Also, a note; CCP has pretty much said that they don't like the idea of Epic Arcs, and that they did not turn out well.  I for one think that they are far too much of a "theme park" element for EVE.  What are your thoughts on this?
Bit of a sidetrack, sorry for that, but.. mh, really? A shame. I've done some of the arcs, and there's definite upsides to them. The SoE epic arc is doable right out of the school system, decent ISK for a new character, and chock-full of lore and impressions of capsuleer life. The Angels epic arc is pure bait to tempt people into trying out the nullsec life, and quite effective at it, in my case. Loved every minute of it.

It's the faction epic arcs that give the concept a bad name, I guess. I found the Caldari epic arc missions and story to be interesting enough, but whoever came up with the variable rewards based on essentially blind choices right at the start of the arc doesn't understand game design. I hear the other faction epics have similar problems, that is, if they offer any kind of substantial rewards at all.

I fully endorse this idea as yet another way of adding flavour to some items.

However, I don't like the idea of people being unable to sell/jettison them. I don't like the idea of preventing something that just doesn't make sense: just because the item is tailored to only work for you, doesn't mean you can't dump the thing in space, or sell it to someone else.

Limiting use makes more sense: something about programming it to unique, pilot-specific brain signatures.

EVE had unique special items that only a few could use. 

They were called aviator sunglasses.  Only we Brutor could have them. 

And CCP diditwrong by allowing just anyone to pick them up, and thus robbed us of our cultural heritage.
