You can't blame CCP for wanting to make more money than they do now. You can only MAYBE blame them for doing it in a way that feels "wrong" to you. So you guys hate the idea of "pay to win", or in other words, any items that could potentially give an advantage. Even if it's NOT a big deal as long as handled carefully. Fine. Be that way. Why not. It's afterall what we were used to from the start of this game. If somehow miraculously, the playerbase would have spoken and CCP listened carefully... NOW WHAT ? CCP still needs to make those PLEX vanish, and if they also get some extra cash along the way, hooray them.
Let's say that CCP ends up "agreeing" with you that advantage-granting items and services should never be released. So, no "+5% stats" items, no AUR cerebral boosters, no AUR for remaps, no AUR for SP reallocation, no AUR for standings corrections, and so on and so forth a big no to a lot of items or services. In other words, none of the stuff quite a few people would be itching to buy - but would hate it if their opponents would do the same - would ever be for sale for AUR.
That leaves us with a problem. Low sales.
As a couple of people over in MD point out (Linkage1, Linkage2), at least at this point in time the NEX offers are mainly targeted at the ISK-rich people (who are supposed to want to buy PLEX and smash them into AUR - which would take at least partial care of CCP's "excess PLEX stockpiles" problem), but the real problem is, there's not much in there that an ISK-rich person would WANT to bother to get... not in any significant amounts anyway. Yes, RL-cash-rich people will also buy stuff from the NEX, but it doesn't help CCP's target of reducing existing PLEX counts.
Sure, you can always introduce a wide variety of cheap-ass clothing and other character customization options (they're going to be doing that anyway), you could introduce different-textured vanity ships (they are supposed to redo all textures anyway, so adding a bit of variation won't be that much extra work compared to what they'll do anyway) even if I personally would much rather see "paint" items inserted in ship "paint" slots (with even the possibility of players designing their own mix-and-mach combos eventually), but there's only so much of this kind of stuff people will tolerate buying before going "eh, to hell with it".
SO WE NEED IDEAS FOR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ITEMS OR SERVICES TO BE SOLD FOR AUR. NOT JUST VANITY STUFF (clothes, paintjobs), BUT STUFF THAT IS USEFUL // FUN // DESIRABLE. YET IT CAN'T GIVE YOU A DIRECT GAMEPLAY ADVANTAGE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL RAGE ABOUT IT.
...
I have come up with just two different sets of rough ideas, but I am curious if you guys can come up with even more than this.
I will go into more detail in the following post, explaining each is as much detail as possible, but for now, the uber-short descriptions: * holo battle recorder * Incarna digital EVE CCG.
...
MEANWHILE, FEEL FREE TO POST OTHER IDEAS. No matter how outlandish. As long as they are something you'd like to get but does NOT give you an ingame advantage and is not already on CCP's plan for the future. Obviously.

And no SP because I will not be able to control myself and I will have 5 max skilled Nyx pilots camping lowsec poses. Really, I'd like it but I can see where it can potentially go wrong.

Charge $1 a day for them to be broadcast in the region, $5 a day for them to be broadcast randomly universe-wide.

Edited by: Nyphur on 27/06/2011 00:42:08 Oh oh oh, here's a frigging good one. Sell wall-posters of various ships and such for reasonably small prices. Then sell a custom service that lets you turn a screenshot into a poster and charge a ridiculous amount for it. Even if this has to be done manually by a developer (like alliance logos), it would more than pay for the time it takes to set that up if priced at monocle-level prices.
This is how premium products work. You have an entry level product at reasonable prices, then a premium version that costs a ****-ton. You don't have all entry level products with all premium prices and then say it's OK because japanese designer jeans cost more than a month or two's rent

New shuttles that are the same as the existing ones? New skins of ships (so all Mallers for example have the new skin from your view point). Cosmetic changes that don't affect game play but could make ones experience playing the spaceship part of the game more enjoyable. I personally don't play zoomed in so I just see brackets and icons.
Maybe the ability to talk to mission agents remotely? I know this will impact game play but I'm struggling to find things that are fun and have some sort of value to the player, yet doesn't affect game play.
A longer skill queue? I've seen quite a few threads asking why it isn't longer so some people out there would be interested in it.

I think the big 'TV'-screen in our CQ has a lot of potential in that respect.
- commercials for your corp/alliance shown to everyone or per region - * and the option to make the screen free of said commercials
- special content channels you can subscribe to - * advanced trade info (not getting too specific here, MD forum can work this one out) - * regional 'breaking news' maybe showing large fleet movements and such
Just to get a few ideas out there.
I guess the advantage-granting part can be argued with these, but I'd not have a problem with stuff not affecting spaceships or characters.

Edited by: Medidranda Livoga on 27/06/2011 00:47:35 Edited by: Medidranda Livoga on 27/06/2011 00:45:45 This is a very difficult question because vast majority of useful addons and services would have simply been available to everyone with a patch in the past. Vanity stuff is easy but Incarna needs MASSIVE amount of content and coding + multiplayer before it really starts pulling in money (just is my guess anyway).
I`m sure they will try selling standing slots, fitting slots and so forth but that comes with temptation of limiting "non-premium" user accessibility. I think they already limited corp fittings to 50?
Jump clones without standings?

Yeah, if CCP needs cash they could ask the players for it this way.
First though - I would never resubscribe if any "non-vanity" item were implemented.
However, I'm totally fine with vanity items.
Some I might consider buying:
- Auction off system names (i.e., rename Oursulaert to "Thaya-rens Ostus Megaplex)
- a "better" and "faster" autopilot multiple destination optimizer
- a random bookmark generator (i.e., safespots without doing the stupid safespot work) with 10 charges
- Maybe some stupid stuff to put on a POS. Like a bar. Different structures.
- Sell alliance/corps logos
- BPCs for 'vanity' (i.e., useless) ships that look nice. I'm thinking of the rigged sailship shuttle that was given out once. Something useless, but that looks nice... i.e., make it SLOWER than a shuttle...but it LOOKS awesome.
- A "forever" clone - i.e., one that doesn't need updating
- NPC seeded skillbooks (i.e., delivered to your 0.0 hangar)
Just sorta thinking of some ideas for CCP to make money. Look - I'm perfectly fine with CCP getting more money. What I'm NOT fine with is CCP ruining the best MMO of all time - which 'non-vanity' items for AUR would certainly cause to happen.

This is how it should work.
I have a list of items in the store all of them are bpc's (each bpc has 5 runs on it)
lets say this time i pick monocole so i drop $60 bones and get the bpc...
i then have a list of ruff materials that i need to make the awesome monocles...
so i jump in my hauler go over the the planet and start making the base materials i need...
once i have the materials i then go back to the station and open industry and start a run cycle to construct the monocles...
I can then sell this item on contract or market or my store(when i get one) for ISK...
Do MT this way and i dont think people will have a problem with it...
make the arum store BPC only  
Personally i would want my store to be a "west cost choppers" where i install awesome engine trails and paint jobs...

The option to pay for a slot on a station to run a business from, such as a bar.
Said business would have to have in game services available that the business owner could charge ISK for.
Your one time fee, or even monthly rental fee, could provide you with a large revenue stream in game if you run your business correctly. ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

- Ship skins.
- Replacement Ship Models.
- SHIPS. Yes I said it, put some ships in there. I'm talking about the primae, the echelon, the zephyr and a host of other new ships that at most are niche items or variations of what already exists normally in game. Nothing better than existing items.
- Specialty Rig modules. Every ship gets a _single_ new rig slot that only these modules can fit in. Nothing large, at most 5% but could range from 1% to 5% introducing dozens and dozens of things to select from.
- Camera drone pets. Both out of ship and the avatar kind.
- Lots more cloths.
- CQ items. Beds, chairs, cabinets, trinkets, etc.
- Ship interiors. Part of Incarna should be that instead of going to my captains quarters I instead go inside my ship. Which means that there needs to be an option of where I go when I dock. So yes to all the whiners out there, give us a dropdown setting that gives us the ability to select CQ, ship interior, and of course the super lame spinny ship interior.
- Lower prices. Like way lower, monocles should cost <$10.
- Also all of it needs to be destructible. Which means that I need to be able to STORE avatar based items when i don't want to use them or have them get destroyed when I go out in my ship.

They could probably do this for nullsec systems once you hold sov for a certain amount of time. Would need to be names that at least somewhat fit into lore imo, i.e. a review process.

I have lots of ideas, wild and banal, but the question I need answered is why is PLEX not already being consumed?
If you can generate more passive (or almost passive) income with an alt in 30 days than the value of the PLEX, shouldn't you online an alt and cash in that income to buy another PLEX + profit? Shouldn't that provide the PLEX market with a natural value and a steady consumption of any surplus that accumulates?

Yeah that's a good one. Seriously CCP hasn't been creative.

Nothing should be added. PERIOD. This is only an attempt to get people to accept this shop. Once CCP thinks people have accepted the shop they will bring in the battering ram on your ass. The items that start showing up will astound you. You will say but.... but... they said they would never do this.
They know they will be doing this. They will not comment on it. They know any comment will bite them in the ass later.

Aurum purchased 3D modeled Awards/Medals that you could purchase and give to Corp/Alliance members. These could then be placed inside the Aurum purchased Corp/Alliance hangout area and displayed in a trophy case.
No actual gameplay is affected. Purchases are completely optional. CCP gets more money.

Originally by: Haunting Widow How does one define a NON-vanity and also NON-advantage item/service? Wouldn't non-vanity mean it had some sort of advantage?
"Vanity" means it has no (additional) use (compared to the base model) other than looking different, basically a status symbol, or, as some might call it, "expression of personality" (lol). A piece of clothing for your avatar is a vanity item. A different paintjob for a ship is a vanity item.
A non-vanity item doesn't necessarily need to grant an advantage. It just needs to be DIFFERENT in functionality compared to what's already available, or provide additional uses that do not directly impact performance (and hence, not conferring any gameplay advantage).
I gave two examples : a service to record (and then later play back) fights you've witnessed, and a game-within-the-game. Neither of them is a vanity item - the first provides functionality that does not exist now, while the second provides entertainment options that do not exist now. Yet neither of them gives you any combat advantage, nor an economic advantage either. _

On a serious note they simply could have risen the sub fee say 20-25%, simple, straight forward, still free expansions.. I would simply do that.
Not when they haven't been delivering on the development side of eve with our current subs.
To give them more money to spend on other games is not something im willing to do. EvE pays for itself. But they started diverting that money to other things. Not a shock considering a banker is in charge.

Another one: Air time for corps/alliances displayed on that big arsed in-game tv in the captain quarters.
AUR pays for air-time, which can be variable based on average players logged in during the given time-zone.
Corps like Jericho Fraction (are they even around still?) might dig that one, given their love for all kinds of banners.

I think the very idea is paradoxical if you're attempting to target isk->plex->aur transactions (the isk-rich) and thus tame the PLEX price.
-Making something widely desireable won't work, the poor will want it and they won't use isk to buy the necessary PLEX. They will use cash. -Making something narrowly useful to an elite few (monocle isn't a good example) would be almost impossible to do. What perk does someone with a trillion isk want that someone with 500mil doesn't? I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Vanity clearly doesn't work because that targets the VAIN and not the wealthy, many of whom are not interested in vanity.
My conclusion is there's simply no way to liquidate PLEX in any meaningful way using this system without making some isk-ceiling above which you must hold Aurum instead, perhaps incurring some sort of tax if that isn't the case. Although i'm quite certain that would be easily exploited, avoided, and ineffectual in it's own right.

Corporation store space, for things the corp specializes in selling. Sure, we have the market, but you can do different things in the store that you can't do in the market, like offer a discount for buying multiple of an item. Or offer different payment methods, such as accepting minerals instead of ISK. Lots of options here. The market is like a stock trading simulation. These stores can be like a simulation of RL stores.

I have a suggestion to this. Why don't they move some of the seeded npc items from the market to there and price it so that market traders would be interested in buying it to re sell on the main market.
An example would be skillbooks or Tech 1 BPOs. They currently can't be made, and I don't think they can be found in loot drops. This shouldn't give anyone an in-game advantage other than being able to make extra isk re selling on the market. |

Originally by: Akita T IDEA #2 - THE INCARNA-BOUND (DIGITAL) "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game"
This one is much easier to explain. For those of you that don't know, "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game" is an actual trading cards game that CCP has published at some time in the past in the real world. As far as I know, production has been discontinued thanks to relatively low interest, since you're not likely to be too close (geographically speaking) with too many other EVE players that are also CCG enthusiasts.
This is the proverbial "shooting down two birds with one stone" deal. They already have the IP (graphics, rulesets, backgrounds, etc) and they can create a place where the concentration of interested players can reach critical mass - inside Incarna.
Simply translate the CCG into digital form (there actually is a similar RP precedent - "Mindclash") and you're golden. Just sell the cards, booster packs or whatever it is CCGs are supposed to sell in real life, but sell them for AUR inside Incarna.
Heck, you can also implement "Mindclash" itself while you're at it (later). Sure, it will be a truckload of work, but... why not ?
Actually that was my second post in the new features and ideas forums, just before I learned that there is were the ideas go to die. I love that idea, but one problem might be that boosters need to be sold at reasonable prices, something ccp don't get lately. I fully support the idea, though.

