BBC (uk) coverage of the Olympics has a short sound effect used when switching between shots. Its sounds like minmatar guns... anyone able to compare the two and post them for comparison. Maybe CCP is owed some royalties...:)Cool

They only way it could have been better is if Borris charged into a croud of rioters on a horse screaming a battlecry of "Whats all this piffle? Enough with you Oiks!"

Personally, I was holding out for an appearance by the Tardis and/or Dr. Who. Something along the lines of the Tardis appearing in the Queen's box, a shadowy figure whispering something the Queen's ear, and then disappearing into and along with the Tardis.

Fairly sure i remember reading a dev saying that some of (but not all) sounds like that, are actually gotten from some open source website where anyone can use the sound in whatever application they want. I doubt every sound/graphic is owned by CCP.

Opening ceremony was great and all, but it needed more Dr. Who.

I personally would love to purchase a dove bike rider as well as a dove bike on the EVE-O marketplace.


15 million isk for dove bike rider and 20 million for dove bike.


My FC needs them for his collection which equates to me making profits.
