I want to reiterate that this is just an initial pilot program and that if we see evidence that ship customization is desired by our players we will continue to expand and improve it.
Will this interest be gauged solely by how many are purchased?
If so, i see a flaw, or three.
This cannot be used on currently rigged ships, unless one destroys their current rigs (could be rather costly). This means that there are likely many who will pass on these for the simple reason they infact can't use it on their currently rigged ship.
There seems to also be a very limited number of options, based on what is on SiSi. Literally only the ships pictured in the dev blog. What if someone doesn't like those particular hulls...or wanted a different scheme on one of them. They really are INTERESTED, but according to the data you are logging, are infact 'not interested' since they did not purchase what you offered.
Also, this is like trying to gauge the market interest of various colored balls, while only offering RED balls. What if someone doesn't like red, what if they like yellow, or green? |

Anyone do up the numbers on what these things cost after today's blitz on AUR tokens? (for those that don't want/can't buy a full PLEX to convert to buy single skin) |

Can you please PLEASE take this stuff away from NEX store and put it in LP stores.
If you (CCP) are counting the NeX store items as a success, i'd like to see the metrics i know you have available related to these new ship skins.
1. Pretty much the only option was to buy them from the NeX store. Not exactly a good measure of how well NeX store is good for seeding items as opposed to LP Stores. (granted, the ONLY LP Store item was the amazing COMET!)
2. How many of these skins were bought from the NeX store by the players who's sole interest was to resell them for profit, being a new/fresh item. How many of them have actually sold, compared to how many were bought from Nex?
3. How many of the NeX Store items have actually been applied, comparing that to the number that have been initially purchased?
As alot of ppl are repeating, why have micro-transactions in a pay-for game? What does our subscription money go toward if not for the development of content? (i think ship skins may count as game content)
Oh thats right, our subscription $ goes towards floating a model rifter and pod up to the higher-lower atmosphere (not "space" was claimed) since that really helps the code monkeys develop new in-game content or fix bugs...yeeup. |