Like some others have said, I think the in game EVE Card Game would be awesome. Maybe something like Magic: The Gathering where people could buy card packs with randomly generated cards. Different rarities, etc.
Also, maybe digitize the EVE Board Game. I'm guessing its not a particularly hot seller in the "real" item EVE store.
Why not digitize the ship models? You could put them in your CQ along with all the other things people have said (furniture, lighting effects, et.)

pretty easy.
what always works ? mount pet
what does that means for eve ?
* mount on eve would be shuttle ; so something with the stats of a shuttle, but a ****ing nice skin. i'll be 10 myself if price is okay. * pet : was said before, the lore of eve is extremly rich, let us add some of these creatures on our CQ, and later on the others incarna features. pet must have no attribute, it's only here for decoration, able to follow you and such (give him drone AI), and have nice emotes. our minmatar CQ need to be cleaned, just buy a fedo to clean it. you'll see him moving, and while having it, your CQ wil have a way nicer skin. amarr want to make sure no slave can escape, so they need a slaver. be sure to make him understand who is the master. any pnj would be terroritzed seing it while incarna will be here. of course exotic dancers. and slaves would be nice. gallente can have drone pet, caldari... well they only need money them.
for gameplay i'm for being able to only buy BPC for aurum, and having to produce the item with it and isk-linked items. it add mini professions.
another idea would be a virtual + real option on eve store. how about buying this nice coat both on your character and on real life ? if price are prety high here, not much will rage, cause it's normal.
for space, you can think of classic things, like changing the skin of your outpost / pos.
and why not, more than paintjobs, some graphical effect on your shiny ship ?
they have redone turrets, meaning they can do more things. i want that my lazor only fire red beam. very big red beam. and i'm a bad guy so i want a red aura on my ship minmatar is junk, so i want my ship to be full of smoke, and with pieces of things behing left behind i'm gallente and i'm using drones. but damn these things are so tiny... i want my drones to be giants, i want that they can be seen ! and that they look nice of course... i'm caldari, i like missiles. how about having dozens of missiles firing and not a few one ? each missile launcher launch 10 missiles visually. gonna make some boom.
i'm a big pirate. i want that my prey to know they are finished if they see me. when i scramble them they must ear me, they must hear my mark. add a little sound that is personalizable, that is played on some occasions. seriously eve have sound i'm not kidding.
well will be all for now

Tweak all isk sinks and faucets as needed for balance. Not selling enough plex CCP? increase the percentage of the "sinks" decrease the percentage of the "faucets" GAME WIDE!!!!! or if that is to mind boggling for you just increase the NPC sell order price for the vanity items CHRIST!!!!!!!

You have completely and totally missed the point of AUR // NEX. The point is that they are selling TOO MUCH of GTCs/PLEXes already, noticeably more than it's already being consumed on subs. What you propose will at most make EVEN MORE of them get created and keep on stockpiling at an accelerated rate, the exact opposite of what AUR is supposed to help with. _

Those ideas about recorded holo battles and ccg sound really good imho .
Also if they add a player bar or a corp meeting place that could work too. But as we all see incarna is only one room at the moment, so those things should come up later.
Maybe it would work if another payment option for corp offices/hangars in npc stations is added.- So, for example, you would be able to pay your office/hangar with isk or with aur.
Also one cool idea stumbled upon me just now . I somehowe rememberd a game X3:Reunion, there is a system in taht game which you can own, a tycoon bankrupted and so its up on auction douring the course of a game. You dont get much by buying a system for rediculous amount of money except you know its yours.
So why not do that in eve? What would happen if players can name a 0.0 system of their choice ? (if he/she keeps some previously enforced naming policies offcourse) But that should be expensive, very expensive. I would say it should cost at least as two monocles or more. I mean you pay the aur name system as you wish and it stays that way forever. Or even there could be some sort of auction (like in X3 game for example, npcs are constantly bidding on the system) and player who bids the most aur wins.

Personally, I think it would be cool to see movies streamed over the in game screen, like a video rental service of the newest movies and so on.
Or maybe instead of adding Flash to the browser, figure out a way so it works with the screen in the CQ and allow you to watch like YouTube, play Flash games and so on. Dunno how feasible that would be since they are worried about Flash security vulnerabilities for the browser.
Maybe add a solitaire game you can play while mining away, lol.
A streaming music service, or a service that adds music to your Jukebox.
Product placement wouldn't be so bad if it meant lowering the prices for some clothes. Like a Nike hat, or shoes. They get paid by Nike for putting the stuff in game as a form of advertisement, in turn, making it able to charge less AUR for it.
Just a few thoughts I figured I would throw out there.

But seriously, some good ideas. I don't think I'd mind the whole Aurum for station business idea. That was a good one.
Although its already a controversy, the whole "cloud storage" for Aurum thing is a good set of functionality imo. Other than the fitting slots, overview settings, or indeed the entire settings for your eve clients, backed up to TQ and retrievable once you log in your account on any computer for a modest monthly Aurum sum would be a good service. Gone are the days where a patch or computer died event causes you a day of setup.

2. Billboard Ad Space - Allows corps to advertise on the new (giant billboards you cant miss) - AUR depends on system - Ad lasts for 30 days

4. Additional Corporate Hangars - For a monthly AUR cost, you can get additional hangars
5. Ad space on EVE-O forums - For recruitment purposes etc, have your corp / alliance stand out from the rest
6. Real Corporate HQ - A base of OPs where you and corp members can chill - Additional Corp Hangar items can be bought for AUR (like pool tables etc)
<more to come>
Strike 1, or change that it works only in high sec, and not during war or pending for hostilities to begin. Otherwise it is too much of an advantage to someone trying to slip in a stealth POS/foothold (the whole point of only one anchor at one time is to make it such that you need a decent protection detail if you are doing it in hostile space).

A suggestion for CCP if you are looking to make money from the AUR store think of these options.
1) Sell a complete skill point reset for real $$ equiv of $45 This would mean you lose ALL injected skills including the BOOKs so there is a negative to doing this.
2) Sell a COMPLETE faction standing reset for real $$ equiv of $45 This would also mean you lose ALL standings so any faction/npc standings BAR sec status get set to 0.00
3) Change the CERTIFICATE system to have "pilot" quals. IE interceptor pilot, logistics pilot, battleship pilot and then have some mixed categories. IE Spec ops master and so on where a number of single ship type certs are needed. Then when a player unlocks this cert it unlocks a uniform in their choice of color in the NEX store for a purchase price of around $3-4 Then people have a reason to show off and its not expencive.
4) Give people a std wardrobe with 5 slots (shirts,pants,boots) of which you can mix and match as you see fit. Then offer MORE wardrobe slots for $5 each
5) give people fish tanks, bed sheets picture frames, pinball machines and even awards to hang on their CQ walls
6) have a larger range of clothes having 6 items at a major patch launch is a pretty big joke.
7) add custom ship SKINS NOT new ships so if guys want to have their scorp look cool they can buy a $5-$10 ship skin that is then always even after the ship is destroyed every scorp you buy would be fitted with the same skin. Even have multipul skins.
8) add custom ship paint schemes that you could pick from a std list of color types for each skin.
9) Add the ablilty to buy a BIGGER CQ for $5-$100 where as you scale up you add a bigger room or add extra rooms.
These are just some ideas of things that everyone i have spoken to has been talking about.
Ships/ammo/implants should NEVER be sold. a sandbox is a sandbox everything made in every is made by players (or as much as possible)
These are just some ideas feel free to comment
Please ensure you just add positive things to this post about what you would like to see sold and the basic price bracket.
CSM if other people post ideas in here please present these to CCP.
AUR & NEX is here to stay... now lets give them items that WE want at prices WE want to pay. The whole name MICRO transactions means exactly that MICRO ie dollar here dollar there. NOT $60 for 1 item.

The first one that pops into my mind is more hair styles, more variety in hair color. Even conservative capsuleers like to have their hair kinda poufy and bright :) I was really disappointed in the selection available to me - what, no CURLY hair?
Ability to custom-name all pos modules. Decorations for the pos - how about some holiday-themed ornaments to hang on the pos? :)
CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP items - sheesh, I don't pay that much for clothing in Real Life!
Personalized filters for the map, or additional filtering options

i guess this is better than raging.
-clone transfer to any npc station. maybe even to stations with blue status. it would be like a jumpclone, except you are paying the station to receive the data of your being. it should only be allowed every 24 hours for it would otherwise break immersion.
-advanced wallet: it shows you the kind of data that applications like eve mentat try to do in the wallet function. also extends the memory of the wallet, so you can go way back in your market transaction history. this could be augmented with a captains quarters display.
-advanced market: basically does what eve-central does, but in game. a mere convenience cost.
-saving of portraits. lets you basically save pictures of yourself so you can go through your various mood changes.
-the right to write in green on the forums.
-basically i think any aur item should be something that isn't really capable of being produced by a player in the game. the possibilities are endless. there doesn't have to be pay to win. there is no need for that market black hole.

Force the player to listen to Justin Bieber which you can't shut off unless you pay 10 AUR a day. This also cuts any funds to the music department - win win for CCP MOAR $1000 JEANS!

They should sell -Dev time- The nex could have a list of features players have been asking for, low-sec love, gallante love, faction warfare improvements, Expanded pos options, treaties, iterations on you know....spaceships,sleepers, etc (it would be a long list). They could estimate how much the dev time would cost and set that (or a percentage thereof) as a price, then keep a running tally of all AUR pledged to that project. If it reaches its goal (in say 6 mo) we see it in the next patch, if it doesn't players get their AUR back and its taken out of the store.

Edited by: Panda Name on 27/06/2011 03:00:30 also, concerning the monocles. in the future, make them actually do something to increase demand. currently, the demand is to **** people off, and it's pretty effective. when incarnia actually is released (lol) you could let the user of such an exquisite device toggle a data interface that lets them see an overlay of information. for instance, when looking at someone, a display would be generated that shows relevant player information. and maybe x-ray vision. 
charge them for the monocle upgrades, too, the bastards.

Some nice ideas there Akita.
I would like to see Poker and other card games brought in when Incarna really gets rolling.
Making it a relatively cheap AUR price would probably ensure that almost every player in the game would buy a deck.
Card Deck You could make an excellent deck based on the four races and the various ship types, ie. Titans as Kings, Mums as queens, etc. The Joker could be Jovian. It would look excellent and add Eveiness to something that everyone knows.  |

Sigh. My own similar thread seems to have died. Oh well.
Make the cost for a war dec be in Aurum.
Sell high sec POS anchoring rights for Aurum for corps which do not have standing. (Right now such corps get standing by meta-gaming, remove low standing members, rent high standing members, anchor POS, fix membership).
The ability to train 2 or all 3 pilots in one account at once.

The point is that they are selling TOO MUCH of GTCs/PLEXes already, noticeably more than it's already being consumed on subs. What you propose will at most make EVEN MORE of them get created and keep on stockpiling at an accelerated rate, the exact opposite of what AUR is supposed to help with.
I don't see, in any case, how you'd be able to target existing PLEX rather than just generate more. See my first post here if that's confusing.
How are you proposing that happen? Obviously there is a particular player type being targeted: one with lots of isk and/or stocked plex and no desire to buy new plex with fiat currency. Can you identify that player? Are they ubiquitous to one EVE subset (pvp'ers, industrialists, traders, nullsec'ers, etc.) or are they everywhere? If the latter (imo, more likely) is the case, then you have a problem of pandering to each group. Furthermore, you must be careful NOT to make the product gain MASS appeal as that would surely generate many more PLEX (operating under the assumption a few players own most of the PLEX stocks at the moment) rather than get rid of them.

