Originally by: Alias 6322A Apparently folks need some Game Business 101...
#1 You release one-of-a-kind, never to be reproduced ship with a semblance of utility. The utility is to get people to fly it...and lose it...thus increasing the value of the ship and adding to the collection of "Ships that are Cool Because You Don't Have One."
#2 Said ship is so cool that you only make it available a short period of time.
#3 Players renew alternate (or all if on holiday break from EVE) to get rare, never to be reproduced ship. One month will be paid on various accounts that don't actually need to be renewed in order to get ship (or multiples of ship).
#4 CCP makes the most money from a single-month subscription fee for each account renewed simply for a new ship. Those who pay attention will notice you save more money for more months bought in advance.
#5 Players go "Oh goody, cool ship" every now and then, Potential Players go "Wow, they give cool stuff and free expansions! /subscribe", CCP gets extra cash-flow, and the wheel of game business keeps on turning. Rinse, Repeat as needed.
I like getting nifty ships...they sort of act as a history-book in my hangar for cool, and not so cool, moments in my EVE career. Seriously folks, you're getting an expansion (for free, unlike other games?) that is in three parts because it packs so many features (and fixes! Yay Rockets!) such as the brand new character creator (Can we say Incarna around the Corner?). Cease whining. If you want an actual 'usable' ship (like the Noctis, but combat wise) get into the F&I or AH forums and come up with something!!!
That doesn't explain however why the Echelon cannot have a usable slot layout. For its intended role as a exploration vessel it must have at least 3 mids (prop mod, analyzer, hacker) and at least 1 high (probe launcher/salvager). Also, a role bonus to scanner probe strength and/or hacker/analyzer strength would be appreciated. This way it would have some real value and many more people would resub for it, so CCP would get more money. I don't see the problem there, is it because it would inject too much ISK into the economy if the ship would be worth a lot?

I think its neat, I'm putting it in my hangar at Yulai with all the other rare ships I don't fly because they are too rare. Thanks CCP.

Did i read this right? 'The advanced cryptographic processors on board provide superior hacking capabilities for use on most known password-secured devices'.Can i go stealing from password secured containers floating in space...can i hack into that password protected pos and empty the hanger into the empty parked supercap and run away?

As suggested on russian forum, in ten years we can combine all those ships in one huge Voltron. The secret plan is now uncovered

Like others have said, if you don't want it, don't use it. Don't even redeem it. No one cares. Whining about it just makes you look like idiots.
It's a cool model, and an interesting function. Here's hoping they make one for archaeology too.

Originally by: Lise Kahel I reject all of your arguments and simply state; ship designers can't fix bugs. Irrefutable fact, period.
Well, they could fix ship-designs, no?
There are some models out there which are in dare need of some fixes.. I don't know if CCP will ever implement their small-fixes program, which should come out of all this SCRUM, but the last thing in this regard from the art-team was the Scorpion. By now we should be running around with new Dominix, Armageddon and Typhoon if SCRUM was working.

After reading this thread I think you got exactly what you asked for but not in the way you thought.

Zeph=immune to sleepers
Echelon=immune to Sansha?
Would kinda make sense-theres at least some Sansha sites coming that will need hacking to complete, so before the spider tanked uber player fleet jumps in, "send in the Echelons!".
Just a thought, though thanks for free stuff regardless.

After skimming through this thread, I have come to the conclusion that the EVE playerbase consists of far more really annoying crybabies than I thought
