In our continued effort to bring you visual upgrades and convenience services of the virtual kind, the NEX Store has been replaced with the much upgraded New Eden Store coming on June 3rd as part of the Kronos release.
To tell you about all the latest trends in space retail, here's CCP Xhagen with a new dev blog.

PLEASE. More faction-branded outfits! Like, Ishukone women's dress shirts?
Or beat-up leather jackets with Guristas tags?
Or that catsuit?

So ... CCP learned something from Dust and is bringing it back to EVE ... how to better handle Aurum and micro-transactions.

This is how AUR should have been handled in the past.
Reasonable prices for things. I like that they always only ever had it for vanity items.
Maybe they will do things like license plates, and allow custom items, if they get sufficient pre-orders. (I'm sure Goonies would love their bees all over their pilot's ships) |

I glad you are expanding it. The only odd thing to be is combining the Aurum from all my pilots. Why should a bunch of pilots, some of whom may not have ever seen each other or interacted with each other, share wealth?

The new store is amazing. And I especially like the new clothes you put in it :D
Three things though:
1- Could we see more boots for womens?
2- Could we have a 3D preview for clothes, instead of a frozen image with no way at all to look at the cloth in 3D in the new eden store ?
3- The prices are TOO DAMN HIGH FOR DESTRUCTIBLE STUFF (ship skins). 
I bet the use of skinned ship is very low even though people still have their free AUR in stock. Imagine when they won't have their free AUR anymore...

I and several others have been unable to access the New Eden store from Sisi. We continuously receive "Store Unavailable" messages.
What preparations are being made to handle the many petitions that will be created tomorrow when this hits TQ?

1 Can you still Convert AUR into PLEX?
2 Is it still 3500AUR/PLEX?
3 What happened to the new Cruiser and Frigate skins, are they still coming?

Prices are too high.
The Baseline for value should be 1 PLEX - or equivalent of ~3000 AURUM.
PLEX can give you 1 month of play time, that is 30 days times 24h of game play. It's a huge value for 1 PLEX.
AURUM gives you some Vanity items that are indestructible, and hence should roam around the value of PLEX and never exceed it on a per item basis unless that item is so awesome it deserves it but never ever exceed the value of 2 PLEX 6000 AURUM.
Destructible cosmetic ship items, give you a temporary/vanishing vanity item. By its definition its a consumable a limited duration item of vanity , as such is value lies in quantity not quality hence it has to have a value way under indestructible vanity items.
As such in my opinion no destructible vanity item should ever pass a threshold of 1/6 of a PLEX in value no matter the type of item.
So any destructible item should be valued under 500 AURUM, imo even 500 AURUM is too much, i'd go with a round value of 1$ per max item cost., that brings it to 200 AURUM maximum per DESTRUCTIBLE item maximum cost.
Just my 1$.
The idea is indestructible items will be traded and should be expensive and rare. Destructible items you want to get destroyed and encourage consumption people get dumb when they handle small amounts of money. Take a lesson from Valve.
One person is much more prone to spend 10$ on 10 items then he is on spending 10$ on 1 item. Expensive items lead to care and collection not wide spread consumption.
One is more willing to kill 1$ per day every day spending 30$ a month then he is to spend once a month 10$ on one item.
In the end you will make more cash by consuming large amounts of cheap stuff then you will ever get by trying to move high value items.

1. We have several more items ready to push out. I'll poke around and see if we cannot include more bootses.
2. In this first release we decided against the 3D preview. We will be looking into adding that at a later date.
3. We will continue to monitor and adjust the prices of the consumable items (e.g. the ship skins). We do believe that offering other ship skins that are only available through ingame actions (such as with the new sites coming in Kronos) we'll have something for everyone.

If you are referring to the clothes available only to specific races in the character creator then that is a very good idea. I'll check if we can explore that further.

We've been busy making some last minute adjustment to our new backend so that might explain the outages you are referring to.
If you encounter any more getting a bug report about it would be immensely helpful.

