The fault in Somer is playing along with the handouts and trying to help keep them secret. That's a different (business) problem entirely. The OP did : :) No. Regarding fault, I don't think SOMER staff were wrong in taking what they were entitled to when it was offered by CCP. Nor would they be at fault for keeping something secret upon CCP's request.
The fault lies with CCP. |

Quote:An EVE Online spokesman responds that GÇ£The Ishukone Scorpion was created for exactly this sort of purpose GÇö a promo ship for giveaways and special occasions to be used on multiple levels. It has been given out several times already (including some very analogous to this one) and will be given out again in the future for contests, awards, charity-related efforts, GÇÿthanksGÇÖ and more.GÇ¥
Additionally, despite this spacecraftGÇÖs unique skin, it is GÇ£actually worse gameplay-wise than the regular Scorpion and refines to only one Tritanium GÇö so it is little more than a hangar ornament.GÇ¥ The reason itGÇÖs in-game price is so high because of the craftGÇÖs current rarity. GÇ£Yet as more are introduced I am pretty sure the market price will lower based on total supply, as we see after the first few days any ship has been added to EVE.GÇ¥
Community concerns over the use of the ship as a thank-you have been GÇ£carefully noted,GÇ¥ and the game is GÇ£looking into creating a fuller program for those celebrating the amazing EVE community.GÇ¥

And CCP Manifest spoke to TMC:
Quote:We did end up giving Ishukone Ships away to SOMER's people as a "thanks" (as per the email) in a similar manner to our previous issuances of the ship. It's always been meant to be a promo item--for awards, rewards, charity-based efforts, promo items and more. The IshScorp was never meant to be limited at all or "capped" at a certain number--hence why it only refines for 1 Trit and is worse gameplay-wise than the normal Scorpion. There will be more given out in the future by the comm team and others (I will likely give out some some via social and through PR) and I am sure the price will go down--kinda like the pirate noobie frigs we gave out at events.
