Abrazzar	Posted - 2010.06.29 15:53:00 - [4] A PI-Hold of 3k-6k would have been worthwhile, 1k is barely holding one day worth of production in highsec. And usually you only haul every few days for time efficiency's sake. -------- All I want is a better mankind.

CCP Greyscale	Posted - 2010.06.29 15:57:00 - [5] It is however the most cost-effective PI ship available. (Seriously though, like with the Zephyr, this is a free gift that looks really cool, and also has a few stats and bonuses just to make it more unique. It's deliberately not supposed to be better for common tasks than other ships, due to the fact that it's free and everyone is given one. Just like the Zephyr is intentionally not better than a Covert Ops ship for scanning, the Primae is intentionally not a better hauler than a dedicated industrial ship that you have to train for and buy. That's not - before anyone jumps in - to say it's useless, because utility is a linear measure not a binary one. You can still use it for moving your PI commodities and command centers. It's perfectly useful in and of itself for certain tasks - it's just not a replacement for a good industrial.)

Or something along those lines. I love the design of the ship -- obviously a lot of time was put into its detail. But it's never really going to find a use with its current abilities. It would have been nice to see its cargo capacity tied to the pilot's planetology skill or something. Either way, I appreciate the gift. I just wish I could use it more is all.

stoicfaux	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:05:00 - [8] Will we be able to produce or otherwise buy the ship from the market in the future? Is this ship going to be a tutorial award?

Jowen Datloran Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:09:00 - [10] Meh, I think I'll stick to my trusty blockade runner. Thanks anyhow. Perhaps the Primae is just a training industrial for rookies. Of course, they would be most annoyed when losing it too. ---------------- Mr. Science & Trade Institute - EVE Online Lorebook

Inquisitor Berthez Alien Pancake Bonanza	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:09:00 - [12] Can't there at least be some things better about this ships, so it actually has use? i.e. Let it warp faster, let it have a low sig radius, or cloak even.. .

That's several thousand less than a Wreathe can do and the Wreathe is pretty much a beginner industrial noobship. So really it's not the most cost effective PI ship. The most cost effective and overall effective PI ship you will get in Eve will be your first free industrial from the tutorial missions.

Cyprus Black Caldari 4 wing Dara Cothrom	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:17:00 - [17] I like the idea behind the Primae but I believe it's a bit lackluster. Sure it's free and I appreciate free, but I can't find any practical use for this ship. It can't do anything that a simple low end industrial cannot already do. No offense CCP guys, but I would've rather it be an addition to the whole PI instead of a novelty "gank-me" "never-undock" "useless-thing-to-contract-away-for-isk" ship. It would've been nice to see BPOs on the market for this thing. A one time giveaway just means this ship will never be used for its intended purpose because it's too rare to risk getting blown up. Plus a larger cargohold for PI materials is badly needed. I have to make ten trips per planet with this Primae just to recover a full exported rocket whereas my simple T1 industrial fitted with T1 cargo expanders only has to make one trip (and yes I really do export that much on a regular basis). One is easily replaceable, the other is not. This isn't so much of a complaint as it is a poor attempt at constructive criticism. ___________________________________ "In the land of predators, the lion does not fear the jackal." -Dexter
Thrasymachus TheSophist	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:20:00 - [18] Edited by: Thrasymachus TheSophist on 29/06/2010 16:21:11 Originally by: Cyprus Black No offense CCP guys, but I would've rather it be an addition to the whole PI instead of a novelty "gank-me" "never-undock" "useless-thing-to-contract-away-for-isk" ship. Wait a year and then test the bolded hypothesis. I'd be willing to wager you'll be pleasantly surprised. Think of it less as a ship, and more as an investment. In MMOs, scarcity = value, and as time goes by, these will only become more scarce. Edit to your edit: Don't do BPOs for it ... then its just totally worthless!
Simeon Tor	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:20:00 - [19] The ship was never supposed to replace anything a player with any experiance would have. I doubt most people use the Apotheosis, Zephyr and Interbus shuttle either.

Ticondrius Orbital Infinity Saints Amongst Sinners	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:25:00 - [21] Going on the in-game attributes... Give us a normal ORE ship (BPOs seeded, no hulls for sale until players build them, etc., etc....) that does: 10Km3 planetary goods hold 8Km3 command center hold 200-300m3 normal hold (doesn't matter too much) Slots: 1 high, 2 medium and 6 lows Role bonus on speed while cloaked (as it doesn't use the covert ops cloaking device) Planetary Command Ships (skillbook) 5% bonus to agility on ships requiring this skill -Require Barge V (Hell, everything else does) I'm sure there's some other good ideas for it, but that's all I've got at the moment. Most of that is gravy or wishful thinking but.... ..really..what use is a PI ship that can't carry 10Km3 of PI materials? I never go pickup anything until my Spaceport is full at 10Km3....I can't even imagine lower skilled players doing it differently, as the central hub Spaceport model is extremely efficient.

The most cost effective and overall effective PI ship you will get in Eve will be your first free industrial from the tutorial missions. There's a thread on the Market Discussions forum talking about time cost that would disprove your idea - ie just cause you didn't spend ISK on the "free" tutorial industrial, doesn't mean it's free. On the other hand, the Primae is completely free, so it is the most cost-effective PI ship. And to the guy who complains that the ship is useless, but wants the BPO's seeded...uhhhh what? Why? ---------------------------------------------- I don't have an alt, but there's a main that would be upset if he heard me say that...

Jada Maroo	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:42:00 - [27] It's not complaining - it's complimenting. It's saying "Hey, this is a really awesome ship model. We appreciate getting a freebie but we want one we can buy that's actually useful so this awesome looking ship doesn't go to waste."

el caido School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2010.06.29 16:43:00 - [29] I am all for free shinies - cheers, CCP. However, a new ship model dedicated to a gift ship seems to be a gross misappropriation of art team resources when there are a plethora of outstanding graphical defects, oversights, and requests. Hopefully this beauty can be used elsewhere ... perhaps a future shipclass, hmm?
