You may have seen the ad at the EVE Online logon for the new EVE Battleship models.
You can get realistic (whatever that means when we’re talking about a virtual universe) scale models of the mainstay battleships of each of the four EVE Online factions. They are:
- The Amarr Apocalypse
- The Caldari Raven
- The Gallente Megathron
- The Minmatar Tempest
They sound like they are quality items from the description at the EVE Online store:
The EVE Online Battleship Models are constructed from a solid resin foundation and are mounted, ready for display, on a base emblazoned with the associated faction logo. The meticulous reproduction of EVE Online’s ships is achieved through a combination of plastic detailing, cast metal components, and hand painted accents. The end result is a striking replica of the very ships soaring through space in New Eden.
The catch is, of course, that they are $124.99 each. (Or all four for only $499.96! If I have that much to spend on toys, I’m buying this instead.)
And while I like the game a lot, and the models look good, with shipping the cost is more than subscribing to EVE for a year.
Which lead Gaff to ask the logical question, “How much is that in ISK?”
I’m sure somebody could do that calculation give the current time card rate of exchange.
