So long as I can also buy cosmetic mods for my ship with ISK at a reasonable price, I don't give a rodent's gluteus maximus about it being driven by PLEX too.
In fact, I'm happy so long as I can customize my ship's looks with my in-game money.

Ah. Um. (thumps head on desk) - Thanks.
I think few are taking this picture seriously - most including myself just continuing to debate the idea.

It would be fun if it wouldn't cost a fortune. If it costs more than a couple of millions, then no one would use, as it would be needless spending on something that doesn't increase performance.

T'amber didn't leave eve. He got hired by CCP and leaving eve is his cover story. He is now in the art department and working on custom ship paints.
I'm 100% sure this is the case -------------

exif data says adobe photoshop 5 on windows, which it clearly would not need to be because of win 7¦s snipping tool. Refering to the desktop screenshot on scraphead.
so i guess this looks shoped...

So if this hypothetical were to become reality, we would have enough ship customisation to make a fleet of military machines looks like a frickin' Christmas tree, and it would only be available to those who use or support RMT?

Please someone e-mail my deleted main when they allow us to plant crops inside stations and we can buy (for plex) snowballs year round. I'll be back for sure then.

Edited by: Asuka Smith on 08/12/2010 05:20:40 This was debunked by a dev in the other thread in OOPE, this thread is just a blatant troll. You KNOW that picture is fake as I saw you posting in the other thread, but you decided to crosspost a troll instead...
Also, the plex credit thing, what did you expect when CCP said they would let people spend plex on vanity items. The whole image is a fake but something like that plex credit system is going to make it into the game 100%, I mean the devs said they wanted to go in that direction... As long as it's only vanity items I really don't care though.

I know that the picture 'Not T'Amber' made is a photoshop because it was ridiculous, and i said it was outstanding because it was.
I'm still not entirely convinced the image in question here is fake, because it makes sense in a lot of ways, and all attempts to say it is could just be a cover story.
Don't think it's one of the holiday 'gifts', though, instead maybe a work in progress.

Edited by: ILikeMarkets on 08/12/2010 06:24:59 I don't care how it would come about or why, or what is used to purchase...
All I know is that I would LOVE to have ship customization. Dude I can't tell you what I wouldn't give to get to change the colors, add a logo, write the name of the ship down the side.
I know if I owned a ship I'd be painting the crap out of it. We're talking Hippy Volkswagen bus in space... except, ya know, a Maelstrom.
EDIT: The fact that this thread is still around, however, makes me think it is off the mark. :(

best part about all this....
2010.12.07.20.45.00 is when the OP posted this....and according to the URL the screenshot was taken on 2010.12.08.22.44.23 or about a day and 2 hours in the future
T'Amber really should put 2011 or 2012 on the date tag XD
edit: admittedly i fell for this too as thats EXACTLY what the new character creator UI looks like....damn you T'Amber Q_Q

Edited by: Kara Sharalien on 08/12/2010 11:13:10 There is still some debate over whether that picture is real, but I will answer the question as if it is:
There are two factors to this:
1. How much plex credit do I get per plex. Assuming some arbitrary standard for how much PC an item costs, I need to get a large enough amount of plex credit for it to be worth while. If I pay $40AU (or however much it is) for a plex, and get only 1-3 things in exchange, thats a pretty expensive cash shop model, and thus not a good thing.
In addition, its important for me to be able to spend to zero. If I get, say, 2000 plex credit per plex, and everything costs 750 plex credit, then I will be left with 500 plex credit at the end and nothing to spend it on, requiring me to buy another plex to get that last 1/4 of my moneys worth, not a satisfactory situation.
edit: I have this problem with itunes. My itunes account has 95c on it, and nothing on itunes ever costs less then 99c in Australia. I have been so infuriated by discovering this on my first go that I have never purchased anything from the itunes store since. It is a petty tactic to acquire more sales.
2. It depends how CCP implements fashion items.
With regards to ship decorations in particular, there are two ways it could be done. Pay to spray the ship, or pay for the decals. If I have to pay twice to put the same decal on two ships, it had better be a cheap decal. Like, almost free. Ships are lost often in eve, and noone will spend a lot of IRL money to decorate a ship they expect to lose. Only flying what you afford to lose extends to your real life wallet as well now. Adopting this method will not get my support, no matter how cheap it costs, I think it is an inappropriate model for eve.
On the other hand, you could pay a relatively large amount to buy a specific decoration, permanently. An isk cost to spray it to any and all subsequent ships could potentially be added as an isk sink. But if losing me the ship does not lose me the decoration, then not only might I be inclined to spend more per decoration, I might buy more of them as well. This would be my preferred method of implementation.
It all comes down to the fine details, but I do not object to CCP implementing a plex based decoration system. Indeed, I kind of look forward to it. Perhaps its my ego talking, but being able to cruse around in custom painted ships, displaying my in reality non existent opulence, speaks to something very deep within me. But not if I'm going to hemorrhage money to maintain it.

Originally by: Professor Tarantula 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.
i agree.
As long as new players can accellerate their progression in game more than swapping a few attribute pionts then i think its okay. im totally 110% against buying sp driectly without going the route of buying a whole char from the char bazzare (with a name and skill set already earned).
Plex direct for painting ships, having certain accessories (plex for pirate shoulder parrots) etc doesnt bother me in the slightest.
