The ship you have in your hanger will still be called "Stratios Emergency Responder". Don't worry Entity nobody is going to take your special collection away from you.
The Slayer GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 217	Posted - 2015.06.04 18:58:29 - [2] - Quote Oh wait never mind I see now "The visual identity of these ships is what makes them unique" - No I completely disagree. CCP are expected to update these ships every time there is a graphics update - If they didn't you and your little cabal of super richy richies would kick up SUCH a **** storm. I don't think its too much of an ask for them to be able to reuse these skins for other purposes.

There's no point reusing skins when the skins system is so enormously flexible as demonstrated by the "any skin on any ship" bug. Reusing unique ship skins is just cheap and disrespectful. "Disrespectful"? Really? Who exactly are they disrispecting by making these ships available to more people than currently have them. I agree certain things should be restricted, items that were given away for to Tournament winners for example, but in the case of the item you listed and the others given away by these ill fated "competitions" on EVELotterytotallynotanRMTsite.com their very EXISTENCE was disrespectful, hence CCP deciding not to issue them any more. I have no issue with this skin being reused for something not as completely idiotic as the inital giveaways were.

The Slayer GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 220	Posted - 2015.06.04 22:16:41 - [5] - Quote Did they ever actually release a statement saying "this Somer.blink raffle is the only time these items will be seeded into the game"?
The Slayer GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 224	Posted - 2015.06.05 12:20:33 - [6] - Quote BrundleMeth wrote: Well something is not right here. I HAD a Scorpion Ishukone Edition ship. The ship DISAPPEARED from my Hanger and was replaced by a Skin. I can apply that skin to any and every Scorpion I own. That sucks big time. Now it is no longer unique. I have seen the skin for sale for 25 Billion ISK, so I don't imagine many being sold. But the whole idea is crap. If eventually, I can buy a Raven State Issue Skin for say 100 Billion ISK, how many State Issue Ravens will we see? It was a real stupid idea to take away the Unique Ships... The skins themselves are still "unique", in that they can only ever be applied by the person who activates the skin on their account.

They were working on the tech to allow us to customize the ships but this was a way that they could monetize it. If you thought at any point they were going to allow us to customize our ships for free you are delusional.

Those greedy bastards. They should give us everything for free because we are subbed. That being said, we still expect spectacular changes to come out every month perhaps even other Eve related games, all with no increased revenue to the company who will be developing them. It constantly boggles my mind the entitlement of some people. In saying that I am not averse to things being available in packs for cheap :D

If you read it (which it doesnt sound like you have) you would know, that they plan to do this with almost all existing "special" ships and that some SKIN's will resemble, very closely, the special hulls in game. Its not new, it didnt come out of the blue and CCP has been very open about how the SKIN system will be implemented and what will happen to the special hulls, in the game. As far as i understand, you will not loose your precious little Stratios. You will just see regular stratios's flying around and looking alot like yours, but not 100% like it. And your special little snowflake, will always have that special little snowflake name, when other people see it in the overview. Cant really see the harm in letting the rest of us obtain a SKIN, when it doesnt hurt your collection one bit. Except someone was saying earlier that this is not the case, the Ishukune Scorp (Or whatever the special one was called) has been removed and replaced with an Ishukune Skin. If they allow rare ship owners to keep their ships AND seed new skins into the game I am fine with that. If they REMOVE the rare ships and replace them with SKINS, well thats bullshit frankly.

An idea from Entity I can get behind. CCP shouldn't waste resources making ships that entitled babbies will never undock.
