I've just looked at the upcoming EVE retail box at the german amazon.de page. There's a list of the box content:
- EVE client - 60 days gametime (can also be added to an existing account or converted to plex) - Strategy Guide with exclusive online content - VIP pass (to invite friends) - a special ship (if you use the gametime to create a new account)
The text says "special ship" and not "exclusiv ship" so I guess when the expansion comes out this ship will be available to everyone. Or is it really an exclusive ship which will only be available for buyers of the retail box? First I thought its a new T3 ship but just think about it. The retail box is for new players - and to give them a free T3 ship which they can only fly after month of training doesn't make sense. So maybe it's a kind of shuttle. One more question: the box description says that you only get this new ship if you use the gametime to create a new account. Well, I wanted to buy this box but I don't want to waste 60 days of gametime for a second new account (which I really don't need) just to get this ship. Would be better if you also get this special ship if you add the 60 days GT from the retail box to an existing account.

If it is a new ship, I be its a T1 ship of no consequence. But a nice bonus for the new players.

Quote: Special Edition Ship û Players will get an exclusive ship in-game. It is special type of a shuttle that is ideal to move things around due to much increased cargo space. This is the first time CCP has created an exclusive ship, so we believe our current player base will be very interested in this.
I find it funny you can jump into FW straight off as well. |

Right. I guess most of the new players will lose it on their first days in the 1.0 starting system to gankers/can flippers or other dirty tricks. |

should you refer to this EVE Online on Amazon.de I have to tell you that this is a outdated box art which was done before the features for the box where even defined.
Sorry but you spend your conspiracy power on a fake.
About the Game Time, I asked around a few weeks back and nothing was decided at this time but I was told that there will be a Dev-Blog about this before the box gets released which will explain everything.
So unfortunately more infos SOON(tm) again. |

Edited by: Disteeler on 03/02/2009 13:16:00 From the Game website. The guide sounds very nice.
Eve Online Package Contains:
- 60 Day Game Time û Useable by both new and current players.
- Instant War Access û Retail box buyers will receive an in-game certificate that will give them instant access to Factional Warfare, while other users have to spend considerable time earning the right to fight for the factions.
- Career Guide û For the first in the history of EVE, CCP will offer players goals in the form of what career they want to pursue and the inside advice on how to get there. This might become the biggest thing in this box if this works well.
- VIP Pass û Players are told how they can invite their friends and give them VIP Access to EVE Online in the form an extended trial and if the friend becomes a subscriber the player will get a 30 day free game time added to their account.
- Special Edition Ship û Players will get an exclusive ship in-game. It is special type of a shuttle that is ideal to move things around due to much increased cargo space. This is the first time CCP has created an exclusive ship, so we believe our current player base will be very interested in this.

I think that shuttle will be available for all players. Notice how they differentiate between retail buyers and players. For example, the VIP pass seems like the buddy program and the guide surely it will also be in the evelopedia

Edited by: Busier Abuser on 03/02/2009 13:26:36 Well I dont like it, FW right away, I cant even get into it with my main, I have to grind, BS.
A shuttle with more cargohold for peeps who buy the boxed version, BS. Well maybe I jumped the gun on this one.
I guess the glory days of Eve are behind us, well when they start losing all the veterans in a year or two, and change everything back and we all return ,ill be happy, now get my weapon grouping to work.

For, like, what, couple of hours and some extra ISK into your wallet OR almost instantly but with a slight minus in your wallet ?
Quote: A shuttle with more cargohold for peeps who buy the boxed version, BS. Well maybe I jumped the gun on this one.
Yes, you did. Not like a 30k ISK frigate wouldn't be nearly as good, probably better due to the fact you can actually use some modules on it.

Yes, EVE is dying, where have I heard that before ?
Quote: now get my weapon grouping to work.
It's working, you either have a slight visual bug which will be fixed by logging off and back on again, OR a bad case of proper usage of new feature noobitis.

From the Amazon.de page:
In deinen ersten 30 Tagen k÷nnen Sie, wenn Sie einen neuen Account erstellen, direkt an den Fraktions-Schlachten teilnehmen.
Roughly translated: In the first 30 days - if you create a new account - you can take part in factional warfare.
So it's just a kind of factional warfare preview for the new players limited to 30 days to show them some features of EVE. I guess if they want to continue with FW after these 30 days they have to grind standing as any other player.

ummm no... Ive played EvE since Beta and I will be buying the boxed version in March. The shuttle is one of the reasons I will spend money on the boxed version.

We're talking about a free tradeable shuttle as a welcome git and not a 20Mio SP combat ready char with a free BS for every new subscriber. This is not the end of EVE. |

Edited by: Ki Tarra on 03/02/2009 15:45:21 I agree with Akita T, even if (as CCP Sputnik said they are likely to change) all of the features are added as stated, they are hardly significant.
The "special" ship will likely be similar to, if not actually, an Apotheosis. There is no reason to believe that CCP will be giving out State Issue Ravens with every purchase.
Giving instant access to Faction Warfare is also insignificant: the old tutorial missions used to give you a 10% faction standings bonus for killing a couple of training drones and flying a package to the next system. I am sure that they can figure out a balanced way of giving new players a 5% faction standings so that they can jump right into faction warfare.
