AIR and Paragon Announce Iterative Developments
Not to be outshined by Upwell, Paragon has announced an expansion to their SKINR platform putting the power of ship customization into the hands of their capsuleer pilots. Capsuleers will be able to sequence their own SKINs for individual or corporation orders and even sell them to other capsuleers for ISK or PLEX. To support this expansion Paragon will also be releasing the ‘Paragon Hub’ a potential competitor to the venerable New Eden Store.
Coinciding with this, AIR has announced plans to add onto their existing Daily Goals program with a new Monthly Program. Monthly rewards will differ between Omega & Alpha clone statuses with some rewards being related to Paragon’s SKINR expansion. Additionally, AIR has worked alongside the Society of Conscious Thought and CONCORD to enhance the corporation interface used by capsuleer corporations to streamline management. The most notable feature being an integrated Ship-Replacement-Program (SRP).
