When asked about pop culture themed ship skins EVEs art guys said EVE was dark cyberpunk world, so HelloKitty skins and such wouldn’t fit. Yet lately they added so many facial tatoos and implants which rather remind Ben Stillers Zoolander
then really any dark cyberpunk, Matrix, Johnny Mnemonic, Alita Battle Angel, Cyberpunk 2077, Syndicate (1993 Bullfrog), Syndicate (2012 EA remake), Deus Ex, etc, you name it.
I know, its spaceships game. But this doll play adds to immersion, and CCP considers character necessary anyway, as people lose ships more easily if its character they’re attached to, not particular ship they fly.
I think there is opportunity and market for this kind of stuff. Consider all possible LP, PLEX, ISK sinks. Suddenly unpopular activities might be populated if reward is right.
[Raffle has ended, we have a winner!] 100,000,000.00 ISK for the first player that sends me an evemail with the correct name of Zoolander’s pose.
Hint; Le Tigre, Blue Steel or Magnum or another?
Hi, you must be new here. Looks like the team that build the character creator was laid off four years ago, so all we have left is a couple of interns doing facial tatoos. Once they get the hang of that they are promoted to the paint-by-numbers ship skin department and a new set of interns is appointed.
I honestly haven’t really met any PvPer who gives a rats ass about it being his character that explodes or his ■■■■■■■ ship and it doesn’t really make any sense to actually give a damn about it, so this whole idea seems rather … let’s call it “weird”.
I’m the alt STRONG, INDEPENDENT WOMAN of whom people said was I was the sole reason for an increase in PLEX prices back during the Kronos expansion by pushing clothes, bottomless dresses and tights really hard!
I can guarantee you that I never thought “OH MY, MY CHARACTER IS GOING TO DIE, I CAN’T HAVE THAT!” and instead it was more like “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA EXPLOSION WOOOOOOO!” independently of it being me, my ship, you, your ship, your mom, your family, a million NPC people.
