I am comforted by the first sentence I bolded and if I held a great deal of trust for CCP right now, I would assume the words in the second bolded portion would just be phrased poorly. The phrase ships which have different statistics from existing common hulls" would inspire more confidence for me if it had specifically stated that any ships offered for sale in NEX would have no combat, combat support, industrial or industrial support roles and might include such ships as shuttles with equal or lesser performance than existing shuttles, but bearing enhanced visual appearances.
My concern is having NEX selling identical warships, mining ships, haulers, etc... as are currently mined, refined, built, transported and traded within the Eve economy, thus bypassing the community and undermining the player driven market place. If the same ships will be sold in NEX, career paths could become irrevelent.
Plex does not magically provide ships out of thin air, but merely finances the pursuit of the various career paths.
Thank you, Eve and CSM, for your diligence and attention to detail in what appears to be a good first step. You have met my (me, I only represent me) concerns at this point in the rebuilding of the relationship I once enjoyed with CCP. I will uphold my word and restore my unsubs, for now. Please don't have some last minute surprise to spring on us and have this whole pile of crap stirred around again.
