thank you very much

Do I get this right that you can only get 8 out of 20 skins from running Blood Raider Gauntlets? That all BC, BS, Super/Capital/Titan skins are locked behind the paywall?
Is there some trigger to get a BS to spawn? I seen them a few times but donāt know if it is just random or not.
Killing the BC will trigger the next wave a certain % of the time. In HS, that % is pretty low. In LS that % is quite high (close to 100%). It depends on if you want more reward or less (pvp) risk.

I have a question regarding the Aid the Effort chained mission. You have to complete a mining expedition. What exactly is that? Nobody can answer that for me. Is it just a general mining mission? Is it one of the new resource wars?
A resource war site. Iām surprised nobody could answer thatā¦
Well, we live in null, so no resource wars to be had. Thanks though, they should have been more clear in the description.
Thereās a bug with the Cerebral Accelerators. If they expire when youāre online you canāt activate another one. Any ETA on a fix for this?
Valid, and Iāve been thinking of ways to do this without breaking one of the ways we like to enable PVP. If they canāt jump in after you, then there isnāt the possibility of conflict. Perhaps that has more to do with some of the underlying mechanics. Iām not sure how to address this yet.
Scamming is still part of the game. Iām trying to minimize some of this, but over all it is allowed. Tomorrowās Next deployment will see all previously expired cerebral accelerators name changed to Expired Cerebral Accelerator. I understand what they were trying to do by avoiding having to change names and all that, but it feels incomplete. We need to make some changes so that the expiration works correctly.
Also, we are considering allowing expired accelerators to be scrapped so that they arenāt just lying around doing nothing. Maybe give you a few components or something so you can cook up some other boosters with it. Nothing particularly new, just a re-purposing of the useless into something possibly useful.
Correct, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that Iām still having trouble determining how much effort things take. We may never find a perfect balance, but maybe we donāt have to either. Iām not sure yet.
In my past experience, we used the two-thirds guideline. Require two-thirds of the number of total achievable points in order to get all the rewards. Especially with how scaling challenges work, I think we will have to revise this guideline because it feels too heavy-handed.
Yes, the Accelerators have trouble because of a desync with the client and server over your characterās information.
You can ask Customer Support to clear it for you.
Tuesday. Youāre welcome.
Unfortunately we wonāt have a fix for this available before the end of the event.

Seriously? That really sucks. 
Missed the +12 Cerebral accelerators last year
I donāt think +12 is worth fighting / arguing over, Iām quite happy with the +10 being widely available during this event. Even if you look at the percentage difference between 10 and 12, Iām not feeling like I miss much, given the shortness of the event and number of those rare boosters I might find or afford.
Thanks @CCP_Dragon for pushing to rename expired accelerators! Also please consider putting YC dates in the names, it helps us sort and organize ācollectibles.ā
Remember āEVE is foreverā and I have no idea what events some of the commemorative items came from. What am I going to think when I find ācorrupted trinary relicā in my collection of random stuff, years from now? Please help us with good naming practices and descriptions.
(adding) One of my favorite naming grumbles, was the generically named āresearch component.ā What was this for? The description isā¦ ok. No date. It could have been much more helpful to future item archaeologists, if it was named āUpwell research componentā.
Hadnāt thought of that. Weāll take it into consideration when we decide how we want to handle expiring Accelerators on a more permanent basis.

- Allow us to sell and search for them in contracts.
- Fix the expire/online consume glitch.
- Expand the number of ships SKINs available for (T2, Faction).
Thanks.

The skin prices are insane.
No oneās gonna pay 700plex for a skin. Thatās like 30 dollars. Skins should be 1-2$ across the board. Like 50 Plex for the capitals.
Several hundred Plex a skin is why the skin sales are terrible and no one buys any. Youād sell alot more in volume at a lower cost that overall generates more revenue.

the skins available in the eden store is the only skins that wont drop at the sites. the skins you get from the headhunter pack at 400 points is the only skins that will drop. that plus cold iron skins but apparently even more rarer than the headhunter skins. im still trying like hell to get a confessor cold iron skin
agreed. tho i think they should vary. i think $2 for frigs and destroyers Ā£3 for cruisers and BC and %5-6 for BS and dreads. carriers and supers / titans should be roughly $8. the current pricing is a bit wonky for skins and do agree it needs re-balancing

āno one buys anyā - citation needed
Pricing solves itself. If people truly arenāt buying them, the price will be lowered. Or not. There is potential future value in scarcity.
āI canāt/wonāt pay that muchā is not, by itself, sufficient reason to change the price.

Great idea. Letās do something where you throw odds and expired ends into a quantum thingamabob and out pops a one use item like a booster. For example, take 2 expired cerebral accelerators, add 20 units of Carbon, and one corrupted Trinary, mix and get an instant booster that reduces drug side effects by 1d20% (shape of the trinary) for the next booster used. It adds value to those items that have expired/being used in scams, clears those items that have no current value/scam appeal, and provides a market (and help clean clear exploration sites) for the door prize known as Carbon. Maybe a random ship skin? Something like that would help clear the glut of problem items, although Iām sure that someone would try to ārecycleā exotic dancers,tobacco,fine spirits, and some Hard Currency and try to recreate Las Vegas Fanfest New Eden style.
You are very correct. Also, I have no control over pricing. I believe the best way to communicate with the Monetization team is to vote with your wallet.
I find that items that actually have a use can still be used in scams if their value is too low. Why bother recycling using the gameās system if I can recycle by scamming someone out of a few hundred million? So it does require a balance; a balance that I havenāt put enough thought into yet.
