Implement the change proposed three years ago by this (what seemed to be, at the time) April Fools Joke of a DevBlog.

reported by CCP Hammer | 2008.04.01 00:38:57 | Comments
Here at CCP we care very strongly about our product, and we're constantly evaluating new paradigms and thoughtspaces in order to better realize our Total Market Potential. Our goal is to enhance the customer experience by offering new product channels and opportunities, allowing our customers to participate through selective transactional channels and fully realize their potential as Valued Income Partners û VIPs!
Today we're announcing an exciting new service family, which we're calling "Subscription 2.0". In the spirit of Web 2.0, this new Integrated Business Bundle will allow VIPs û that's you! û to participate in the global product community, creating your own Tailored Product Packages in a way which best matches your Ideal Product Experience.
Just as Web 2.0 is built on top of Web 1.0, Subscription 2.0 will be built on top of Subscription 1.0. We're not changing the underlying Service Provision Model û you'll still be paying a monthly fee as part of your Community Participation Agreement û although certain product areas will be migrated across to Subscription 2.0 in order to enhance user choice through Selective Resourcing. Subscription 2.0 will allow you to invest in optional product areas on an ad-hoc basis, so you only pay for what you actually want!
Our launch product for Subscription 2.0 will be AmmoAnywhere!, which will be fully integrated into the client next week. It does exactly what it says on the tin û simply click the new "AmmoAnywhere!" button in the UI, and a new stack of ammunition will appear in your cargo hold. We've done everything we can to streamline this process, so there's no fiddling about with details and authorization: once you've set up your account to enable Subscription 2.0, clicking "AmmoAnywhere!" will automatically bill your credit card for the transaction as part of the Customer Experience Process. No hassle, no fuss, instant ammunition!
Of course, we've had to make a few changes in order to fully realize the Product Delivery Potential of this new service. First up, all weapons will now use "NanoAmmo", which automatically morphs into the desired ammunition type at the point of firing. This ensures that there's no confusion over what ammo types you need to buy, streamlining the customer experience.
Secondly, as we're projecting universal uptake for this service, we're removing the ability to manufacture ammunition in order to prevent people from erroneously utilizing manufacturing lines to build ammunition. This means more manufacturing capacity for everyone!
Contingent upon a fully realized Product Delivery Potential, we have an additional range of Subscription 2.0 services in the pipeline which will further enhance the Customer Experience Process. These include InstaClone, Dock-O-Matic, T1 and T2 releases of BlueprintNow!, and many more.
Subscription 2.0 û the future is TODAY!

It's about time. I am sick of all those station manufacturing slots being needlessly taken up by ammunition build orders.

I'm glad CCP is finally getting around to addressing their backlog of promised content.

Hey Malcanis, I'm a big fan of your Law (as it is EXCELLENT for trolling people who think their ideas to make the game "more hardcore" aren't terrible). How do you think it applies to the new content they're bringing out in the New Player Experience?

To be honest when I'm ratting in deep 0.0 going back to station to reload my Raven with cruise missiles is always the most dangerous moment. This change would be a huge step forward in the playability of 0.0 space.

Looks pretty much like what CCP are implementing. Except the nanoammo, but maybe thats just on the backlog for CCPs next expansion code named "KERRRCHINNG!!!"

I would pay 99$ for that brand new feature. CCP bring your MT as promised in 2008 (no it was not a joke back then!

3 years later something that was so obviously a joke because it was so idiotic is now a reality with CCP wanting to implememnt click button, pay real money and receive a ship.
One part of CCP knows spawning stuff out of thin air is a bad idea ( look at reimbursements where they refuse reimburse modules that survived and were looted ), but all the way to the top ( Hilmar on Twitter ) other have given up on the sandbox because chaing dollar signs makes them look so much more hip and cool within the game developer's community. ( What aping Farmville as a cool MT based product makes is probably best left unsaid ).

Honestly? I don't see how Incarna at launch will benefit any player, new or old, in any material in-game sense. There's no gameplay, there's no socialisation, there's literally just a mirror in a room. So veterans don't benefit, but new players don't benefit either; as far as I can see it wont make a particle of objective difference to anyone. There are quite a few people who like the idea of EVE but dont play because they just dont like the idea of "being a spaceship. I guess Incarna will help them, a little, right up until they realise that if they actually want to do anything, they need to be in a ship. If CCP want money from those people, they need to provide at least enough Incarna gameplay to outlast the free trial.
Ask me again 2 or 3 (hypothetical) Incarna expansions down the line. If CCP put in some interesting gameplay that's not heavily skill-point or ISK dependent and is worth doing in its own right, then Incarna might end up genuinely benefiting new players. I wouldn't say I was exactly optimistic about this happening, but I won't rule it out either.
That said, thank you for the kind words about my Law. I feel that it has stood the test of time.

Totally agree with Malc here. There is literally nothing new being introduced with this patch. That's quite the scary realization for an "expansion" patch...

Actual salvager and tractor turrets. Those are new, unlike the rest of the turrets, which are just redesignsà
àaaand, I think that's it.
Well, the AUR store, I suppose.

But they are iterating in steps cause it ain't done and it has to get done and it must be 'fun' so they have to unleash the 'fun' on us all so we can enjoy the 'fun' now.
Then there is that bit about removing our clothing options, making us kill plex to generate Aurum GOLD and buying vanity items in the new vanity item cash shop.

That's the problem with humor. It requires a little truth to be funny. Only trouble is, sometimes that truth escapes its humorous confines and runs about au natural.

Unfortunately blueprint now! Couldn't be implemented so they're going straight to giving ships.
Takes ccp three years and they still can't deliver all promised content.

Don't forget the jail cell that is CQ!
Don't forget the awesome monitor that I am sure will display some sweet deals when you convert your Goblin Coins... Errr I mean Aurum.
Don't forget...... well I am sure there will be a "NEW" stealth nerf of something in there too......
OOPS almost forgot this one:
With the luanch of Incarna CCP will introduce us to what they actually are:
A company that has lost it's VISION and PASSION for it's own product.