Originally by: Akita T You can't blame CCP for wanting to make more money than they do now. You can only MAYBE blame them for doing it in a way that feels "wrong" to you. So you guys hate the idea of "pay to win", or in other words, any items that could potentially give an advantage. Even if it's NOT a big deal as long as handled carefully. Fine. Be that way. Why not. It's afterall what we were used to from the start of this game. If somehow miraculously, the playerbase would have spoken and CCP listened carefully... NOW WHAT ? CCP still needs to make those PLEX vanish, and if they also get some extra cash along the way, hooray them.
Let's say that CCP ends up "agreeing" with you that advantage-granting items and services should never be released. So, no "+5% stats" items, no AUR cerebral boosters, no AUR for remaps, no AUR for SP reallocation, no AUR for standings corrections, and so on and so forth a big no to a lot of items or services. In other words, none of the stuff quite a few people would be itching to buy - but would hate it if their opponents would do the same - would ever be for sale for AUR.
That leaves us with a problem. Low sales.
As a couple of people over in MD point out (Linkage1, Linkage2), at least at this point in time the NEX offers are mainly targeted at the ISK-rich people (who are supposed to want to buy PLEX and smash them into AUR - which would take at least partial care of CCP's "excess PLEX stockpiles" problem), but the real problem is, there's not much in there that an ISK-rich person would WANT to bother to get... not in any significant amounts anyway. Yes, RL-cash-rich people will also buy stuff from the NEX, but it doesn't help CCP's target of reducing existing PLEX counts.
Sure, you can always introduce a wide variety of cheap-ass clothing and other character customization options (they're going to be doing that anyway), you could introduce different-textured vanity ships (they are supposed to redo all textures anyway, so adding a bit of variation won't be that much extra work compared to what they'll do anyway) even if I personally would much rather see "paint" items inserted in ship "paint" slots (with even the possibility of players designing their own mix-and-mach combos eventually), but there's only so much of this kind of stuff people will tolerate buying before going "eh, to hell with it".
SO WE NEED IDEAS FOR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF ITEMS OR SERVICES TO BE SOLD FOR AUR. NOT JUST VANITY STUFF (clothes, paintjobs), BUT STUFF THAT IS USEFUL // FUN // DESIRABLE. YET IT CAN'T GIVE YOU A DIRECT GAMEPLAY ADVANTAGE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL RAGE ABOUT IT.
...
I have come up with just two different sets of rough ideas, but I am curious if you guys can come up with even more than this.
I will go into more detail in the following post, explaining each is as much detail as possible, but for now, the uber-short descriptions: * holo battle recorder * Incarna digital EVE CCG.
...
MEANWHILE, FEEL FREE TO POST OTHER IDEAS. No matter how outlandish. As long as they are something you'd like to get but does NOT give you an ingame advantage and is not already on CCP's plan for the future. Obviously.
Seems you're still confident about their intelligence, nor do I.

Originally by: MC187 folks are forgetting. every custom skin increases server load and the size of your install file.
Good point. But at least it would give my computer something to do. Skins can easily be cached client side. Make them optional for display reasons(someone with less video memory).
Not sure how it would effect server load. Too many variables.

Without reading the thread to see if it was mentioned.
A fully ANIMATED and slaver hound with it's own AI. I might spend $60 worth of plex on that cause that would be badass. Clothes I will never spend more than a couple of bucks on because their ****ing clothes. I'd spend a little bit more on ships skins than I would clothes but $15 for some ****ing pants is still out to lunch.
The problem that CCP seems to have overlooked is that regardless of the fact that you can buy these items with in-game isk, they still have a real dollar value as does the Aurum itself. The fact that it also has an isk value is irrelevant. Whenever they price something they always have to consider the real world value of the item and price according to that and NOT the ingame isk value. And they also have to price according to the nature of the item that they are adding. Like I said things like clothes should NEVER be exclusive, because their ****ing clothes, but big ticket items can have big ticket prices and people will consider them. I still think more then $20 for a single item about the extreme end of the scale though and mult-plex value items should be few and far between.

Jump clones for AUR (if you have the skills of course). Jump clone for AUR (unless your JC timer is already over). AUR for gambling, was pretty cool. AUR for more fittings saved. AUR for API usage (unless they drop that, which would be nice). AUR for "premium" contracts/orders (Sort of like google ads). -This would require some revamping of the market, so you'd need skills to see orders for a whole region. AUR for "premium" petition support (This one's sort of stupid, but hey, if people want to pay for faster service...).
This might be more of an advantage that people won't like, but maybe priority jump-in on crowded systems.
yeah these fail, but trying to be more productive.

Both ideas that will probably be unpopular but I don't think people will quit over it.
No, why unpopular? I just wanted to suggest that myself since it's the most obvious monetization of social interaction that: a) don't replace the existing item/service b) don't have any influence on shooting stuff in space

Damn right I can blame them for wanting to soak us for more cash. This isn't some free to play game where the majority of players are a bunch of freeloaders. This is a subscription based service where we pay a monthly fee for access with an understanding that the field is more or less level.
I'm not some freeloading punk expecting premium service for nothing. I'm a paying customer and I see a cash shop as something that creates a direct conflict between maintaining the integrity of game universe with the desire to generate real world revenue.
If CCP really wants to increase revenue I suggest that they do it the old fashioned way by providing a quality product that people are willing to spend money on. It's not hard hell they've been very good at it in the past.
I watched that damned presentation from Dice too, and I think the decision makers at CCP forgot that they already have an ARPU several orders of magnitude beyond what any of those little F2P games have.
Honestly I think vanity items are already a step to far but at least they don't threaten the integrity of the game world. Anything beyond them is a complete loss of vision, it's the same short sighted idiocy that has lead company after company into bankruptcy and insolvency sacrificed long term viability for short term profits.
CCP needs to remember the old investment truism, bears make money, bulls make money, pigs get slaughtered.
Because right now they are trying to be pigs, they have a damned good thing with EVE that frankly creates a very solid income stream for very little investment, they don't have to spend a fraction of what their competitors do on new content, there is a reason that most of their expansions resemble little more than glorified patches compared to what is put out by their sub based competitors.
Most of the content that really keeps people around is emergent gameplay, look at something like RVB other MMOs have to build special mechanics to promote that sort of thing, in EVE they players just made it themselves using the generic game mechanics.
The player base of EVE provide sufficient income to fund two entirely different products. So frankly when I see suggestions that CCP needs to make more money off of us as simply greedy. I already give CCP over a grand a year why the hell do you think they are entittled to more of my hard earned cash?
They want more money provide a quality product that people want to use, Incarna actually had real potential to expand their user base and therefor their revenue stream if they had spent the time actually developing a real avatar based expansion rather than a poorly optimized buggy excuse for a cash shop with some crappy controls and one of the worst camera controls I've ever seen.
They want to make money then invest in the actual ****ing product rather than a get rich quick scheme.

How about an Alliance pays a setup fee that puts there logo onto a ship (like the way they talked about ishukone) then every alliance member who wants that ship trades in there ship plus some AUR to get the new skin.
Could make it so that it only can be bought at a station the alliance owns so one reason to setup or attack a station. Ergo more fighting. Gives the new sov system some much needed expansion. Drains some isk/$ away from large alliances.
Could do corp as well but I would imagine those are too generic.

You don't "target" them.
Imagine Player A with loads of cash and player B with loads of ISK, both desiring some specific NEX items. Player A buys GTC/PLEX with cash, converts to AUR on the spot, buys whatever he wants with it - it's "PLEX neutral". Player B buys PLEX from the market, converts to aur, gets what he wants - it's "PLEX destruction". At no point in time have you got any "net PLEX creation" that was incentivized by AUR/NEX.
Quote: Obviously there is a particular player type being targeted: one with lots of isk and/or stocked plex and no desire to buy new plex with fiat currency. Can you identify that player?
Players like me, for instance, with plenty of ISK. I have no desire to ever buy PLEX with real cash. Or just about ANY OTHER of the players that purchase PLEX with ISK in order to keep their subs afloat and still has enough ISK leftover.
Quote: Are they ubiquitous to one EVE subset (pvp'ers, industrialists, traders, nullsec'ers, etc.) or are they everywhere? If the latter (imo, more likely) is the case, then you have a problem of pandering to each group.
Industrialists, traders, highsec mission runners and people higher up in the chain of command of 0.0 alliances are the types of people most likely to have plenty of disposable ISK, or assets that can easily be made into liquid ISK.
Quote: Furthermore, you must be careful NOT to make the product gain MASS appeal as that would surely generate many more PLEX (operating under the assumption a few players own most of the PLEX stocks at the moment) rather than get rid of them.
The most reasonable assumption is that while indeed, some players might have larger quantities of PLEX, the vast majority is most likely distributed across a vast number of accounts that only have one or two of them in reserve each. Still, it doesn't really matter all that much who exactly is holding onto the PLEX, since it easily changes hands, and you don't need to risk moving it if you're buying it to break it up into AUR. Also, as established very early in this post, you are highly unlikely to ever see a net PLEX stockpile increase because of any particular NEX item. Quite the opposite, if any NEX item is all of a sudden popular, they make the PLEX stockpiles deplete faster (or, well, grow slower, you get the gist of it). _

ABSOLUTELY. If there is someone that the SPACERICH absolutely wants in levels beyond the casuals, it is this and absolutely this. Let the spacerich be stakeholders to the game's future and not enemies to CCP's balance sheet. Let the spacerich bid for CCP's time.

Would the incrased relative isk value of PLEX (due to the reduced supply by AUR and greater demand from the traditional PLEX market + AUR) not cause more players to then sell PLEX for isk? I'm thinking that the fluctuation of a popular item on the AUR market would tend to cause a short term rise in PLEX stocks afterward as the players selling them attempted to cash in on the relatively greater value.
It just seems to me that the PLEX market will self-correct and AUR cannot have a significant effect on it.

AUR for improved insurance payout, especially t2. (just another way for people to fund new ships that doesn't generate new plex)
AUR for jump clone timers (okay, does sound iffy to me, but this is an throw ideas thread)
AUR for permanently anchored cans in space, for guys into spaceart
AUR for a spaceship "lock" that lets your ejected ship not steal-able to others unless they have the password (but they can still blow it up, of course...this is mainly for ship transfers)
AUR to bid for the creation/removal of mission agents at certain NPC stations. (note: agents accessible to all)
AUR to bid for the addition/removal of sci-indy slots at certain NPC stations (note, newbie stations will have modification so that jobs not from tutorial missions is not accepted)
Huge amounts of AUR allows you to bid to change station orientation (more guys stuck at amarr undock, yay for ship scanners !)
MASSIVE amounts of AUR allows you to relocate gates for some systems, within reason

IDEA #2 - THE INCARNA-BOUND (DIGITAL) "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game"
This one is much easier to explain. For those of you that don't know, "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game" is an actual trading cards game that CCP has published at some time in the past in the real world. As far as I know, production has been discontinued thanks to relatively low interest, since you're not likely to be too close (geographically speaking) with too many other EVE players that are also CCG enthusiasts.
I would argue that this idea is what kept starwars galaxies alive for so long (those not familar with this idea see Star Wars Galaxies the Trading Card Game
to see the effects of the card came you could login to swg and see in almost every player city items from this card game for example the Fallen AT-AT player home it required 4 loot cards in order to get the house but once acquired you had a pretty cool vanity item .
there was also special vehicles (pod racers and ships among others), clothing, and player altering items such as glowy eyes (which was lame in my book) . They even played with experience point boosting items that gave a short xp boost for a period of time although they were very few and far between .
One critique would be that these items eventually junked up swg. Out of the place items like the AT-AT home scatted across the land scape, yoda's hut here and there, glowy eyes, mini snow speeders flying around characters (other wise known as familiars ) and im not sure if wings was a loot card but yes wings. so you had chars running around with glowy eyes, sporting wings, and some miniature snow speeder hovering around their head, The card game is a perfect example as to how vanity items could add win to eve and also add a whole lot of loose to it also . music the paint dance floor the canvas your body the brush |

hmm some ideas that might/might not work :-
a slot machine in the walk around station that takes aur tho im not sure this wouldnt req a gambling licence of some sort and could have issues where under 18s are using ?..
character transfer fees etc. could be in aur since they are real money anyhow
Id also say it might work making the existing capital ships available on the aur market as well as the normal market because if you cant afford it in isk you,ve spent years training for it so you deserve to have it any way, you could say ppl will buy just to sell but they can do this with plex already, would it hurt to have more capitals owned by rich ppl to blow up in low/null sec, i also think this one would combat r.m.t as its prolly these higher value ships that get bought
interface stuff - alternative screens,dials,icons etc.
merc services - maybe merc corps could opt to be paid in aur - (could already be tied in with dust )?.
system name tags in 0.0 :- big alliance wants to add an extra tag to be shown when jumping into its systems they could do it with aur, though would have to be done via an application that would need to be approved for obvious reasons, they dont want to no problem doesnt affect them or gameplay in any way
ship names :- not really important as has virtually no effect on gameplay but the registry of ships has to be updated so make a charge of a few aur, we do it in real life if we want to change a registration.
just a few random ones.

