Hotness.
Yesterday, I asked on Twitter, “Tell the truth: does the station model (graphics) factor at all into your decisions regarding where to open offices?”
This came up because I needed to open up a new office or two for Back Alley Trading Company and a new operation (since I wanted to position some assets for the pilots who’d participate). When I went to the systems in question, I remembered how much I hate some of the Caldari models.
In reality, I consider location and price foremost, plus services depending on the purpose of the office. But the station design matters a great deal, too, though I won’t go to another system for it and I won’t pay too much extra for a nice design. I really like Gallente 7 (the orbital wheels) and the Minmatar mining station (with the asteroids).
My question got some interesting responses.
@Novon_: Factors more important 2 me include; monthly cost, standing, facilities, sec status, distance from trade hub, graphics r secondary
@starryeyedpod: Yes. It even influences my decisions on agents
@evewarrior: The one that pays the most for the minimal effort of the overall process (including sellin loot buying shtuff).
@jrmerson: Not so much the model as how you undock. I drive orcas a lot and because of that I do not like stations you drop out the bottom.
@escoce: tell the truth. No, location 1st, then standings 2nd… Nothing else to consoder
What about you? Do you take them into consideration? Which ones do you prefer?
