I was playing with 3 CCP named empty capsules I "Acquired" and moved them from my Orca's fleet hanger to main hanger. And then I was doing some other stuff and changed ships. And the Capsules disappeared. One was a "CCP Zulu's Capsule" and 2 other CCP named capsules.

So if you own some empty capsules put them in a station vault or something or you to could lose yours.

I know Chribba has some of his own capsules from way back. And there are some T'Amber capsules that the original T'Amber gave away.

Now I have to go make.. Er... I mean Acquire some more Cry

Also, you can board them like a ship and get whatever implants that dude was in. It would be pretty funny to end up in a set of Nova implants or whatever they're called.

That's a good question. I know I have a couple of my own, but I don't know how. I always assume it was some random bug and didn't realize I could even trade them.

Would anyone like to buy mine? I'm sure there is some good pod juice in there that's fermented very nicely. I wont say what seasonings I use in my pod juice, but I can promise you it's completely organic.

Well, you poke a hole in the top, then a hole in the bottom while covering the other hole and then you blow. If something gets stuck, ignore the screams and blow harder.

Then you paint them in bright colours and hang it on your POS for good luck and fertile investments.

Happy Easter!

In this Old Thread of mine someone lets it slip. If you fancy doing some digging to find out Blink

I basically have a BPO for capsules. Everyone does, they just don't always know they do or find out how to use it properly. That is if it still works. With all the new changes who knows. Well I will in less than 4 hours.

For Easter, can we get our pods painted in pastel colors with stripes and stickers on them?

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I wonder, if one were to undock in a pod and then biomass the character, would that leave an empty pod floating in space? What about ships with biomassed characters in them?

Remember though the character is logged off, so the ship would just never come back is my guess. Poof to the ether. Although it would be cool if they came back and you could scan them down. Wonder if anyone has ever logged off in a titan and then biomassed.

Surely we have a volunteer from some enormously wealthy nullsec alliance who would do this for science?

It wasn't a scam, I am sure I worded it correctly. They are (were) real pods. They were not misrepresented. Thus not a scam.

Edit-
2 years ago I didn't try to sell them, I did sell them.

You scammed people into believing that it was indeed a capsule that originally belonged to CCP Claw, among others. This was done through creating an alt, renaming the capsule on the alt, joining your corp, then reprocessing the alt. Thus, you ended up with capsules named CCP Claw's Capsule, Chribba's Capsule, and others. Yes, it was a capsule, yes, it was named CCP Claw's Capsule, but no, it never belonged to CCP Claw. If you had properly informed players of this, you never would have gotten bids.