Some of these are minor ones, and some of these are for the super rich who want to be remembered. Prices are what I feel is fair, but... Then again they are selling a monocole for 70 dollars.
Basically giant ego boost.
Escort/props Able to "summon" and "anchor" for short time different ship types. They aren't able to do any damage but can fire for their particle effect. Prop ships can kill other prop ships, they are clearly labeled on overview as a prop. This would mainly be good for roleplayers/video. 50 cents for small frigates, 1 dollars for cruisers, 3 for battleship, 5 for carrier/dread/rorq. 12.50 for titan.
Low enough in price that people would be curious enough to goof around with them and go "Watch me pit these two titans at each other."
race change since race no longer matters, I started off as caldari but I feel for the Minnies now. 30 dollars
ability to rent arenas For arena tournaments, a way to open a arena in high sec/lowsec/0.0 where every members of your fleet can warp in and be free of standing hits Would be great for free for alls. Would be able to set restrictions on what type of ships could come through. Also in higher ones trackers of kills/damage/heals/ect (think stats you get for wow arena)/Set conditions
5 dollars for 4 hours, 1-10 people no killboard 15 dollars for 4 hours, 1-10 killboard/choose conditions (similar to WH effects) 15 dollars for 4 hours, 11-25, no effects/kb 25 dollars for 4 hours, 11-25 people, full effects 35 dollars 26-50 for 4 hours. no effects/kb 50 dollars 26-50 for 4 hours, full effects
monuments ability to to place a monument, and name it. Different patterns designs. Invulnerable. Certain restrictions would apply, and is broken into two price ranges. 1 year and permanent
1 year 200 dollars forever 300 dollars
I want to be special Be involved in the naming, or lore, ect behind one of the next items CCP releases, or missions. With approval.
150 dollars.
Name change where they have an asterisk next to their name in local, and if you right click show info you can see their previous name, and a page on eve where you can see a list of name changes. This is less about escaping reputation and more changing a stupid name you choose back when you were 15.
40 dollars.
Rick Roll able to force someone to have "never going to give you up" play through their speakers.
667 dollars
I want to be part of history! Be part of official lore, as part of expansion/ect.
Price on this is iffy, for instance I remember the video of that nyx that crashed into the station. It'd be interesting if "Corke Freerunner" A notable minmitar freedom fighter of the Corporation Liberation Nation has crashed a nyx into the station. Actually I don't think that case was about slavery, but my point remains.
For something that is majorly public like that 750?
I IS WINNER Preset templates for items that are trophies (different types),metals,ect that you can name. I know this is a somewhat implemented feature but an actual trophy would be nice. Come in packs of 3(gold,silver,bronze),5,25,50,100.
Disco Fever! Disco balls in space with light effects last 2 hours but is targetable and killable. Has health of say a large tech 2 bubble. Set amount can be out in a system at once (for lag purposes) can't be on station (unless player owned)
look sometimes you just gotta dance.
10 dollars for 1, 2 for 15.
Pie in your face Much like snowballs that are given out. Except it is a pie. 5 dollars for 10.

Think I'm gonna start charging CCP to actually have their software on my machine. Sort of like a 'processing fee'. I pay them for the code, they pay me for providing the hardware to run it.
I can offset any MT costs I incur against what I make off CCP.

Let me test this... Get a character clone on Sisi with max skills (and a star next to name to indicate)
25 dollars.
Real life alert I know there is a similar service, but a service that when something occurs (skill training completed, PoS attacked/running low on fuel) you get a push to your email
6.50 for month of service
Title Similar to EQ/EQ2 where you can have a custom title. Such as Akita The Supidly Rich. 70 Dollars.
Attention ***** In the list of names in local, be able to choose a color (other then the isd/gm ones) that your name appears as. This would not show up in text, just name
17.50 1 month.
Rainbow pony contrails out of back of ship that last for 20 minutes that are rainbow form and "streak" for a bit.
15 dollars 5 charge.

WILL CCP START SELLING NON VANITY ITEMS ON NEX(SUCH AS FACTION ITEMS, STANDINGS AND OTHER CHARACTER ADVANCEMENTS)? YES OR NO "SAY IT AINT SO JOE " answer us please
I hope you don't fill our sandbox with concrete Seriously we are passionate cause we love this game and would hate to see it die if you need more cash raise subs a few dollars and in turn give us some new missions im sure no one would complain if you were honest and said look our production costa are going up and we need to generate a bit more revenue as such rates for playing are going to 19.95 and the AUR well it was a bad idea we will just seed these non vanity items on the market or put em in the lp store

A decent couch would be nice. But I can imagine CCSparkle Monocle would charge more than a REAL COUCH, so that's probably out. A stripper pole for all my exotic dancers maybe. My prostitute would certainly be useful on that too...
But on a slightly serious note: most of the protest has been about 'Golden Ammo'. But what if they actually did? Something along the lines of Faction Ammo. Slightly better damage factor ( because you ARE paying real money for it ). And before everyone goes ballistic - most ammo doesn't stick around. It gets used. It's a consumable after all, so it's certainly going to get used up.
As long as it's not a complete faceroll/I WINZ item, but something maybe slightly better than Faction ammo: is that really so terri-bad? I can even see not having a basic t1 flavor of ammo as a turn-in. After all: how many 100 stacks of ammo drop out of wrecks as loot? Those materialize out of thin air, so having NeX ammo 'materialize' probably isn't going to break the Eve economy any more than it already is.
It's something to think about. We know CCP is bound and determined to shove P2W down our throats, but IMO something like this, while going against ... quite a lot of things, at least in basic theory - isn't that game changing. The 'Golden Ammo' is only slightly better than Faction Ammo. Say an extra 5% damage bonus. CCP gets what they want, and ... Eve players don't get screwed quite so badly. And since we've already seen how CCP prices items like you've walked into a high end exotic sports car dealership: it'll be so damn over-priced -> nobody will buy it anyway.

Still very suspicious of the whole MT thing. I'd like very much to see non-strategic mt in the EULA (with retroactive sub refunds if its violated - the poison pill).
I CCP can allow players to set up shops. Players pay for services/items in Aurum, the shop owner gets paid in isk.
Also, Aurum to hire mercinaries to protect your planetary assets (when dust comes out)
Aurum to bribe concord? (too much of an ingame advantage? nothing to say that concord has to tell the truth - especially if they're corrupt enough to accept bribes)
As long as we're approaching the precipice, how about aurum for POS space in high-sec (replaces charters).
I really like the idea of corporate advertisements on the billboards and CQ monitors. Aurum seems to be a good unit of exchange between NPCs and corps or rich players.

1: Casino. Since the $ to Aurum transfer is one way (in theory), this type of gambling is not regulated by most laws. 2: Ability to rename systems that a corp/alliance have sovereignty on. 3: "Premium" clone vat access at major trade hubs. 4: Automated concierge services at stations that auto-repair all docked ships and deducting the cost from your wallet automatically.
I can only think of these at this time of the night.

Edited by: Raid''En on 27/06/2011 10:05:23 a list of all the nice things i saw on this topic :
Originally by: Namura Kautsuo
Ship interiors. Part of Incarna should be that instead of going to my captains quarters I instead go inside my ship. Which means that there needs to be an option of where I go when I dock. So yes to all the whiners out there, give us a dropdown setting that gives us the ability to select CQ, ship interior, and of course the super lame spinny ship interior.
would be really nice seeing your ship from the inside, with NPCs on it ; would be funny seeing the crew of your BS, stay here 30mn, undock and got instaganked, and thinking of all this crew dying :p
Originally by: Thaya-rens Ostus a "better" and "faster" autopilot multiple destination optimizer A "forever" clone - i.e., one that doesn't need updating NPC seeded skillbooks (i.e., delivered to your 0.0 hangar)
would really like an autopilot more reactive... just put it still below manual piloting ; not quick enough to avoid gatecamp, but who don't take a while to move. forever clone is nice ; no risk to forget. skillbooks at your hangar is nice also but need them to be 2-3x more expensive than normal one, so won't hurt trader doing it.
Originally by: Ded Moroz Another idea - we all enjoyed shooting statues during the protests. How about let us "buy" and place these statues by NPC/player stations? The more popular the system, the more expensive the statue.
For example a "greek-god-like" statue of Ded Moroz in Jita worth 250 monocles. Yes, i am that sexy.
being able to create statue on outspot would be nice
Originally by: Jacob Kelbrand Corp/Alliance owned billboards or similar in 0.0?
lots of agreement on this one, just do it
Originally by: Zag'mar Jurkar A remote Skill queue updater from your cellphone!
with only that CCP would make a lot of money
Originally by: Galigonge What about 0.0 system renaming?
free tears, i'm sure they would love that
Originally by: Jules Asner
9) Add the ablilty to buy a BIGGER CQ for $5-$100 where as you scale up you add a bigger room or add extra rooms.
current CQ is either too big or too small, i'd love to have a bigger one.

- The ability to purchase things in the EVE store (eg, real shirts, ship models, etc) for AUR
- Fanfest tickets for AUR
- CONCORD billboard / captain's quarter's advertisements for AUR, subject to GM approval
as i said before you can even suggest virtual + real clothes bundle
i'll add from myself : - reskined shuttles - incarna pet
and the classic : -casino - more char customization stuff (i really need more haircuts)
and one noone was foolish enough to say, but who know : aurum for playstation 3. you may be able to get a deal with sony after all, it's to buy dust after :P

Edited by: Nilanea on 27/06/2011 10:50:27 I thought this would be easy at first, but looking at the rules you put forth... It's pretty hard to think of something that's not considered vanity or gives you an in game advantage.
1) Allows the user to use custom wallpaper for the generic CQ or allows a player to select various themes to change the look of the UI. This shouldn't be considered vanity as it only can be seen by the player using that account.
2) Mini games in the CQ. While at the CQ, you can play Slots, poker, basic generic video games... that do not require a license which CCP has to pay for. No money is won, it just for fun and maybe a record of high scores is put in place to keep track of wins.
That's all I could think of... The following might be considered giving a player an in game advantage.
2) Upgraded dock manager. When a user docks at a station, for a small fee the dock manager will tell you if your ship (drone/mods) needs repair, any drones lost, #### ammo threshold has been reached and require resupply. Notifications are automated, you still have to manually select repair and drag items to ship.
3) Market spotter. For a small fee you can keep track of an item or two. If it falls into a certain buy/sell range it will send you an in game mail letting you know that item has reached whatever price you put on it.
Meh. This idea most likely not work... but an idea.
For Plex or Aur, allow user to place a corp or website (related to Eve) at the log-in screen. At the same time, allow users the option to disable non CCP ads from showing. This allows the player the freedom of not looking at the additional ads placed there.
Akita T, thanks for the thread.

Just thought of something after reading through this thread.
Aurum for warp to zero when auto-pilot is enabled.
I don't see how that would actually give people an in-game advantage that would matter much since auto-pilot is mostly used to move stuff around Eve. Except maybe get their product to market a little faster. People usually only use auto-pilot while AFK or tab-alt into another client anyway.

How about out of game products for PLEX?
CCP could team up with partners to supply ship models, magazines, T-Shirts, ties etc. The PLEX has been paid for, so its not like they are giving things away for free.
If the issue really is simply a matter of inconvenience for accounting, CCP could in this way show that its not solely a matter of trying to make old debt (PLEX) vanish.
Products with physical substance can be way more 'classy', than any in-game vanity items.

AUR to free helicity *oh wait~*
AUR for Concord enforced 1v1. Other ships that try to lock will spawn concord that will hit them with infinite strength ECM.
AUR for large colored billboards that can be permanently anchored to form images.
AUR for temporary skill point booster. (eg, you get 1.5m to allocate for 5 hours, after which the skill point is subtracted back) Being capped by real skill limits means it should be somewhat acceptable.
AUR for tour of jovian systems
AUR for placement of space beacons (visible on overview anywhere in system by everyone)
AUR for improved Pod (faster warp speed, more ehp, +1 warp core stabilized, lock slots with decent range/scan res)
AUR for a special module that stops self destruct sequence of whatever it is used on (haha)
AUR for a special module that can "tag" a pilot's name with additional comments that last for a short time. So we'd get display on local like (Alita T: He just falcon alted my ass, what a bastard!)
AUR to allow you paint kill decals based on how many final hits you have made in the said ship.
AUR for the special ability to find out what implements is in a pod you've killed.
For massive amounts AUR, to change gate connections between systems (within reason)
For significant amounts of AUR for truly customized ship/char models (uploaded by player with resources)

Edited by: Terminal Insanity on 27/06/2011 13:02:26 AUR for Events And not just events that we've seen in the past. AUR Events should be extensive, and take about a week for a whole story arc. Timeframes should be put into place, maybe 2 or 3 hours each day and have a set time so the paid attendees can plan around attending them. Prizes/drops should be on par with the difficulty.
Aur for Modules Custom named modules, or named after the player who originally bought the item. Guns with cool new graphic effects. These should require a standard eve base item to be 'traded up' into the customized version. The custom version should have IDENTICAL stats. Imagine ganking chribba and getting 'Chribba's Veldsucker'! (API issues; killmail API would need to show itemID AND name of module, so that killboard sites can give proper stats and display custom name)
AUR for Exploration! Allow AUR to spawn exploration sites in the player's current system. Or, increase the spawn rate of an entire system or constelation. These sites should spawn and act just like a regular site, allowing other players to come and grief/pirate/etc Perhaps rewards could include a monicole or other NeX type items ^_^
AUR for Real Life Allow us to buy Eve store items (real world items) with AUR =) *eyes minmatar battleship model* Or what about AUR for E-ON subscriptions? ^_^

None.
If CCP wants to expand the NeX store then they need to drop the sub and go F2P. Paying $15 for buggy expansions, horrible customer service, slow development, and broken features is already bad enough. Subs should mean that everything in game should be available to the player. If they are that desperate to get more money then raise subs a couple dollars, or start buying up plexs from the market to reduce supply.

