This is really a plea to CCP. I hope they’re listening.
For the last few Christmases CCP has given us a bunch of slightly interesting but ultimately completely useless junk, things like the ‘Grand Teigjon Casino Chip’ and the ‘Counterfeit Dominix Model’.
For several years before this, CCP had normally given pilots a special ship at Christmas to say thanks for their loyalty and continued support, for example, the Sukuuvestaa Heron (https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Sukuuvestaa_Heron).
So this year CCP, can you start doing this again, please? While I really appreciate the science fiction narratives woven into objects like the ‘Sansha Claws Fairytale Book’ (which is, just for those who don’t possess it, an object that you can’t look at or read), personally, I’d rather have something I can fly.
Because guess what, socks are USABLE! They feel nice to use, they eventually wear off and eventually they go to the trash but it had its purpose! CCP right now is only handing out cards that are forgettable and waste space, I doubt many people in the world have a drawer dedicated to birthday and holiday cards.
Of course ship, like small yacht, with some fancy stylized hull and stealth capabilities would be better stuffed with this chocolate and socks, but oh well, one can only dream.
Would love to see shuttles based on actual ships like for instance a mini caldari titan. Shuttle size of course same stats as shuttle, These would so cool to fly about, collectable. Or maybe finish of the genolution sets.
Except you aren’t birthed by CCP and you pay them to make your gameplay worthwhile. Once they set the standard…well, they set their own standard and we remember
