Originally by: GamesguyOriginally by: Jacob MeiI might be up for this if the requirements for those ships were on the high side.This is just an example:
2,000,000 Loyalty points with either the Federation Navy, Federation Intelligence Office, Federal Administration, Senate or The President corporations.
500,000,000 ISK
90 Caldari Navy Admiral Insignia, 90 Amarr Navy Admiral Insignia
1 Megathron Navy Issue
4.0 rep with the Gallente Federation
Basicly, if you made it so grinding for these sorts of ships was on the near fanatical level of aquirement I could see these ships being allowed in the LP store, and it would certainly fit with the new expansion coming out.
No, you should never be able to get these ships by grinding, ever.At best you could hope for is maybe giving them to the people with the most kills against their enemies faction(would have to be balanced etc) in FW or something. It should always be a pvp reward.
In all honesty I was kinda poking fun at the idea of the federate and its counter parts being released as an obtainable ship. The LP points alone would take three to four months to aquire and thats not counting the 180 admiral dog tags or the real kicker of having to have a 4.0 gallente rep. Basicly I would expect it to take atleast six months to a year before someone could get a federate issue and who in their right mind would use such a ship in pvp after going threw all that to aquire just one?

15k LP per mission in lowsec, 20 minute average with a good ship and doing the missions blitz style will get you 2.000.000 lp in roughly 45 hours of play. Doing them for gallente corps will easily raise your faction standing above 4.0 and the basic mission pay will exceed 500 million ISK, the bounties will pay for the dog tags at a 1000% markup on the buy order.
Basically, take a week of work, play EVE fulltime and you'd have one. 3 to 4 months? You could have half a dozen to sell on auction for enough money you'd never have to worry about ISK in EVE again.

Why would you need a federate issue or counterparts for this anyways? Completely nonsense

They don't NEED a incentive. They're already doing one of the most profitable proffessions in EvE without any risk at all.
Such ships should be PvP rewards, not something to grind by running missions for a month (which incidentally is the most un-Eveish thing in EvE, something which is essentially single player grinding content without challenge or risk).
Maybe, for people who risk their ships all the time in FW and fight for their faction, *maybe* for them.

I would also vote for yes on this one. Just because i don't see much sense in ships that aren't accessable to the public at all.
Though for RP reasons, i would suggest to offer them as a reward. Either for achievments on FW, or for a final cosmos mission. There are allready agents which require some 9.9 faction standing and offer a 2 run faction bpc for tags in return.

*shrugs* I hardly play eve full time these days so I was using my typical play time. However if it were THAT easy id say up it to say 2 billion lp and require a 9.0 with gallente rep.

Fair enough, but when you set the difficulty on things in an MMO, you always have to account for the extremes. With my current typical play time it would take 3 to 4 years.
