personal preference would be for the AUR shop to sell BPC's ONLY, not pre-made ships
Even selling BPCs for Aurum would go against CCP's promise of only having MTs for vanity items.
The best choice is probably "Aur + BPC = Vanity BPC". This way the BPC maker still gets his chance, the miner still gets his chance, and so forth. The Vanity ships them selves will still land on the market. The crappy part for the Aurum user is he has to use contracts to move the BPC. Since they want Aur items to move on the market and make them worth the effort, so they can sell more Aurum stuff, is why we likely see the system the way it is, with the "thing" easily dropped on the market being the end product of the Ignoble Exchange.
CCP should have done what Akita mentioned and had a paint job slot, or come up with a BPX, that can never have more than one run and can be stacked. Then they wouldn't have to forget how copy labs worked, but then of course they'd have to figure out how manufacturing jobs work and read that BPC copy number they're so confused about.

Another SWG vet here to add my 2 cents.
Watch out CCP. your on a slipery slope! I came here after the NGE hit and I see this game sliping down the dark path! Your already wheeling and dealing with Sony with Dust. Whats next? No-trade trading card game? Turrents and launchers replaced with specials? Ships given away as mission rewards? No more penalty to dieing? Will our ships re-spawn in the station when we get killed? How about insta-travel vehicles? Magicly transport your ship to any station in the EVE verse at any time? ohoh, cant forget fery wings and angel halos!!
Maybee Im being paranoid, but I remember seeing threads just like this one pre-NGE. I just dont wanna see another game I love go down the tubes!

Not going to read 14 pages but here's what I remember:
Scorpions with fancy paint jobs are firmly in the "ok sure it doesn't impact gameplay aside from being some shiny thing that somebody might want to buy to customize their gameplay experience" category.
You need to provide that hull first though so you're not sidestepping the producer market. I don't have an issue with MT that are purely cosmetic and as long as it does that then who cares. It has to do that though.

Great... could you guys weigh in on the deployment of CQ please. At least go so far as to try to get CCP to actually answer the questions we are asking rather than answer the questions they want us to be asking. Incarna is coming out a hell of a lot sooner than the issues raised in this thread.

If you, as CSM, agreed to and/or bought the direct AUR<>ship exchange thing as it's presented now without protest, then you as you a group are the most fail CSM ever.

The problem was that providing the hull first wasn't going to be necessary for 3-4 months, thereby sidestepping the producer market.

Yup, you get flown out to iceland, put up in a nice hotel and given a bunch of freebies. Then the nice man at CCP asks you to just agree to these little changes that won't affect you with your billions of isk. How could you refuse?
CSM deligates are wothless. They are interested in themselves and nothing else.

The CSM didn't like the idea of selling a whole ship, but they could live with a one week test.
Vile rat can you tell us which CSM member was for a one week test of messing up our sandbox?
CSM members are posting that they are against any form in ship for Aurum, yet CCP Zinfandel just wrote that you guys were ok with this.
Someone is not telling the whole truth?

I do not agree with anything that sidesteps the producer market. You need to have to have a produced scorpion first for this to be something I'd support. In general though I don't have any issue with MT that are purely for cosmetics.

Yes, I understood your position, I just wanted to summarize the 14 pages to the single, defining problem (I didn't bother reading the first 6 pages neither  ).

Have you been paying attention at all? Right now the plan is to be able to buy said Scorp for AUR, without having to trade in anything else, let alone another Scorp. They'll "change" that soonÖ, since when do people who have played for more than 6 months really expect CCP to deliver on soonÖ? And why didn't the CSM protest and ask for the new ship to implement as soonÖ happens, afterall, it's just 3-4 months right?
Apart from that, is the AUR amount going to chance the moment people have to also hand in a normal scorp or is that kinda not thought of, as the plan always ways for a direct AUR<>item exchange?

What happens to the bought item if it's destroyed???? I haven't played any MT type games, but aren't most of those bought items permanent?
So if I lose my scorp in a fight I should have another waiting for me in my hangar correct???
I did pay money for the item and should not have to buy another.
And if I dont get another why bother to buy one in the first place because we all know in EvE loss is real and can be painful.

You're a CSM delegate. Make some effort, seriously. At minimum get together with other delegates who have made the effort and map out trends in the thread and notable posts thusfar.

It can't do trade-in's.
It can't do BPCs.
It can't sell anything that requires a user interface to use.
It can't highlight an item on sale (they will look like the non sale items.)
It can't sort/filter and only show you one kind of item.
Then it isn't ready to be released, and should be delayed until such time as it is.
That is, if the trust and respect of your long term subscribers means a damn to you.
If not, then by all means, carry on. Maybe you'll have more luck fooling the WoD subscribers into thinking you give a damn.

No, I think you might have missed a post. The plan is to put the ship into the EVE client for Incarna 1.0 but not put any in the game yet. In August, we will evaluate how things are going, how long until the store can support either BCPs or trade-ins, and then work with the CSM to pick a launch schedule for the ship.
We are holding it back to go slower.

Lady Silas Cooper. You can give it a rest. Vile rat is a csm. He is bought and paid for. He is simply saying words to make people forget the true horror of this proposal. He isn't for this particular ship idea.
BUT HE LIKES EVERYTHING ELSE MT STANDS FOR!!!!

Most items in general in other MMOs are permanent, whether they're acquired via in-game activities or microtransactions. If you buy an Ishukone Scorpion and it asplodes, you lose your cash investment. If you buy Plex for cash, convert it to ISK and buy a regular Scorpion which then asplodes, you've also lost your investment.
The only difference here with the proposed implementation(that's being changed anyway) is that it would have injected free minerals into the economy and bypassed the ship production process, simple though it may be.

This establishes a firm CCP-sponsored cap/floor on mineral prices and ISK to GTC conversion. Think either insuring and SDing navy ships for ISK directly, or reprocessing them for minerals. One is an ISK faucet, the other a mineral faucet. Both have CCP, as opposed to players, firmly dictating exactly how much ISK or minerals are worth, in real world $.
I am surprised noone mentioned it before. Even assuming you accept MT for spawning valuables out of thin air, this ****s with the markets big time. It's like in the old days with artificial caps/floors on mineral prices.
Originally by: HeIIfire11
How is this any different from buying isk online? Some bot had to create that isk too. If it was a hacked account that hacked person also had to earn that isk.
Because even the valuables sold by RMTers weren't spawned out of thin air.
Quote:
I told you all that plex was the start and here is that slippery slope everyone was talking about.
PLEX was quite reasonable and a good way to curb RMTing. Also, it doesn't spawn ISK/items out of thin air. You can sell it for those, but then someone else made the effort to get them.
What CCP is doing now IS spawning stuff, completely bypassing any player effort, game mechanic, markets, supply and demand...
The idiocy is unbelievable even for CCP

please enlighten me how not changing your release framework at all for this is "holding back"?

So, why did CCP implement it as a direct trade in the first place? Are you just trying to make us tired of griping about MT so you can kill the game with fatigue? I'd think it would be crystal clear that implementations like this fly in the face of player sentiment, so why does CCP keep trying to push them like that?

CCP Zinfandel you clearly stated in the tournmaent subforum that the new scorpion would come purely from aur when it is released if this is incorrect simply ask for a news note or dev blog to quieten the masses.
vile rat you are saying that u wouldnt want them to skip production when you havent read the post we are all having kittens over.
you cant miss it the tournment sub forum is not as crazy spam as the general one.

Please count this as another voice against the current plan. Wait until the store is ready rather than start a bad precedent. IG goods (those that have mechanical usage) come from IG mechanics, not RL currency.
