I am disappointed by the number of mentally disabled, NeX-hating, knee-jerk derps in this thread.

no, they shouldn't - they're a core part of the game

they also don't affect gameplay. just because something doesn't affect gameplay doesn't mean it should be in NeX, but something in NeX that doesn't affect gameplay is fine.


now if only they sold Logic implants in the nex, i would recommend you buy one - because your wetware sucks at it.

Hello there, DarkAegix, perhaps you could restate your point while making sense. Or explain why the only alternative to the skins being sold in the NeX is some hilariously complex manual addon that would have to be copied and pasted to various folders.

Perhaps there could be some kind of store which is separate from the market....
Perhaps in this amazing store we can trade-in ships for skinned versions....
Perhaps we already have this framework. The NeX store.

Rumour thread.

Stuff.

Okay I'll bite Mr Troll ......

Ship skins like other items in the game should be player produced. I find the NEX Store appologists like yourself extremely short sighted as to what is good for the game moving forward. Your attitude is, this doesn't affect my little piece of EVE so who gives a **** right.

CCP have chosen to belittle and marginalise any potential the items they have put in the NEX Store could have had on actual gameplay content. CCP looked to F2P games and what they were doing in their themeparks with microtransactions. At the same time conveniently ignoring that fact that EVE is a sandbox with Sub/PLEX already, but instead wanted to add what are now feature removing microtransactions on top of that rather than expanding gameplay content.

The items in the NEX could have still achieved what CCP wanted and also added gameplay benefits to the players, but instead the $500 sparkle tiger riding people and their ilk in CCP thought otherwise.

Yes CCP came very close to shitting on all the players that produced Scorpions with the Ishukone one being slated to be in the NEX Store just to see what happened. Thankfully they stopped only because someone spied it on the test server and made a forum post about it, otherwise CCP would have merrily gone ahead with it.

You raise some good points, but I believe CCP have already said (during the AT9 finals) that the ship skins would require AUR and the Ship as a trade in, so for a Roden Mega, it'd be a Mega + 500 aur or something

So it doesn't by-pass the market

It bypasses the ability of the players to craft the skins. Same as the clothing.

I actually don't care, as long as the default skins aren't stupid space camo for the bloody Comet!


As long as the default skin is not painful, I wouldn't mind having the new skins be Nex items. Heck they might as well use it for something since our characters won't be getting much usage.

I think I see the shape of CCP's new business plan: make the default skins so hideous that you have to spend cash in the microtransaction superstore to get rid of them.

About the Nebula's should be NeX if ship skins are. Use your freaking head lad! Nebula's effect everyone, that's like saying you should be able to make Dodixie II a plasma planet with NeX. When NeX and ship skins is obviously a very personal change affecting only yourself.

I never said "nebulas should be in nex" Dont make **** up. Im just asking where do you draw the line about new gameplay contet being bought in nex store. I pay for my sub and i kinda take for granted that new game contet is what i keep paying eve online for, but maybe Im just fooling myself. And i really dont care about "core gameplay" "vanity" or whatever, pixels be pixels.

Hilmar said Nex is on the backburner (fact).

What about nebulae sold by nex? And new ship models, and engine trails.
Vanity stuff, isn't it?

Of course its going to be in the NeX store. They might be reasonably priced.