Nice idea, Akita. I like both of your ideas.
My idea: I'd like some way to create and sell personalized content in-game. Whether that be paint jobs for ships, or tattoos, or scars, etc. Whatever. I spend some amount of Aur and get "something" in return, which lets me create the new texture.
At that point, it's up to me to be able to create content people want to pay for. :)

Funny, another Feature and Ideas in GD.. wonder why that is - and more importantly, why CCP didn't start that thing OR take part in it. 
If I could I would like to buy communication with AUR from CCP. 
Anyway.. here you go:
- access to the SDK that allows CCP to make those space scenes for AURUM anyone? (CCP always said they wont release as the cost to make this can't be justified.. now, what's the pricetag in AUR?)
- same for a SDK that allows such stuff with characters for AURUM anyone?
- +1 for the battle-recorder! << really like that one!
- +1 for advertising within Eve (billboard, stations, CQs)!
- instant alliance logos (24 hours till ingame max, animated even?), but this stuff needs to work flawlessly for the premium (24 hours!!!) and involves no minimum member count to be eligible!
- access to private hangar of your Alts - even on other Accounts (monthly cost)
- access to CQ of Alts - even on other Accounts (monthly cost)
- additional private wallet divisions (monthly cost)
- any kind of clothing or furniture or ship painting & appearance customisation (trail colour for example) and whatever mechanic CCP comes up with to make it is fine with me
- skill change from mobiles/web (monthly cost)
- bigger signature pics (pixels or bytes, dunno) for forums
- custom design clothes/furniture (really expensive) where you get the option to sell the results ingame.. similar to that 3rd party app licensing out of game
questionable suggestions, but I throw them in for the sake of it:
- additional POS at same moon - different grid, only one can moon mine (monthly cost)
- additional offices at NPC stations once the max limit is reached (monthly cost)
- feature prioritisation (put your money where your mouth is) for a pool of stuff that CCP is able to make in a timeframe and community gets to choose this way what to prioritise
Another edge to the whole thing:
- award bugreports with AURUM as payment if they're useful and unique - first to report the bug and gets listed as 'attached to a defect' will receive AURUM to spend on TQ (might look into this for your bughunters too). As AURUM don't give you an ingame advantage (right?), but you can convert them into ingame stuff you motive people to 'work' for you (is that legal?).
- award exploit reports with even more AURUM.
..running out on the 29th - CCP, do your homework or I won't coming back!

So many of these ideas involve people paying to remove artificial inconveniences like the skill queue length and the need to reclone. This is a very slippery slope as it will encourage CCP to artificially limit future features just to squeeze extra money from their customers. THIS IS BAD! Please restrict yourself to ideas to VANITY products and VANITY services (such as those suggested by Akita T).

Templates. template cost based roughly on the cost of the matching bpos
Bascialy take a BPO, a Template of the same class as the BPO, Datacores, a reseach slot and BAM! out pops an A-BPO (advanced)that has a bonus to one stat. Want a A-BPO 1AU faster hauler, bam! Want an A-BPO with a extra non weapon module slot on your Probe? BAM Want an A-BPO that builds an A-Orca with a bit more hanger space? BAM
note there might be some penalties on this.
Combined with makers marks on items this would make for intresting variations from the same ol same ol we see nowdays. .End of line.

Target drones: Drones that can be released to orbit within a specific range of the controller. A variety of speeds, sizes and EHP available. Target drones can be released a la cans, making them free fire targets in high sec. Perhaps with a lifespan limit.
Fireworks ammo. Rainbow lasers, star burst projectiles, and missiles with colored trails. The ammo does no / trivial damage, it just looks pretty.
Target drones + fireworks ammo = fireworks show.

I will quit if/when pay to win is implemented. I will be extremely angry if basic fixes that CCP has needed to implement forever only come to those that MT for them. I pay a subscription already. I don't know if I would quit over that.
Ship Coloring, that Idea with the recorder, posters all good ideas.
On the other hand I find it ammazing the things people are sugesting in this thread. A FREE SAFESPOT IS A GAMEPLAY ADVANTAGE. A NEW RIGSLOT WITH A 5% BONUS IS A GAMEPLAY ADVANTAGE!!! ARRGT BLAGAH QW#$QADFFVA$%@****1THATQQWFRQWEQFF@F@F
Ok I'm better now. How about being able to hire advisors that tell a person things about their ship and the situation. Things people would already know but might miss if they're a noob/not paying attention.
Combat Advisor "Sir we're being locked up by x enemy vessels." (Enemy being not blue.) "Sir, he system is empty." (Local is/has cleared) "We've been uncloaked!" "Shields are failing!" (While the alarm siren sounds.) "Sir! At this rate the computer estimates hull failure in x minutes y seconds." ect.
Mining Advisor "Sir, we've finished clearing this asteroid. Permission to move onto the next?" "Sir, the cargohold is full." "Local has just increased by x." "Local spike!" Even something like- "I recomend IMMEDIATE evasive manuevers!"
These things toe the line between giving a gameplay advantage and not. But they don't really do anything a skilled pilot wouldn't have going on in their head already. I'm thinking a skilled pilot would find them annoying. A noobie on the other hand would benefit from the right kind of advise. So there's a leveling effect between the experienced and inexperienced that noone would reallly complain about.
People would find it awesome to have 'officers' aboard their ship especially since CCP is always going on about how the ships are crewed.
A 'dead' officer resulting from a ship explosion would drive home the fact that people have died over the course of your PVP joyride/being horribly ganked.
The trick would be creating a wide enough selection of officers and somehow randomizing their traits a bit so that they felt somewhat unique. Multiple voice actors would be needed.
You could pay some bum off the street a minimum ammount of Aurum to be an officer. Kind of like Larry the Cable Guy in space. Probably doesn't give the best advice. On the other end of the spectrum monocle-plus pricing could get you a military officer from one of the 4 factions' navies. Better advice, possibly more advice, and will sound more sophisticated.
So what I'm talking about is a somewhat-Vanity AUDIO item.

AURUM for Kill Mails - the ultimate vanity item that eve already has  The free km would just say Victim: xxx Damage Taken:xxx Location: xxx (Ship type: N/A, Modules: N/A, Cargo: N/A ) If you want to be a pea**** and strut for everyone to see you pay 25 aur for the full km to post it up and " Proof or GTFO" show everyone you just popped a kestrel with 50 Plex. Genuine Hunters and Mechanics don't give a grap but the Garmons,Lukka's and Orphans would never be able to live without it.
No performance boost, no loss to those who don't care.

Oh and did someone come up with an ingame killboard for aurum? Let¦s say it costs a monthly fee to maintain it, and the fee is aurum (but it has to be reasonably priced)

Here's my thread. Same topic posted by an uglier face: Linky
Plenty of nuts ideas in there - some crazy enough that they just might work.
I've come to the conclusion that we can make AUR work and really it's our opportunity to illustrate ways that it can happen that enhance the game rather than break it. I'll prune some of the suggestions out and feed them in to this thread to have one focal point.

OK - here are some interesting ideas form my similar thread - some are great. They're likely to duplicate some of the ones in this thread but I just don't have time to crosscheck. I'm a busy clone these days.
From: Hatchet Q - Purchasing RL items will give you special codes, that lets you claim vanity items. For example - purchasing Apocalypse model, will get you a non-tradable paint kit for your ingame apocalypse. Purchasing RL t-shirt will give you code to claim such shirt for your avatar, etc..
From: Jax Mones Keep the items and their prices, add more items, ships(consumes a regular ship, as explained in AT9)
From: Canuk EroSennin 1. Sell Vanity Items for decent prices 2. Be able to use AUR to bribe concord/faction officials to raise your faction/concord standing to a Maximum of 0.00 3. Rebalance PLEX/GTC/TIMECODE options to involve a 365 day code, 6 month code, and a 2 month code. (2+6 month only available for Timecode Bazaar) 4. Allow certain authorized people to sell GTC's locally for cash in their region. (To expand the game to those who do not have access to a credit card) 5. The Majority of eve income should go towards the betterment of EVE online. 6. Create 5 SUPERGATES in Jita, Hek, Dodixie, Rens and Amarr which you pay a certain reasonable amount of AUR for a monthly pass to use.
From: Joe Forum Very simple.
Offer a Premium Subscription - for exactly $1 more per month.
Have that $1 automatically buy CCP stock each month (for the subscriber). There are many small investment vehicles which make it easy to do pooled investments and 'fractional' share purchase.
CCP market value has an upwards pressure, plus paying custoemrs become shareholders and are more able to control 'their' game.
From: Erica Bloodbane Turn the MT store into a real store. Paid for in plex or paypal,etc. With real items for sale, eve t-shirts eve mugs dust items t-shirts etc. Licence the IP out. Let people produce eve related items, and sell online ingame. Use the new money to develop dust etc 9. |

More ideas from my similar thread.
From: Me .. Clone 9 How about vanity at a corporate identity level rather than personal? Your corp gets its own basic office - but you want to pimp that out with fancy corporate stuff, agent booths (where corporate standings allow), military decorations displays, corporate personalised merchandise (Goonfleet hotpants and crop top) etc etc etc - I mean you could really go to town here - all these extra non-advantage things could be paid with by AUR.
Rather than expect the individual to pay - allow corp members the ability to make micro-contributions towards corporate PLEX as a subscription top-up that could feed in to these features.
FROM: Tautut I like the idea of IP broadcasting in-game. let corporations buy a broadcast license from CCP and pay in AUR, and then broadcast that in-game within the CQ and Incarna environment. Radio stations etc.
I would need support from CCP but it's not monocles or ponies and would really add to the community feel.
FROM: Ion Sky 1.Keep the NEX store,lower the prices and flood it with vanity items 2.Release furniture and other knickknacks for CQ via NEX(posters,model ships ect.) 3.Expand station environment "SE" to include a Main Plaza and Casino 4.Introduce mini-games to the casino (Eve poker,roulette,slots ect.)payed with AUR 5. Expand further on 'SE' (Bar,Corp HQ ect.)all with more AUR purchasable items available for them 6.Release paint jobs for ships (1 run BPC) 7. Fix all problems we've had for ages FW,Hybrids,Lag,Sov etc. 8. Bring out new content for spaceships in space (T3 frigates ect.) 9.Advertise EVE with yet another flashy video 10. Watch new players stream in and old players be satisfied (hopefully coz they're hard to please)with the fixes/new content
FROM: Frank Corncob Sell faction standings.
Rules:
Positive standings required.
Only 4 major empires. That means NO pirate faction, sisters of eve, concord, interbus, w/e
No research agent corps. Lai Dai, etc..
You "buy" a storyline mission for the appropriate level you can run. The corp that owns the station is the corp that gives you a storyline.
FROM: Adunh Slavy F2P P2W idea in this thread: Linkage
FROM: Mirage Excelsior Let the super rich 'rent' NPC stations.
Every 1/3/6/12 months, hold an auction, with a list of the 10/15/20 most popular stations.
Then those that want to, can bid with their/dads credit card.
The winning bidder for that period then 'owns' the station, and collects the sales tax on all items sold on the market in that station.
Throw in a usable bonus per each ownership cycle, State/Fed/Rep/Imp battleship BPC, or perhaps a BPC of the ships awarded for tournaments and/or other rare ship BPCs.
FROM: C0mbat W0mbat Based from that, some ideas from a mission running carebear Pov a) repair faction standings for aurum, 1PLEX to get a faction boost of 50%, capped at 1.0 faction standing. Saves the player a month of grind if he went beyond good with a faction, but does not enable lvl3/4 agents right away b) same for concord sec rating, lets welcome hard core pirates back in carebear heaven c) let me talk to agents remotely, I would even activate CQ again to use this. This service costs 1plex for 360 days d) bribe agents to give me a new mission earlier than 4 hours when I declined one. No standing loss then. Price is 3 to the power of (agent lvl). so 81Aurum for lvl4, 240 Aurum for lvl5 e) transfer kill rights for Aurum. I want to hire a Merc to do my revenge f) gimme a concord response fleet for aurum that will strike back even in low sec (just dreamin' here, killing low sec mission runners is too little risk for the pirate in my eyes) Make it 3 strike forces for a plex, contract running 3 months, basically like insurance. They only help you if you are above -2 sec rating and not GCC when attacked.

