Again, I think this system sounds awesome. Quick question though.... When we go down to just having 1 "noob ship" style default outfit after being podded, will there be the other character customization screen outfit choices available for "cheap?" In general will you have cheap and expensive clothes? I vote for this.

---

Short answer is yes. This first pass is simply a tracer bullet to gauge response. The future vision is that after being podded you will wake up in a clone bay in a medical gown. Then you will get your free orange noobie overalls (or whatever we come up with) but there will be all sorts of inexpensive stuff on offer to change into or maybe you weren't wearing your favorite stuff anyway and you can just put that one.

---

You mean that when we get poded we get a super advanced Jove tech POD we get for free, and the (admittedly crap) warship we get for free, but we don't get to have any decent clothing unless we pay rl money for it???

I for one will be a five year plus old multi billionaire cyber-virgin player walking around in the bright orange noob jump suit happily flying around my generic ever so unimpressive looking ship. The day that the orange jump suit, or the generic paint job effects game play, I leave the game, and on that day, sure you can have my stuff, because it'll all be pointless.

Having another currency for Incarna (Aurum (AUR)) helps a lot in terms of managing the overall money supply in EVE and simply gives us more tools to react to any imbalance situation that might come up over the years. More currencies are also simply just more fun and the fact that vanity items can be sold on the secondary market by players themselves opens up a lot of trading opportunities. Fun times ahead.

Of course, knowing Eve players, I actually think this entire microtransaction system for vanity items will be pretty much ignored if this is it's current state. EvE players don't seem to want it and quite frankly, were extremely proud of and happy that the game didn't have a MT system.

It sounds like "Goodbye Science Fiction, Hello NCSoft!"

What's next?! Coins of Luck, neko-mimi, pink Harbingers?! Do you really wish to turn the LAST normal MMO in a ****ing buffoonery?
Maybe it's time to renovate a park of ships? To do mining more balanced? There are much more really necessary things to change in Eve. Don't hear your expert in marketing, hear us, because no one knows this universe better.

Let me use an example. CCP released a new ship BPO not that long ago: the Noctis. You needed in game money to participate. You could get that in game money from either buying a PLEX or earning money in game. It would be unfair to describe this as releasing new content behind a pay wall.

If CCP releases pair of leather boots, and you need in game money to participate, you could get that in game money from either buying a PLEX or earning money in game. I believe it is likewise unfair to describe this as releasing new content behind a pay wall.
