I would like to see a developer shipyard located somewhere ingame. When developers clock in for work their ships warp in to the yard, in this way players could visibly see the time logged.

The vessels would obviously be immune to conflict and would add to the ambience of the game. Would let developers show their personal ship selections and add dynamic content.

The system chosen would undoubtedly form into a trade hub, in this way CCP would provide the grain of sand that makes the pearl. The system should be in a highsec system that is infrequently visited.

Because they don't have enough pointless requests as it is.

At least the OP's request is original.

A really strange, somewhat entertaining idea. However, I don't think CCP people clock in as their work atmosphere is very much against keeping track of an employee's time and instead looking at the results. Even if they promised their employees that this was only for fun, it would no doubt create a backlash within the organization.

I believe this system should be implemented, but with a twist... people are allowed to fire on the docking CCP ships, but if a CCP employees ship is destroyed, their name is automatically removed from the payroll!

It would be an interesting experiment to see how many true sociopaths live in this game, as each dev kill brings EvE online closer to collapse. Would the sociopaths be able to hold back their mental illness in order to save their game, or would they cave into their urges and be forced to destroy the game they love so dearly?

That question is too easy

Very original, but way too stalky! I don't want to see a forum post saying "Wow Guard sure hasn't had a holiday in a while", or "Quick, Navigator's at work, let's rob his house" Shocked

Will shipyard bowling cause them to eject out of the CCP HQ?

I give OP a solid 8/10 for a cool idea.

People working in development roles don't 'clock in'.

That's fine, I don't think you need to worry. Navigator's not gonna have anything worth stealing. Lol

When they go into their inevitable circle jerking, back patting parade for every dev blog where they promise the world and deliver none of it, would the ships visibly hump each other?

Edit: Also would be lolztastic to see a grand total of 3 ships there for the entire summer months after the expansion.