Drop all those special-items-for-extra-money ideas. Every player should have the same chance at obtaining an in-game item as any other player and independent of real-world differences between them. If you allow for differences then we will not be one community any more, and worse, it will become visible only by walking through a station. So stay as far away from it as possible.
- Give clothes to the militia. Make them available in the LP store and for the militia only. Make some of the clothing dependent on the faction standing so that it can serve as a sign of rank.
- Give out clothing for every 10m SPs of a character. Players with high SPs can choose from more clothes than players with low SPs. Players who have been with EVE many years shall deserve better clothing than new players. The only accepted vanity in EVE shall be the players' number of skill points.
- Make clothing producible from planet and/or moon materials so that it can interact with the industry side of EVE.
It does not need micro transactions. The more attractive the game becomes as a whole the better it will sell itself. Any time and resource invested into a different sales model will split CCP's forces and not cause an increased profit, but a decrease as CCP's profit becomes vulnerable at two instead of only one front. Further, the two models are not independent from one another and if one fails will both fail. They will not buffer each other, because what matters is not the number of sales but the number of players. Disappoint the players / customers and you lose profit with any sales model. --

So much of EVE is about acquiring power in one form or another and there are many many people who would enjoy showing off that things like custom ship skins (whether player generated or simply "pick a colour" or "with your corp/alliance logo").
Also, in the same theme:
- POS tower logos / outpost logos a la TCUs but biggar. - Custom effects. You know that most of FHC would pay for pink shields or exhausts. Ponies optional. - Ad space on billboards (make them bigger also) for recruiting and general **** talking at rivals.
There's so much stuff that people would lap up but would have no effect on gameplay. It's amazing that CCP have managed to shoot themselves in the foot so unnecessarily.

I like the idea of pretty ammo effects: Rings on the rail gun shots (a la Quake 3) or swarmer missile variants.
How about another 6 pack of Quafe Zero?
I'm not opposed to stuff like the Cerebral Accelerator either. Something for a new character in their first 35 days to boost training a little.

If CCP were to sell these for AUR (but also scatter some throughout loot lists in the galaxy. It might actually become a nice minigame to play. Especially if you just need that one card that you just can't find and is too expensive to find on the market 
I'd buy a starter pack

I don't blame CCP for wanting to make more money either, that's what they are in business for.
However I also don't agree with a game altering move that can and will (IF it is implemented) almost in one stroke, eliminate the efforts of one hell of alot of players who have been here for years, have paid the dues and have paved the way across this trackless space.
You want to put in a NEX? Fine, here is a suggestion for you.
Incarna was developed to give us bodies. (and other things)
Expand on that.
Expan on that ALOT.
Station walk arounds? Great
How about planetary walk arounds. I know personally speaking that is something I have been hoping for since way back when.
Make an entire new set of exploratory adventures based on ground and air elements (within each planets atmosphere).
Make planets explorable on foot, or by vehicle. There's where you can begin selling IN the NEX your items for cash. Leave space alone.
Here are some things that you can sell in the nex for PLANETARY exploration only.
1. Weapons (guns/blade weapons/etc) 2. Atmospheric suits (don't have one, can't go to Endora because the atmosphere will kill you instantly without it) 3. Land vehicles 4. Food (yes food) 5. Clothing suitable for each climate
These are just some suggestions, I'm sure many more can be added. AND you can sell them ALL on the NEX and not affect space and the base game one iota.
These are just my thoughts, I doubt seriously that anyone from CCP will even consider it. But personally I think it would be fun to have this as an option.
oh, I know for a fact that it would bring in MORE customers and you wouldn't lose a great many of your current customers.

Black Market Agent - Complete missions for AUR and reward points (Courier and Combat Missions) Courier missions usually involve transporting illegal goods from A to B Combat missions will either involve stealing from can(anti- electronic warfare)type missions or assassinate ship X type missions Reward Points can then be used to buy stolen/unique Vanity items from a Black Market LP Store

Originally by: Nyphur Edited by: Nyphur on 27/06/2011 00:42:08 Oh oh oh, here's a frigging good one. Sell wall-posters of various ships and such for reasonably small prices. Then sell a custom service that lets you turn a screenshot into a poster and charge a ridiculous amount for it. Even if this has to be done manually by a developer (like alliance logos), it would more than pay for the time it takes to set that up if priced at monocle-level prices.
This is actually a very cool idea. I'd use this more than a few times for sure. ~Gnosis~ |

Edited by: Andrea Griffin on 27/06/2011 20:59:19 A name change. I know that CCP says that name changes aren't technically possible, but then how do people become renamed "AmarrCitizen 123456" when their name is offensive? Name changes are a constantly requested feature. Just keep a history, and notify people who have that character on their contact list when a name change happens. Make it 3,500 Aurum, a full PLEX, and limit name changes to once per character per owner.
I would buy a character or two if I could change the names. The main reason I haven't bought a character is because so many of the names are utterly brain damaged.
Would "featured" corporation recruitment advertisements be considered an in game advantage? As in, when searching for corporations to join using the in-game corporation listing, having one's corporation appear before others if Aurum is paid. Doesn't help you blow people up, manipulate the market, or anything else, and doesn't prevent people from seeing the other corporations. Perhaps 1,000 Aurum per month.
What about advertising on the television in the CQ? This could be for a corporation / alliance, or something like Red Frog. Double cool if you can use your own (approved) image and/or video. Maybe 2,000 - 3,500 Aurum for this, depending.
Increased biography length. This is something that the RP crowd in particular might enjoy. It could even be sold in increments... 250 Aurum for an extra 500 characters. Buy it multiple times for even more bio space. Same for corporations.
I consider awarded corporation medals to be a pretty special thing. It costs money just to make the medal. Make medals extra special by uploading your own medal image at a cost (2,000), and awarding such a medal cost a little extra (250). Images have to be approved of course.
Same with portrait background images. The default backgrounds are cool, but being able to upload your own background could be really awesome. Charge Aurum for a background every time the portrait is updated. Maybe 1,000 for this, maybe 1,500.
Same idea with custom corporation logos.
Extra bonus points if a corporation can buy a custom background for portraits, and only members of that corporation can use it (at no cost - the corporation should buy this). Imagine everyone in Super Deadly Viper Pirates of Death having a coiled, ready-to-strike snake behind their character. Oh, nifty! A full 3,500 Aurum for this.
Skins for ships are cool, but what about customized skins for towers and outposts? Towers should be cheap-ish (1,500), outposts should be more expensive (owned by large alliances, they have the ISK available for larger PLEX->Aurum conversions).
Naming solar systems that your alliance owns would be pretty awesome too. Make it relatively expensive (again, sov holding alliance should have some iskies to splurge), and also allow the system to be referred to by it's "real" name so that it doesn't screw up bookmarks or people who want to link to the system but don't know the "cool" name.
All prices are price points where I would be interested in buying the product. In general, for personal and corporation vanities, the cost shouldn't ever exceed that of a single PLEX. Alliance vanities should be more costly since you have (in theory) more people available to contribute.

Originally by: I Love Boobies Personally, I think it would be cool to see movies streamed over the in game screen, like a video rental service of the newest movies and so on.
Or maybe instead of adding Flash to the browser, figure out a way so it works with the screen in the CQ and allow you to watch like YouTube, play Flash games and so on. Dunno how feasible that would be since they are worried about Flash security vulnerabilities for the browser.
Maybe add a solitaire game you can play while mining away, lol.
A streaming music service, or a service that adds music to your Jukebox.
Product placement wouldn't be so bad if it meant lowering the prices for some clothes. Like a Nike hat, or shoes. They get paid by Nike for putting the stuff in game as a form of advertisement, in turn, making it able to charge less AUR for it.
Just a few thoughts I figured I would throw out there.
Uhh....ok, I'm probably being trolled, but that's one thing I hope to never see: real world items showing up in New Eden. All items have to fit within the lore and aesthetic of Eve. Nuff said. ~Gnosis~ |

Any way to let a CSM member know about this idea for the summit in a few days? So they can lay it onto CCP.
Keeping in mind card games are all about collecting cards, so if players can also gain then from in game actions, like loot drops (Sansha could randomly drop Sansha cards for example :P) then all players will get some exposure to the game over time. Allowing them to buy booster packs or specific cards for AUR could then result in a nice and addicting minigame CCP can work into the multiplayer station game. :P --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/

Sorry if this idea has already been posted, I only scanned the thread...
Perhaps slightly altered ship models? The catch being that you must already own the ship and have it in your hangar to buy/apply it. That way you still have to get the ship from players, or make it yourself, but if you want to change the look of it a little you can.

My main concern with non-vanity additions is the temptation to slowly degrade the game for non-AUR-payers. It would, over time, remove the free expansions principle. Every time CCP developed some change/addition to the game they would have the discussion about if it was a AUR-item/functionality or a "free" thing.
But some of the pure vanity stuff in this thread could be fun. Naming systems/constellations (lets finally get rid of those boring 0.0 names). Paintjobs. Paying for ingame corp/alliance commersials. Why my Corp symbol and Ship name have never been sprayed on the side of my ship? No clue. Lets add them for a few AUR, small amount but payed for each ship.
Why not add the ability to brand buy and sale orders on the market. Maybe Player name/Corp name or a short sales blub, visible in a column in the market screen.
I also like the idea of adding skins to the game. Changes that only I see and that doesn't impact anyone else. I would personally pay some AUR for a Activity based ingame MP3-player. Let it automatically change between styles in my music collection based on I was doing at the moment. I would also pay to put my personal content on in-game screens. I always hated the boring show at the gates. Let me put something there, a slideshow, or a locally stored video that only I see.
And making the EVE Store totally in-game would be great (even if that borderlines RL-output of course).

Originally by: Tusti They should sell -Dev time- The nex could have a list of features players have been asking for, low-sec love, gallante love, faction warfare improvements, Expanded pos options, treaties, iterations on you know....spaceships,sleepers, etc (it would be a long list). They could estimate how much the dev time would cost and set that (or a percentage thereof) as a price, then keep a running tally of all AUR pledged to that project. If it reaches its goal (in say 6 mo) we see it in the next patch, if it doesn't players get their AUR back and its taken out of the store.
Now THAT is a killer idea. Maybe THE "killer app" for AUR. Not sure how it would all work to benefit both sides, but something worth pondering for sure. ~Gnosis~ |

Edited by: Anistazana on 27/06/2011 22:22:43 Thoughts on Incarna, VI, MT, EVE Economics, CQ incentivization. . .
Ok, so I'm cooking some boneless skinless chicken breasts in my kitchen today, and I'm thinking on the Incarna debacle that has been brewing, EVE, and other stuff.
What is EVE? EVE is a game where people gather resources, build ships and fittings, then go blow them up in PvP. This is what drives the game. Someone mines, someone builds, someone blows stuff up. Three different types of players, all supporting one another's play style. A nice ecosystem of herbivores and predators.
BUT. . .
EVE is not CCP. CCP is a company that wants to make money. They got started in the video game business by making a board game and selling it to raise money to create a new game which would make them rich.
Now, I get that Incarna / CQ is, by CCP's lights less about the players than setting up for the future, but there is little incentive for players to use the CQ and even less for them to care about the Space-Sims portion as it sits. Also, I get that CCP needs more money. People currently give CCP money when their EVE experience is worth the ôprice of admission.ö DUST is in some stage of alpha and needs $, ú, or Ç to get it to store shelves next year. I really, really want DUST to succeed, because it will make CCP less reliant on the EVE revenue that is it's sole source of sustenance. I also WAS trying to talk my PS3 thumber buddies into playing DUST. Not so much right now. I really do hope that World of VampireCraft succeeds and all the Twilight Tweens pour gobs of cash into CCP's pockets. I hope, it these things happen, and money can be put back into EVE to finally finish the game.
I did have one thought that occurred to me in mid chicken breast sizzle. Why aren't the players crafting the vanity items? I know others have thought on and about the following proposal. Why is CCP selling the vanity items ô whole clothö directly to the players? Isn't it just a little more work for CCP have the vanity items follow the usual formula?
(material + BPO/BPC= x items)
So I'm thinking there could be an incentive to get people, some people, into the CQ. Why not make one or a couple of manufacturing slots which are only accessible in the CQ and ONLY for vanity items? It could go a couple of ways. Either the manufacturing costs would cost the player Aurum, the BPC's could cost Aurum, as the items currently do, or some mixture of both. You could get people to use and buy from the NeX, to utilize the CQ who wouldnÆt ordinarily do either. Broader appeal. You could make some the BPC's very limited in number in the EVE universe. When they sell out you have to wait till the next fashion season's release. This drives the desirability up for the Space Sims types. I get that there needs to be an PLEX sink in game. Once the money is given to CCP from the PLEX, that PLEX now becomes a liability to CCP, as it will provide 30 days of game play at some future point, yet the money has already been spent by CCP. As counter intuitive as it seems, I think lower VI prices in terms of real world dollars, will equal more Aurum created from PLEX.
It's KFC principle of marketing in that, as Colonel Sanders said, " Feed the poor and get rich or feed the rich and get poor.ö
Edit:
Quote: IDEA #2 - THE INCARNA-BOUND (DIGITAL) "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game"
$ony did this in EQ1 and EQ21 AND made the CCG game playable as stand alone outside the two games. . not sure how well that worked for them. Still, it would be interesting and I, for one would be interested in a "game within a game".

