Should use balloon to life rocket, weight it so it falls the right way up, then fire it with a USB stick full of our basic data. P

Nerf rockets, boost balloons!

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

UPDATE!

The launching of this balloon has been delayed due to someone afk cloaking in Icelandic airspace.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.

I think this deserves a new ship... a balloon ship of course!! .... what better to do with the ships but make it a specialized ORE gas harvester, and it could store all that harvested gas in it's specialized BALLOON TANK :)

This is amazing. Even though it's after Christmas, it's the best Christmas present ever!!

I'm so happy :'D


Also, CCP Zulu is out? CCP, stop playing with my emotions.


Yes, this is true.

And also no, CCP Zulu has not left. He is very much involved in the day to day operations of CCP Smile

and here i thought this was going to be real space, as in floot it up as far as it can go and use a rocket to launch a USB with the eve game files in to space, and all the names of EvE players so when the aliens find it and see how EPIC and cool the people playing eve are they know who to come give free space ships to,

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

I'm positive that after ignoring us for thousands of years, exterrestrial life will be curious what this "internet spaceships" is all about and this will be the catalyst for first contact. P

From a very reliable source I heard the conversations at CCP's HQ now go a lot like this..


Random exec: Zulu!...get us four tea's and a coffee please.

Zulu: Wibble Wibble..

Random exec: Zulu..the door, use the door.

Zulu: Wibble?

sometime later....

Random exec: where's the tea?

Zulu: WWWIIIIBBBLLLEEEE!!!

Random exec: ohhh dear Zulu..perhaps just push the door instead?

Or put us on "to eliminate first" list since we seem to have access to high technology internet spaceships they can't find anywhere and we might be able to thwart their invasion plans.

I forget, how much money has CCP and the player base donated to charities and disaster relief so far... it in the neighborhood of a few hundred thousand if I recall correctly.

I'd say nice attempt at a troll, but really... not so much.

That’s right, the character names and images of every player character subscribed at the end of this year will be placed in an expertly crafted EVE Pod during Fanfest 2012. That pod will then be affixed to a high-altitude balloon during the event and released, reverse planetary bombardment style. Powered by the laws of physics and mysterious Terran technology, the spacefaring vessel will travel to altitudes exceeding 100,000 feet and into the realm of near space. A camera will record the voyage of all EVE capsuleers, united in one fleet for the first time, as they crest the curve of the planet. The gorgeous vistas should be a familiar sight for those who fly around in the EVE Universe on a regular basis.


<3 :3

FakeEdit: inb4 people come in here saying how the money spent on the balloon should be spent on eve instead and that this is a terrible thing to do and ccp should be ashamed and eve is dying?

Seriously though, this sounds awesome. Thanks! Big smile

Not trolling here, it's just waste of money. We could save few kids with all that money wasted..
