The inherent problem in this question, I think, is that Legion isn't a game yet, so they don't really know what will and won't be transferable. And if transferable, how things will transfer. But I would like to think any AUR purchases at bare minimum would be refunded back to AUR that you could spend again. In some things, particularly collectable/vanity things like suit skins, will be in some form hopefully transferable to Legion. With the clear disclaimer that no, CCP has not said anything on this ground for transfers, I'm recalling CCP Z's progression talk saying all suits were BPOs, so I wouldn't think transferring suit BPOs would be completely out of the question. It really depends what Legion actually is when it's launched.



I think these might be in the range of possibility (noting that new variations of existing items is generally possible in hotfixes), this is a good thread to mention desires for these things.

but by sayign that, doesn't that means that CCP have the option to include these BPOs in some form or another into legion? seeign as its in such an early stage, and now if they don't they would appear to be 'dicks' by not including them? seeing as a large amount of playerbase has purchased BPOs and in New Eden BPOs are a crucial element of the game, every item used in the game from the small ammo loaded into a frigs turrets to the outposts and titans themselves are built from a BPO.

If manufacturing was included from the start it allows a fantastic oppertunity for CCP to have a way of both earning income from the game and enabling a good career for players who want to spend real money on it.

If BPOs for all items are made available (as in EVE) but for AUR instead and players can refine modules from either pub matches, FW, PvE or even buying minerals/materials from the market (as in EVE) and put BPOs in to manufacture suits/wepaons and sell them on the market it allows new players to spend a little real money and buy a BPO and as they progress they can manufacture the items from their earnings so they can either use them when they skill into them or sell them on the market for isk.

Corporations could provide cheap fully ready suits to new players as incentives to join, just as the corps in eve do with frigates ect. the player market and manufacturing element would make DUST/Legion far more interactive and less of a grind for new players if they could earn a bit of semi passive isk by manufacturing and selling items.

If the BPOs we have now are turned into the typical BPO we know and love in new Eden and we have to build consumable items from them it reassures players that buying them would be a good investment if they intend on playing Legion because they will have BPOs ready for manufacturing and that from the get-go there is a good portion of the players who can start manufacturing for the player market and creating a good economy

WHAT THE ACTUAL ****?! Those suits are made up and didnt existed previously. You wont fool me CCP ive been here long enough to exactly recall what faction was in what suit category:

Raven=Caldari Assault
SVER= Minmatarr Logistic
Valor= Gallente scout

Every other suit you add did not existed before. This is a huge cashgrab operation and i bet each dropsuit will at least cost 30k AUR. God so annoying.

@Maken. yeah i had a similar idea as the ship skin BPC's for the suits too. you buy say an 'Aliastra' Gallente Assault G-I BPO for 1000AUR but you have to 'apply' that skin to isk bought G-I suits

but the idea i was leaning towards is having players manufacture the suits and modules in Legion just as we do in EVE, there would still need to be NPC items but players could undercut the NPC prices to encourage players ot buy from them instead and eventually if/when the playerbase grew and more people bought BPOs CCP could ease back the amount of NPC supplied items. the same was done in EVE. certain modules still had NPC seeds up until a few years ago when everything went playerbased (apart from skillbooks, BPOs and trade items)

I clicked them all just like I did for the sniper scope change. I don't even snipe.....

Lets waste more time bringing back BPO's instead of a new map or two. *clap* *clap* *clap*

There were bpos for all classes?

pfft, I run proto all the time so I won't be using any of these suits anyway.

That indeed is sexy.

You must be referring to a re-release right? Cause the LAV BPO's were priced at $100 each. You can still find people with them ingame.

Is the only difference the color or do they have different stats???
if so please tell me!
