station is all. Catch.....it was a declared event. Gankers very much welcome to make that station run as fun as they could..
As a skin available...if memory serves on a skin redo CCP just went on down the line and took skins off boats and made them a separate item. I recall having a basic cheap skinned ship on a patching be its base ship and the skin separate as an item. Guessing this where the Ishukone skins (edit as items) came from.
If I also recall correctly this change was funky as hell as it dropped both in the station if corped up you founded the corp in. Seem to recall have to flying to my one mans founding station to get my crap. hadn't seen that system in ages to be honest. Yet there I was...oh well. |

Then the Scorpian got updated in tiericide and they forgot to redo the IWS. Which was one of the huge issues with the BPC method of 'skins'. Then the big number of them got given out. And a lot of people didn't know about the earlier hand outs so assumed that it was intended to be different.
So that will be why it got made a skin. |