IDEA #2 - THE INCARNA-BOUND (DIGITAL) "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game"
This one is much easier to explain. For those of you that don't know, "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game" is an actual trading cards game that CCP has published at some time in the past in the real world. As far as I know, production has been discontinued thanks to relatively low interest, since you're not likely to be too close (geographically speaking) with too many other EVE players that are also CCG enthusiasts.
This is the proverbial "shooting down two birds with one stone" deal. They already have the IP (graphics, rulesets, backgrounds, etc) and they can create a place where the concentration of interested players can reach critical mass - inside Incarna.
Simply translate the CCG into digital form (there actually is a similar RP precedent - "Mindclash") and you're golden. Just sell the cards, booster packs or whatever it is CCGs are supposed to sell in real life, but sell them for AUR inside Incarna.
Heck, you can also implement "Mindclash" itself while you're at it (later). Sure, it will be a truckload of work, but... why not ?
Thats one of the best ideas I've seen on EvE-O Forums in quite some time.

also +1 for Mindclash aswell -----------------

But on a slightly serious note: most of the protest has been about 'Golden Ammo'. But what if they actually did? Something along the lines of Faction Ammo. Slightly better damage factor ( because you ARE paying real money for it ). And before everyone goes ballistic - most ammo doesn't stick around. It gets used. It's a consumable after all, so it's certainly going to get used up.
As long as it's not a complete faceroll/I WINZ item, but something maybe slightly better than Faction ammo: is that really so terri-bad? I can even see not having a basic t1 flavor of ammo as a turn-in. After all: how many 100 stacks of ammo drop out of wrecks as loot? Those materialize out of thin air, so having NeX ammo 'materialize' probably isn't going to break the Eve economy any more than it already is.
I've been thinking about things like this too. Would it be so bad to offer items that give a VERY slight advantage over regular items, but that are priced at a premium, and the benefit given doesn't last forever (say, such as ammo...or a can of Quafe Zero). ~Gnosis~ |

Make a booster that requires an in game narcotic, perhaps a bpc as well and some resource such as gas, or other commodities much like the current booster production. You buy the bpc with aurum and need to first react then cook everything in low or null sec. What could it possibly be for? lot's of benign annoyances for players, make a booster that drops your clone jump time by a fraction of time but can only be used so much in X amount of time, you can even add a caveat that abuse of this substance could result in the risk of losing an implant on your next jump.
Make a booster that makes your warp velocity faster (godsend for freighters and long trips) Make one to enhance the effectiveness of archaeology and hacking. Always make the end product part of the in game economy not just be created from thin air. you could do quite a few benign things.

^^Would totally buy this^^
While I oppose "I win" buttons and buying skill points, I would be cool with being able to trade plex/aur/whatever for a remap. Even with a remap you still have to actually train the skills.
Another idea: I don't know if it would even be possible, but why not let us trade in plex/aur for RL merch from the Eve store? I would be willing to use ISK to buy plex to pay for an EON subscription and a Guristas hoodie. You would have to exempt using plex to buy ETC from the store, though.
Just a thought,

Or even walk like Igor. -Premium ammo/mods/drones that aren't any better but are basically like epeen mods. Stats would be identical, and it'd have to be a trade-in system, or bpc system. -Use AUR to buy stuff in the EvE-online store? I think that would probably go to a lot of use, TBH. -battle recorder functionality sounded cool -Bid to change system descriptions? -Pay to remove the PI "can't do that for 7 seconds" BS messages. -Pay to allow dscan spam? -Pay to have menacing music play when you arrive on grid to anyone that "looks at" your ship? -Pay to have your ship show up with a gold box around it in the targeting list when someone targets you -Pay to add a gold star to the center of your ship icon on overview? (just trying to think of ways people would pay for epeen length. I mean, people pay for BS weapon and class skins in BFBC2, so....) -Pay to allow 4+ names (under character limit, of course) -Increased character limit on ship name -Shuttle BPCs (bunches of new types)
Not sure how much of an advantage can be gained from these: -Pay to biomass a toon faster -Pay for more toons on an account

1. Race change 2. Bloodline change 3. Sex Change
As above doesn't matter to the game mechanics at this point anyway.
4. Total resculpting of the body (inability to alter breast size, but change tattoos? someone needs an update on whats already available in RL in regards to "cosmetic" changes.)
5. Name change (1: include it in char-transfer process) 6. Employment history wipe included in the above (You basically get a new life for your char, make it available only once/twice a year, like remaps are and costly).
Hard to come up with anything useful and not-giving advantage at the same time, because "useful" in eve online is defined by giving you an advantage.

I'd be cool with custom paint jobs for ships, because I have already seen how this could add to gameplay: I've heard, a corp is forming who will especially go after paint jobs and monocles. Meaning, you can send in a couple of paint jobs, and then come with the entire unpainted brunt, and you have good pew-pew. Also, it would figure within the lore that some pilots would paint their ships as a sort of assertation of "Here I come".
Also, what about custom ships, which fit into the gameplay. Today, you can buy a Minmatar Slasher, for which you pay this amount of ISK, you will need these types and levels of skills, and the Frigate will have these slots and this CPU power. Howver, tomorrow, you can buy a Minmatar Flowerpower Booze Cruise Slasher Thing, where you need the same skills and levels, and have the same stats and slots as on the normal Slasher. And you pay enormous AUR for it, and have your corp mates come over and party in it, while you wait for your assembly job to finish ;D
Re-sculpting for AUR. I -bet- this may sell. It would sell to me tbh.
In general, vanity as a part of gameplay is not such a stupid idea. I like the idea, if someone paid serious AUR they can have a nullsec renamed. Ultimative vanity, and it has some bearings from old times, when conquerors named cities after them. Also it does not ruin it for those, who just want the spaceship thing going for them.
I also like the poster printing option :)

- CONCORD billboard / captain's quarter's advertisements for AUR, subject to GM approval
- Computer upgrade discounts. Spend X AUR, get Y amount off your next purchase at Z computer-related site, such as newegg or whatever.
Ooh I like this one. Buy the monocle and not only does it show up on your avatar, you get a real one sent to you.
yes, YES, yes :D
But in general CCP must know that their playerbase recruits from a world, where there is an increasing difference in the financial means. Meaning, no, people may not be able to buy that Alienware computer and cannot have more than one credit-card paid for account. Therefore, there must be an option to not load the Captain Quarters environment at all on the computer hardware, not just the door thing. And then there will be the winners of this economic crisis, who are totally buying custom paint jobs, monocles and other such things, because they can and they want to. It would be a bad thing to just concentrate on those with money, because they are in general a fickle bunch.

Lots of neat features and ideas here, but I just don't see any reason to provide those by AUR instead of ISK. The AUR is a fail from the start. This new currency has no justification in game except helping CCP to trim down the PLEX stocks. The NEX store doesn't have justification either, EVE already has a market and an LP store.
Step back, think about it. EVE has a lot of issues to be dealt with, but the lack of a new currency and a virtual store to use it in was not one of them.

IDEA #1 - THE HOLOGRAPHIC COMBAT RECORDER
Shouldn't have to pay for that because TBH it should already be in the game. Aces High a WW2 combat sim I used to play had a built in recorder that worked pretty damn good.
It essentially recorded game data to a flat file as there was no reason to actually record video being you have all the models/textures ect built into your client. This allowed you to record hundreds of hours of game play using very little hard drive space.
When you were ready to watch what you recorded you used a viewer that would play back the game data recorded using the in game models ect and it looked just as if you were in the game. The awesome thing was you could then view from several camera angles and actually build movies using it that could then be exported to AVI. --------------------------- Fratricide - a contest of betrayal |

Edited by: Nukleanis on 28/06/2011 11:07:35 1) You could buy image frames to display in CQ which are then filled by content from a user's machine. Either screenshots, quafe posters or the obligatory images of naked people.
2) Currently we have holographic representations of our ships in CQ that we use for fitting, etc... Re-skin them in a gold texture and you have a small ship statuette you could hang from the ceiling, mount on the wall, put on the table or, if you want to spend a little more AUR, make it absolutely massive and put one next to the bed. Admittedly I'm against MT as a whole, but even I would reach for my wallet if I could hang a massive gold Arbitrator from the ceiling at a reasonable right price.
3) Existing models could also be used for other items that players would like to see in 3D such as faction logos, corp logos, miniature stations, even the mannequin from previewing vanity items standing in the corner looking creepy.
4) Corp logos used as textures for bedding, sofa cushions, posters, door buttons even silhouettes for spotlights to project the logo onto surfaces or for computer consoles, rugs, or basically anything you'd find in your own home. Could be sold as interior decoration schemes.
5) Corp logos or faction logos as brooches or pins to decorate clothing.

The SecWars game from the Incarna bar trailer (when it was still Ambulation/WiS).
I would buy it.
Actually a lot of the Incarna things planned for the future could work well either entirely as NeX items, or upgradable using NeX. (e.g. Shops/Shop clerks, Bartenders, Fedo-powered mounts...)
It could even be reasonable to open up the future Incarna content (stations, shops, etc.) to people without subs, or former subscriptions (one time PLEX purchase?). It would draw in more people (and vets who might want to chat with old corpmates) without those people negatively affecting the gameplay in space - in the same way DUST514 will interact with the planets without affecting gameplay in space.
In other words, NeX could be entirely limited to Incarna-related content, but still provide the extra income for CCP to support more development in EVE, DUST and WoD.
Or it could be a terrible idea thought up in a 4am insomnia-induced haze.

Just a couple of thoughts about how to keep some of the ideas CCP threw around within the dynamic of Eve.
One has already been suggested,several times. BPC's, instead of 'poofing' into existence a new Scorpion skin it would be a bpc that you would have to use to turn a Scorpion hull into the new design. ad infinitum for any ship skin. So you take your ship, your BPC, your tritanium/pyerite /mexallon /nocxium / to a paint shop and a few hours later you got your shiney new hotrod.
They thought about selling standings? No way, stupid. However, they could make available black ops agents for each race depending on who it is you want to improve your standings with. You would buy a means to contact this agent who would then allow you safe passage whilst working for him/her, like a key card to open certain gates. This could bring new missions to the game which are specific to black ops agents as with the Cosmos missions, they could involve courier missions, rescue missions or diplomacy missions. They could even have extra black ops specific items in the same way as the cosmos missions, but the main aim would be to build your standings back up through working 'undercover' for whoever you've offended in the past. This would also give a 'tangible' item that would make it's way into the market place - for example, Amarr Black Ops Contact Card.

