This image has recently been making the rounds in game, and seems to be something from multiplicity.
There's lots of very interesting things about that picture, most of them pretty cool, however one thing casts a dark shadow over it: in the lower left, "Plex Credit".
You've all said you're ok with PLEX being used for vanity items, but did you think it would go this far?
And certainly, ib4tl. And i'll probably be taking a little forced break from posting.

oh... too late...
I still don't like the idea of any kind of "PLEX Credit" either, but I also dislike reading into stuff before it's been released/announced. Who knows how it's going to change or what's going to happen.
Now, by all means, let the threadnaught continue (at least until CCP Adida finds it )

Sure. Why would they want to limit themselves to people who extensively use Incarna by charging for fancy felt hats, when a similar system could be used cash in on those who just truck around in their ships all day longà?
At least now the pirates will know for certain which ships to ransom for multi-griillions of ISK and which ones they can only expect a bazillion or two from.  ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

1/9th of a plex to repaint your ship? That is so not worth it, except maybe for people who plan on never having their ship blow up.

I think it's the sheer variety of options which surprised me. The idea PLEX would be required for every little thing is a bit saddening, although i do see the logic in it, from a business standpoint.

You have noticed the part about: Customization - lights (interior, exterior) - engine trail - base paint (primary, secondary)- damage - rust, ecc. ?
It is exactly what it was proposed by the CSM: plex for vanity items.
You customize how your ship look and you pay in plex.

It was directly mentioned by some dev at some point, custom paintjobs as vanity items, so yes, I did think it could go this far, but I hoped not. It is certainly sad that it would, though. That is dev time invested in something that will be paid in addition to what we pay now but stolen from dev time paid with regular subs. Also I hate being charged on top of a subscription fee that is certainly not among the cheapest ones in the industry, is EVE in such bad shape that this is needed for it's survival? Is EVE failing as a business? If not, there is certainly not a single valid reason for this to happen (outside of greed). We are already paying a substancial fee, is it needed for us to pay more?

Which was fine when i expected it to be a simple ship reskin or something easy to resist. With all those delicious options expect PLEX prices to skyrocket.

Well regardless of whether this ship customizing gets in... I think this can be taken as good evidence that trails are coming back! Which is a good thing. and further more why do i even need a sig? |

Looking back, I may be wrong. The interface looked too different from CCP's other interfaces. But Someone else said it looked like the new character creator on singularity. In which case I retract my statement.

Edit: it still looks too armature for me. The GUI looks like someone threw it together as opposed to something a team of people spent a lot of time working on.
So, you agree this looks like an official CCP product?

^^ This. The similarity/reuse to what we already have is the only thing that lends it any credence. On the other hand, they've not shown themselves all that willing to reuse UI in that way, so it also kind of makes it less credible at the same timeà  ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

I'd normal say pics or it didn't happen.
Photoshop ruined that for me  
The UI up on the right looks like that of the old Character creator before it was polished up (the wheel of colour specifically lookin' like the wheel of hair colours. The "Ship Customisation" bit on the left, the bit under that, is from the new Character creator also as you go through the stages it moves to the next circle thingy.
Nice shop though and a worthy troll for once

Look at the facts, Jack.. T'amber had a meltdown over PLEX microtransactions that are not going to come to fruition. Therefore he made this fake thing to try to attract more attention in some kind of attention grabby "look at me" thing.
It's cute, but amateur.

They'll probab;y give everyone free plex credit once then make it so that it's on your ship when you package it automatically so you pay once. If they don't do it in that way Im not using it and won't feel bad considering I have gold ships for free

Alternately, these are real screenshots of works in progress, and he had a meltdown over stuff that he thought should be free that was only going to be available as part of microtransaction deals.
Cool stuff that rich kids will want -> more money to CCP.
CCP complains that not enough people use these features that they've spent all this time creating -> vanity items become cheaper or free.
Just be patient.

One wonders how many "plex credits" CCP was (is?) planning to give for one PLEX. A thousand? A million? A million would not be too bad. Assuming they could be sold on the market, each would cost 360 isk, and 1800 plex credits would be 648,000 isk. Making my ship look cool for less than a million isk? Maybe.....

I find it both hilarious and saddening that someone posted in this thread the original post T'amber made with these pictures and a clear statement that they were fabricated and people are still taking them seriously.