1. Yes
2. Yes, but if you buy AUR directly you'll get 4500AUR/20$ (more info is in the dev blog)
3. There are four new battleship skins coming in, check the blog for more details. The frigates and the cruisers will come in the near future.

YES!!! That's exactly what I'm talking about. I have been trying for make this happen for a very long time. I have a thread in F&I about this topic. Just click the link in my signature.

This would be very much appreciated. I know more than a few people who'd love to have access to cross-race clothing.
Also, the blog notes 'new tattoos,' but lists the existing Prototype and Wreckage tattoos. Are these new-for-general-consumption, or were those placeholders for actual new tattoo designs?
I'm hoping the latter. :P

The idea here is that it is you as a person owning the account who has the wealth. You can then choose to give goodies to your characters. This division will become clearer once we add account wide services to the store that affect the account and not the characters. it is not the characters buying these things, but you as a real life person.

Vincent; think of it this way. Aurum is a CCP currency, not a New Eden currency. If you plex your account or the like, explaining it in RP requires a bit more, uh, creativity. ;) When I plexed for a carrier just after I'd started back up, I handwaved it in RP terms as a 'gift' from a minor official in a certain faction.
Legion; quick question. Is there any chance of getting female counterparts to certain male clothing items?
Namely, there's a limited edition Ishukone dress shirt for male avatars. There's no counterpart for females. While I wouldn't want to detract from the value of the male shirts by causing them to be rereleased, it'd be awesome if there were a way to get the female equivalent, or else redeem/swap the male shirt for a female shirt.
Pretty please?

Humm!
Account wide services?
While an extension of the plex for multiple character training would not be to bad.
But based on other games!
This better not include all character accelerated SP learning bonuses or say the ability to have an all character account wide 'station inventory'!
The later would really upset gankers and pirates as you could shift stuff from one end of the EVE Universe without it ever having to leave a station! |

Wow, this is looking fantastic. Thanks guys for the work put into this (and the products in the NES!). 
May I just mention, while I'm here, something that may not be directly in your area but is very related to this ...
Remember a while ago when you changed the creator to allow characters to wear a mid/outer layer top without an inner-layer? What do you think the chances are of doing something similar for bottoms/pants? I'm asking because these new tops coming in the expansion (and many of the existing ones), the mid/outer layer ones, would double wonderfully as dresses but they can only be worn when a pant-layer is also worn. 
Please .... pretty, pretty please fiddle with the layering rules again so we can use these new tops as dresses as well?
This would add an enormous amount of versatility to the wardrobe selection you already have without actually having to go and produce specific new items.
Anyway thanks guys, really excited for this coming expansion.

I've played with the New Eden Store a little on Singularity and it is far more attractive and tempting than the previous iteration. The layout is clean and uncluttered. I understand why other UI elements are removed - I'm sure you don't want folk backing out of a purchase because hostiles entered system. ;)
The individual items are large enough to be seen with some clarity, but it feels counter-intuitive to not be able to interact with them in the same manner we're used to in every other aspect of EVE. I get that it's already been explained that it's a feature that's slated for the future...

...which is good to hear because I'd be disinclined to purchase anything that the vendor wouldn't let me examine beforehand.
Was the decision to launch without 3D item browsing due to technical or man-hour limitations (as opposed to a marketing decision)? I note that the store items can be viewed by exiting the store and doing an item search in the standard EVE UI, so we can give the skins a more thorough examination before shelling out, but that's laborious.
I'm really glad that the early trials must've gained enough traction for this to be seen as a worthwhile pursuit as the store's success presumably greenlights future ship customisation functionality as showcased at Fanfest 2014.
I look forward to being able to attach searchlights and Reaver-like smoke-trails to my exhaust.

We're looking at stuff like offering multiple character training and character re-sculpt through the store. Then possibly things like race, bloodline and gender change. We are looking into what else we could offer and how they would work, but worry not, there will be no 'gold ammo' :)

Am I the only one to think that this is a very odd and bad idea?
I think some things like these should remain unchangeable... |
