Brox alDragoran Caldari D.M.T inc Establishment	Posted - 2009.01.24 12:42:00 - [1] Edited by: Brox alDragoran on 24/01/2009 12:42:28 The chance to be one of only 4-8 ish people in the whole game who fly something that can not be built and once destroyed will be part of the history of the game has got to be a bigger draw than a cup. It does not need to be some solopwnmobile just a ship with a name with a story and with some class and distinction. It was the storys of ships like the Imperial apoch that made EvE such and exciting game for me when i was even more noobish than i am now. I dont see the arguement againts giving away unique(ish) ships to the winners. Thats not to say i wont ever change my view please if there is a good reason help me understand so i can feel better about it. If you want people who are becoming disenchanted with this game/tourny to come back and get involved give them something to spark thier intrest. Who the hell wants a cup. I want something no other pilot will be able to fly. Cup, medal what the funk are you people thinking.
Tyrrax Thorrk Amarr Guiding Hand Social Club Otherworld Empire Productions	Posted - 2009.01.24 12:57:00 - [2] predictably enough I totally agree ! however, the argument against is that a single ship of the type they've rewarded in the past is easily worth 100 billion isk, and thus can effect the political and military situation i don't really care about that, what's one titan more or less these days anyway but that's not the way CCP feels about it soo... personally i think they should just somehow make the reward ship non-transferable, dunno how hard that'd be to implement tho
Rawthorm Gallente The Establishment Establishment	Posted - 2009.01.24 12:58:00 - [3] I agree. It's one of the reasons I've not entered EST in any of the tourneys because I feel they simply are not worth fighting for. I can however understand why they've stopped giving out unique's, as now a frequent event you'd simply have too many. I think this can be remedied by making the tourney not so regular (maybe once a year) but making it a bigger event with higher stakes and full dedicated coverage.

Hugs his State Issue And if they implemented that, what would you guys steal?

Though ofc, one obvious problem is that in the very first tournament, each team consisted of 4 specified pilots, whereas nowadays teams can field different pilots for each match. CCP would have to abandon the current alliance approach to re-introduce unique prices. Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me

A single ship worth 100bil is a bit game breaking to give out. I hope it would be possible to produce a unique ish ships for a prize that would not be worth quite as much. I understand that the value of the ships is going to be largly in the eye of the beholder however a slightly tweeked existing ship would be a good prize. I know i have been argueign for unique ships but perhaps giving each member of the winning team 4? copies of a slightly tweked ship would lowever the individual vale of that ship while maintainging the draw of wanting to fly somthing 99% of the game wont ever be able to own. Even creating a sub class of "tournament issue" ships that have a diffrent colour scheme from normal ships, some small extra bonus or extra slot and have a little bit of story in thier description about how they were won.
Amy Wang	Posted - 2009.01.24 14:28:00 - [9] flag them so they cant be traded, put into contracts, on market, corp hangars, hangar arrays of posses and ships and make them blow up immediately when you eject from them in space (so they cant be traded that way), then sure give out all the unique ships you want as prizes but giving the winning team 500b worth of stuff is more then a tad too much, if they cant be traded in any way they are unique rewards to strive for but have no monetary value
Tyrrax Thorrk Amarr Guiding Hand Social Club Otherworld Empire Productions	Posted - 2009.01.24 14:59:00 - [10] i like the skill idea

Think of it as CCP giving out 1000 more pos that one side have to kill in a war. . you'll never jump alone
Tyrrax Thorrk Amarr Guiding Hand Social Club Otherworld Empire Productions	Posted - 2009.01.24 15:21:00 - [12] ouch ;\
Amy Wang	Posted - 2009.01.24 16:01:00 - [13] Yea the skill idea is pretty good and easier to implement. The upside of giving out unique ships again is people might field them in the next tourney and get them blown up under much cheering of the crowd like a certain Impoc, that was quite entertaining
Brox alDragoran Caldari D.M.T inc Establishment	Posted - 2009.01.24 16:48:00 - [14] The skill idea could work however i run several pvp alts who often fly eachothers ships so for me IF i was to win i would have trouble with which char to pick and im sure the problem would apply to a few other people. The funny thing is i don't ever expect to win and may never even enter the alliance tourny however it is for some reason a big deal for me that there should be ultra rare ships in game.
