In EVE time, technology must already exist that allows ships to not need "fuel" in the sense that we think of it.

Current (real life) technology makes a fuel-driven spacecraft impossible, you can't hold enough fuel to go anywhere very far, definitely not out of the solar system. A more realistic option (I use the term "realistic" loosely), is to have solar sails that can also be powered by lasers.

Imagine how crazy (and cool) the ships in EVE would look with massive solar sails.

Yeah, would be pretty crazy having a solar sail several kilometers in area.
Not to mention acceleration and de-acceleration would be a nightmare.

I want the Space Whales that were discussed on these forums a few years ago.

Now THAT was out of the box thinking!

I'd like planets to orbit the suns.
or not as dev time is for sure better wasted elsewhere.

Right, much easier for the designers to deal with it as they have done, and just say, "Well, in EVE universe we have ships that don't need refueling or sails or whatever, because the technology in EVE doesn't require those things."

If anyone has a link to any EVE lore that specifically addresses this topic, that would be cool. I'd like to read it.

I want to be able to build and place a giant statue of myself. Here's how it would work:
-Use the character creator to design your full-body 3d model. Or actually, I'd prefer my statue to be a bust, just like my current avatar.
-Pay 100bil isk to have the model made into a giant monumental statue.
-Haul your self-monument to some anchoring site. General POS anchoring rules apply. But to anchor in empire space, you have to have 30+ standing with that faction.
-Your statue is destructible. Better put POS shields and guns around it and never forget to keep it fueled. Otherwise it could end up on somebody's KB.

Sounds like player owned space housing. An instance where you can set up your own little universe.

Clearly, this post was the worst idea I've had since I decided to start paying for EVE...

Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy. And be happy.

Nope, not that bad dude, that's just general discussion for you. Don't take it too personally.
While most of your suggestions are in the game in some form or another, they could be be implemented a lot better, also, this kind of stuff goes here where it will receive arguably worse treatment than it has here, that said even the craziest tinfoil hat wearing Looneys have inspired moments and if its in there, ccp may well take it on board.

5. Why doesn't my ship require 'fuel' or a fuel cell or something? Something that decays, something that runs out, something I can build and sell or steal, etc. What could be a huge driver of potential conflict and commerce is completely absent.