IDEA #2 - THE INCARNA-BOUND (DIGITAL) "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game"
This one is much easier to explain. For those of you that don't know, "Eve: The Second Genesis Collectible Card Game" is an actual trading cards game that CCP has published at some time in the past in the real world. As far as I know, production has been discontinued thanks to relatively low interest, since you're not likely to be too close (geographically speaking) with too many other EVE players that are also CCG enthusiasts.
This is the proverbial "shooting down two birds with one stone" deal. They already have the IP (graphics, rulesets, backgrounds, etc) and they can create a place where the concentration of interested players can reach critical mass - inside Incarna.
Simply translate the CCG into digital form (there actually is a similar RP precedent - "Mindclash") and you're golden. Just sell the cards, booster packs or whatever it is CCGs are supposed to sell in real life, but sell them for AUR inside Incarna.
Heck, you can also implement "Mindclash" itself while you're at it (later). Sure, it will be a truckload of work, but... why not ?
I remember that day at Dragon*Con 2006 when they were selling these at the EVE booth. They even offered tutorials on how to play, etc. And there were already quite a few players (including myself) around the area.
I like this idea, Akita T, however, I don't know if I can fully support it since I've spent so much money on just collecting the EVE: The Second Genesis CCG cards. I think I only lack 4-5 cards from the whole set plus expansions. --------- Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. |

Aurum for poker tables and whatever that game was they showed on Eve fanfest video. Make it so players can charge for others to use the tables or even just for entering their bar (so they indirectly charge for tables so people can't say "oh they gain isk advantage by charging at the table"). Jukeboxes, strippers, etc etc for Aurum.
Aurum for ship skins is a good one (like the ishkone scorp).

Do the cards have any serial numbers on them or any other unique identifiers ? They could bank quite a bit of goodwill if you could enter the codes and get a digital copy of the physical ones you own... _

STARGATES
Just as alliances build outposts, let them build stargates for AUR. Perhaps to w-space, perhaps to ad-hoc, newly randomized systems (make it take a week so CCP can tweak the new system), perhaps even to known space. Stargates.
Alliances start them in a system without really knowing where they will lead when finished, but controlled in a statistical way.
Make them destroyable before they are finished, and make them show up big on the maps. Stargates.
I'm telling you, stargates.

Yeah its kinda hard to come up with useful/fun/desirable stuff that doesn't also offer a gameplay advantage. Assuming a really strict interpretation...
-titles. Add a prefix or suffix to your name in such a way that its still clear what the pilot's name is. May or may not come with different coloured text for local chatter. -unlocking skill training on more than one character per account, priced in such a way that its cheaper than buying a 2nd account outright. -random fun tradeable items like Janitors, Exotic Dancers etc. Priced incredibly cheaply -a temporary or permanent reduction in the clone jump timer. Has some very minor gameplay advantages though. -ship reskinning. Already planned, but could be accelerated considerably. -more decorative objects for the captain's quarters. No extra functionality to make them easier to code. -rentable billboards that work like the corp advert cans but can't be removed by other players till they expire -"fun" modules like the snowball launcher. Rainbow laserbeams, fireworks rockets. Basically anything that looks shiny but has no actual effects. Perfect for staging mass protests in trade hubs.

I'd give $1,000 if it meant
(a) players could filter out the forums.
(b) players could view the outside of the station from the inside.
(c) players could open ANY shop/outlet/bar/erotic dancing/tailors/hairdressers/gun polishing place/casino and charge ISK for it.
(d) players could get access to areas of a station based on skill points/age (without transference of character) like the executive lounge on the 8th floor of the Hilton Reykjavik Nordica, that's sticks out like a sore thumb and is externally visible to everyone.
(e) players could see their global rankings for every single aspect of the game, from who's mined the most to who's killed the most. With weekly/monthly/quarterly/annually issued totals. (it helps the economy, and it breeds contempt, which helps the economy...cyclical, you might say and encourages pirates who might have been slacking or smacking a lil' too much)
(f) players could eavesdrop in on conversations and listen to what people are scheming.
(g) players could genuinely stab someone in the back IF a contract existed AND there was a bounty on that someone's head.
(h) players could completely redesign everything from the wallpaper, to the position of the lampshade in their quarters, and for any items to be harvested/manufactured/sold for ISK by other players that could be ornaments.
(i) players could have their own private viewing storage facility for all of their corpses in a frozen cylindrical tube, with a silver plaque on each one and a 'lil italicised note from the kill-mail. Could be good to look someone in the dead-eyes once in a while.
(j) players could visit a telescope on station and stare at the stars in super-duper-technicolor-vision.
(k) players could hire bodyguards who would serve absolutely no purpose, but would make the 'owner' look bad-ass, they could even be sexy-ninja-esque-scant-idly-clad-females with looks and bodies to die for, who would look menacingly at anyone who passes them and reach into their pockets, readying a weapon. Y'know, 'like in the back-stories we read.
(l) players could kick people in the head and leave a bruise that would stay for a least a week, so they wouldn't want to be seen in public - minor point, but I like it the psychology/bullying behind it - because no matter how tough you are, everyone bruises.
(m) players could witness in-station scripted events by AURORA involving concord, guns, shouting and general testosterone stuff that instead of reading about, we see the stuff actually happen. IMMERSION! and something that perhaps volunteers would actually enjoy doing for once?
(n) players could whistle for zero-G taxis to other parts of the station, because legs are wasted on a demi-god.
(o) players could use a remote control and activate the ship-alarm, complete with a visible 'BLEEP-BLEEP' and flashing lights on the ship whilst at the hanger walk-way.
(p) players could see how many space-miles a ship has done and where it has been...could be good to track and hunt down players who have accumulated a lot of distance. Again, it's the psychology of losing a ship that has meaning and significance.
(q) players could float around in zero-g on station in some sections to compete in zero-g sports, again at the expense of the person who setup the game or owns the facility on-station...I don't know about anyone else, but when I was young we used to invent games at the drop of a hat...to be able to do that in zero-g is enticing.
Seriously. Money waiting for any of the above.

I do not care for the cq, seriously i walk around ina little cubicle yeah, and screw dust, thats just going to make soverienty even harder to do well we took the system now we have to battle it on the land. these ideas are taking eve in a direction I dont think people want to go.
the only think I think that would be worth paying for and something they would make a mint on would be for $1 you could add your aliance or corps, emblem to a ship. and when that ship gets destroyed you have to buy the emblem again.

Of course only until CCP gets their finances managed. And it should be so balanced that it¦s no Win-button, but the glimpse of a chance. The items themselves should be really cheap on the market.

Pledge system for desired features:
CSM and CCP produce a short list of features (during the csm meetings?) that would not other wise be implemented and cost's them in AUR.
Players can then pledge AUR, when the predetermined level is met CCP commit to implementing it (the time scale for which will be outlined in the features information).
If the features times out (doesn't meet its estimated cost) pledged AUR is returned to the players.
This allows players to contribute their money to functionality they actually want. Sense of ownership anyone? This should be fairly straightforward to implement (pledge tokens possibly? - maybe even a small vanity item, 'I wanted T3 frigates but all I got was this lousy t-shirt' shirt?)

How exactly did you manage to miss reading the TITLE of the thread you're replying to ? I am referring specifically to the "NON-advantage" part. There are quite a few ideas in here already that fit that description (granted, a few break it, but still), so how exactly can you imply there aren't enough possibilities ? _

I got three: Blueprint Customization Kit: Let people transfer the slots on the BP between the three powers, transfer the highs between guns and launchers, and transfer space between cargo and drone bays, as well as taking from CPU and adding to Power, or vice versa. Of course the laws of transmogrification apply, you can only change what's already there.
Sec Status Reset: reset the user's sec status back to 0, for those that are forced out of 00, and have to come back to empire. I'd limit the number allowed to 1 per character per month, to help prevent the station bombings.
Faction Sec Reset: Same as Sec Status Reset, but with the 4 empires. Sell in gallente, caldari, minmatar, and amarr.

Faction Sec Reset: Same as Sec Status Reset, but with the 4 empires. Sell in gallente, caldari, minmatar, and amarr.
Oh, no way any of those (particularly the first one...WTF?) wouldn't be COMPLETELY game-breaking or anything....

In the future be able to export models to be used in a program I can make movies or shorts similar to Clear Skies here we go again! |

a deploy-alble camera to be used for movie making or for spying on an area... Not real time that would be an advantage.
Missile Camera
Pets: Fedo or Slave hound - I can take with me in my ship
ability to make a unique item with its own unique id so I can used it as a flag for when I use bots in my "Bail Bonds and Missions" Store front
ability to make a location book mark - that produces a unique item that can compare with my Store Front bot so I can prove a person was at a location for a certain time or length of time.
slot machine to gamble aurum
Allow low end clothing BPCs to be available - only in certain station to allow people to make, move and market a clothing line. allowing them to add design features to the clothing for a little extra aurum. Like buttons, trim, stensel, accent colors or shading, emblems. When dust come out I would like to be asking Dust players to pick up certain things from planet that can be used with in fashion.
I remember in the old Dungeons and dragons on line you would put several components in the Magic box creator and it would produce a random item. I think something similar with clothing could be done. Collect some random components, a little Aurum to pay the laborers, and produce a random formulated item. After a while some formulas once discovered would be retailed often but there would be others that would become unique. Not sure how the TTP would take effect and how it could break the realism of Incarna.
here we go again! |

Give me a Robot side kick that will be programed for different themes. - Boosting your Ego - Pestimistic like the robot on Hich Hikers guide to the Galaxy - Political Bot - for one of the Major races spouting off Political pro-aganda verbally - Amarr would be biggest seller - Training bot for a profression that would spirt out helpful hints from a chosen occupations - Robot that runs around the floor cleaning stuff off the floor.
Give me Items that make my space enjoyable -Plants. - Allow me to purchase a style of living in captain quarters. Ie all my captain quarters are a mess, half eaten space pizza, Edible Delights spilled on counter, Empty Quafe cans around underwear strun about. Just so my toon can live the life of a slob. - or a room that is to dark, light, too pink. - Allow me to buy Posters. - allow certain theme track to be played in my room -allow certain style of play on the Main TV screen Ie I am a bounty hunter and I subcrib to the bounty hunter Channel - allow eve gate to show up on big tv screen or my mail. here we go again! |

One thing they could charge for would be InterBus transport. Charge per jump multiplied by m¦, delivery within 30m per jump. (60 jumps == 32 hours)
Would help people living far away from empire, and allow eve to grow greatly.
But should be to expensive to use for mass hauling of stuff, eg you can get the fittings hauled but you should build the ship on site. ---

So, now that we have CCP's assurances that flat-out "game advantage" items will NOT be making it into EVE in the foreseeable future, feel free to drop even more ideas in here. _

clothing packs from all races for a small AUR charge. At present items like Sunglasses, are available to Minmatarr but no Amarr.
So a cheap unlock to allow recustomisation of your Toon for wearing non-race specific clothing in Character Creator.
or you could just open it up for free :D

Couple have beat me to it..
I'd pay for engine trails to be back, I miss my first time playing EVE seeing the huge trail behind my Rifter leaving warp. :(
Others can see it, which gives a "value" to it without any performance benefit.

Originally by: Tusti They should sell -Dev time- The nex could have a list of features players have been asking for, low-sec love, gallante love, faction warfare improvements, Expanded pos options, treaties, iterations on you know....spaceships,sleepers, etc (it would be a long list). They could estimate how much the dev time would cost and set that (or a percentage thereof) as a price, then keep a running tally of all AUR pledged to that project. If it reaches its goal (in say 6 mo) we see it in the next patch, if it doesn't players get their AUR back and its taken out of the store.
/signed
AUR for dev time would be awesome. CCP gets player approval, better economics, and possibly more funding. Attach this to the 'priority' list for Team BFF and we have a team whose purpose is to iterate working on what the players vote (with their AUR) to iterate on first. This doesn't need to take over an entire patch, but definitely should be considered for the portion of development dedicated to iteration.
Not sure how I feel about the refund clause though.

Yes, kill off the CQ and make the AUR items ship related...
Not sure how many ppl agree, but I hate the CQ, and now i can't even play on my spare pc cause of shader 3.0....

Concierge Item: Premium Hangar Access
Reduce standard hangar capacity to 400 stacks / 1 million m3. Add some levels of "premium hangar access" which will allow a pilot to purchase what is effectively a private "corporate hangar". Each "premium hangar" level will provide differing quantities of stacks/m3.
Allow automatic renewal by having the premium hangar "licence" operate as per POS charters. Keep a stack of premium hangar licences in that hangar so the subscription system can automatically renew the hangar access.

Non-Vanity
- Sound clips playing from your ship/gang/fleet when you engage an enemy, that will be heard by the other players near you (Wagner, Ride of the Valkyries).
THIS, or at elast, if you hold SOV, you can have a system-wide jukebox that over-rides the music layers of everyone in system, so you can play whatever you want (within reason of course). though i know this will never happen, considering copyrights and whatnot, heck, cant even post music on youtube anymore these days.

Anything that is not a vanity item will always have some impact on gameplay - it's just the nature of Eve.
I'd like to see HYPER-customizeable CQ. Customizable to the point where I draw up a floor-plan in game, and the game builds a 3D model of my CQ. After that, I should be able to populate it with any combination of thousands of CQ items - chairs, holographic screens, lamps, trophy cases, and the like.
Then I'd like to buy a Multifrequency XL crystal and use it as a giant disco ball.  ----- Combat in Warp - The Proposal |
