You guys are taking this way too far. Nothing in Eve lasts forever. Sure the rewards are nice but these get blown up. It's not like they are handing out BPO's which can stay safe in a station somewhere. Got a fully fitted battleship? It can blow up just like every other one out there. Take that with you into a PVP enviroment and see how long that lasts when you got a dozen people unloading at you. Would be a shame to lose it. Something like this would probably just remain a novelty item to the person that recieves it.
Jeeze people calm down. What is a single battleship in the entire scope of eve? Absolutely nothing.

Learn to breathe, relax. How is this going to affect you directly. Even indirectly? To a single person it's a huge gift and shows appreciation towards CCP. CCP is one of the few companies that gives a damn about the players. They do little things to show appreciation and you guys start to raise a fuss? Maybe they are better off treating us like all of the other MMORPG companies out there that could care less if your going to throw this in thier face.

And so the guy who can afford to make 50 alt accounts deserves a free faction BS worth 5 billion?
There is no hard price on that item. Again it's worth that much because it's a novelty item. How long do you think that would last in a target rich pvp enviroment? I'm betting your pretty knowledgable into PVP. You tell me how long a battleship will last when it's scrambled against a gang or two of opponents in deep space.
It's 5 bil because someone has too much money with nothing else better to buy.

Its value is based on rarity, actually. The demand for daction modules and ships is always higher than the supply. By putting a free one into the game every month full of faction mods, they reduce the value of the ships and modules that people have either been lucky enough to find or have worked hard to get. Would you complain if they gave your war enemy a free titan for not good reason? You bet you would. And if you wouldn't, you're altogether too passive to see Dark Shikari's side of the argument however it's worded and debating with you on the matter is pointless.
The fact remains, it's worth 5 bil and they're handing that to someone for having more friends or money. The game strives toward risk versus reward, giving someone a substantial reward for absolutely no risk is no better than if the devs injected a few billion ISK into their own play accounts. It's not fair precisely because other people have to work ahrd for it and they're devaluing their hard work.
A well thought out and mature reply. My thanks. Sounds sensible enough.

Do people actually do that sort of thing though? I mean it sounds easy but you gotta enter in your registration information and even a credit card number right? Even still if you went through the trouble of doing it 3 times your still up against thousands of other people.. sounds like a waste of time to me.
If people really do this then well wow, that's just dumb. I mean I can think of 1000's of other things I can be doing.

Could you guys take it easy on the Dev's? I mean sometimes it seems like some of you are directly attacking him personally whereas his main forte is DEVelping a game and not marketing it. I'm sure that he's just putting in his two cents and trying to clear things up.
Ease up before we have 1 less Dev working on Eve okay? *begs*
