I know it's the 1st of april and all.

But since I've wanted something like this in EVE for years now. I think you should actually make it, and put it into The Game.
Granted, I don't want it to automatically Biomass the corpses I collect. that would deface their value.
Well. Unless you set up a way for us to see it grind away at their corpses in real-time that is :P

Point being. I love the idea but hate the joke ;)

So minmatar slaves burn themselves alive to be resurrected and freed? Where's the unpotable water come from then?

Also the boosters are leet and over 9 thousand!

Oh, I perfectly understand, Hal Morsh — a mission like this requires courage, skill, and heroism… qualities you are clearly lacking. Have you forgotten you're one of the bloody immortals!?

While this has "April's Fools" written all over it, the idea isn't all that bad, at least if implemented temporarily. I imagine all the corpses laying around that the database has to keep up with...perhaps a brief window that gets rid of a lot of them isn't all that bad an idea.

So Quafe is made from garbage, dirt and corpses? Why doesn't this surprise me?

Oh CCP... oh I love thee! Let me show you the way. hahaha Good one.
While I was born Amarrian, I think I would be producing Exotic Dancers like a mad man.


[[on a more serious note]]

THIS.

Exactly this. It would not take so much to add this TYPE of capability into the game making it a richer environment for not only the economy but for role play. There would be players whose sole mission would be to make exotic dancers.

Great April fool's joke! Tear and salt harvesting! I laughed so hard. Lots of funny stuff in that dev blog. The Gallente and Caldari faction Granulators were great too.

All jokes aside, the Granulators harvesting materials from corpses and then using them for booster production is excellent. That part should actually make it into the game.

Like few players above, I would love to see it in the game (with some tweaks) instead of just being a simple april joke. It would add a new kind of career and add some roleplay.

Seriously, CCP, do it.

that is hilarious, but now you need to actually turn it into something real. This is something I want.

Coworkers already think I'm a sociopath for playing EVE (and constantly undermining their careers just for lulz), so adding a cannibalistic game element would seal that deal. Cool

Anyway, as a former Slurm drinker, the Quafe ingredients are only incrementally more disturbing...

Balance question: Why does the Supercharged Blue Pill give only a 1,337% bonus to shield boosting, while the Supercharged Exile give a 9,001% increase to armor repair? Doesn't this further the already prevalent armor supercapital meta as now Apostles will be much harder to kill than Minokawas, as well as clearly favor armor tanking in general? Also, will there be side effects to these boosters? You use the same art as the Antipharmakon boosters, so I guess not?

I'm going to build a big wall that will keep the Gallente out, and they're going to pay for it!

Forgot it was April's Fool.
And thought, wtf ccp.

Would be nice though, if corpses could be salvageable to get parts of implants, if not entire implants.

Haha, if they know that their machines have been slightly modified and have a new unexpected use case? Smile
