If I do that, the only thing I can conclude is CCP/Aurum moneygrab. I should probably state that I happen to have a few of these, and while it might appear that I'm trying to milk their worth, I'm really not. As you said, there are tons floating around; they're far from rare. It just sticks out like a sore thumb when ONLY these are temporary, and seem to contradict the whole concept of having a skinnable options in the first place. Maybe a better question would be: what is CCP wanting to avoid if these were to become permanent? How can there be a money grab for something that isn't obtainable with money? That's really the fundamental difference there. Please tell us how to acquire Aurum without paying money GÇô I'm sure that I can't be the only one who would dearly like to know. How? Redeem a PLEX for Aurum. Buy legacy Aurum Tokens on the market. (I wish CCP would bring these back..)
And of course, lets not forget that the PLEX that you convert to Aurum can be purchased for ISK. You need never spend a nickle to purchase items from the NES store unless you wish to.

But you have not. I cannot customize my ship. All I can do is allow you to customize my ship. I cannot select the specific colors I want, or the patterns I want, or the features I want. All I can do is choose to let you give me the colors, patterns, and features you want.
Sure, this is a quite good step in the right direction, but I still want to customize my ship. you do realize this is the first step right? they have already said that customization is coming.
It's highly unlikely he will ever get what he wants, that being the ability to completely customize his ship as he wishes.
There will be, by necessity, an element of CCP control in any ship skinning mechanism they create. Now the options and variations possible may go up significantly, with different patterns and color schemes available... the ability to take those patterns and make them larger or smaller and apply them to various parts of your ships... etc.... but the base patterns and colors available will always be strictly controlled.

How about you posting a screenshot of your browser showcasing those horrible ships for us to see what you see too? c: Because I do NOT think it is your eyes deceiving you, but your browser messing with you! I do wonder why you don't get the least bit suspicious that you seem to be the only one with that problem? But still you say everybody is wrong? How curious c: Ranger 1 wrote:And of course, lets not forget that the PLEX that you convert to Aurum can be purchased for ISK. You need never spend a nickel to purchase items from the NES store unless you wish to. You apparently forget that SOMEONE had to pay for it to be sold for ISK in the game c: Every Plex you purchased with ISK is you giving ISK to someone who wants to exchange their real money for ISK and buys plex. So it does not matter if YOU never spent a single dime, because SOMEBODY exchange real life money from their wallet with the ISK you made in game. There is still real money involved. No Arkonor Trees c:
Heh, no, I'm very much aware of that. You're missing the point.
That person that purchased the PLEX got what they wanted, namely your ISK when you purchased it from the market. That part of the equation is done.
We are discussing the cost of these SKIN licenses to the people that want to purchase them, and the fact remains that you need not spend a nickel to purchase them from either the player market or (more importantly) directly from the NES store.
The fact that someone else spent real money in a separate transaction has no bearing on this particular discussion. That transaction is done, and both parties involved got exactly what they wanted from it. YOUR transaction to purchase the SKIN need not involve any of YOUR cash what-so-ever... not when YOU buy the PLEX and not when you buy the license.
I don't care if someone else spent money on the PLEX originally, that's their business and has no effect on my personal cash. It was a valid (and completely separate) transaction. In fact I'm pleased that my purely ISK transaction is indirectly benefiting the cash flow for CCP without costing me a thing in real money, as well as benefiting the player that was desperate enough for ISK that he spent his own cash on it.

Sounds like I need to finish my last showcase video (Gallente) this weekend.

I'm mildly surprised there are still a few people brave enough to use Internet Explorer, even Microsoft doesn't recommend it anymore.

And charge whatever you want, I'm okay with living in poverty as long as I get dem skins! I agree.. even if they were all only purchasable through Concord LP, on top of this those customs officials around gates could get something better that T1. I would like seeing a gallente police Talos or Mega, the incursus imo would look very fitting in a police skin.
There is a Police Mega skin on Sisi.
