how come 8 turret hardpoints = 16+ weapons that can only fire at a maximum of 8 people at a time, if there is an enemy on the left and right of my ship i should be able to fire at both.

Clearly, you've failed to buy enough slaves to fire weapons on both broadsides.
Try making your slaves hot-rack; works for me.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

The Damsel? is she really that stupid that she keeps going to Krulls pleasure hub and can't find a lift home?

I would ask how much Krull is paying for his clone fees but he doesn't seem to have that many skill points. Honestly, on any given day how many times does he get blown up?

You all realize the reason our ships fly like submarines is space is choked full of Krull DNA....

I always thought is was a different Damsel each time. Why don't we have a Damsel education program? "This is how not to get kidnapped and turned into a slave...".

When we recover Krull's DNA, why can't we clone him? I wouldn't mind having a Krull clone around. Maybe he could set up a private Pleasure Hub for me.

Edit: Whoops, make that Pleasure Garden, not Pleasure Hub. Accuracy in posting-- there can be no compromises!Smile

Hi folks! I've given the thread a little cleaning, removed a few off topic posts and what not.

I'm seeing some really amusing and genuinely interesting questions being asked. Just make sure you keep it about EVE, and within the rules though please. Thanks and have fun - ISD Type40.

Because of the high-probability of the weapons discharging in your hold. Insurance liablility is just too high.

Firstly, shields.

Secondly, Civilian Painter modules. Similar in concept to Civilian Armor Repairers, Civilian Painters are so trivial for a space station to fit that they're automatically included for "free" and keep the station's exterior graffiti free even from laser etching.

Because then you'd do away with the entire Minmatar line of ships in one fell salvaging act. Blink

Why is there no Cowboy hats and Boots as options for my Avatar. If we can fit 3900 M3 in a container size of 3000M3 we can surley have Cowboy hats.

Why doess Quafe not offer T-shirts in their LP store, I am real jelous of all the people that have one and it's not fair!! *stomps feet*

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

For that matter, can we hack other pilots' stuff? Like, infect their drones with a virus that makes them fly away and join the rogue colonies? Or make their ships' sound generators fail. (Ships play simulated weapons discharge and weapons impact noise, you know. Otherwise it would be absolutely silent in space, and we'd all go bonkers). How about a hack that makes the ship's system play AC/DC "Thunderstruck" instead? Like happened to the PCs at Iran's nuclear program. The PVP hacking possibilities are endless!

I would like CCP to put up a killboard for miners, see who is the greatest asteroid killer of em all, when the computer says "the asteroid is depleted" I don't hear that... I hear, "the asteroid is defeated" I beat my chest like a gorilla every time I hear that.Pirate

YES!

Excellent! I'd personally load my hacking modules with Lawrence Welk and over-write my foe's music files. I'd win many a fight by pilot ejection and/or self-destruct. Whole systems would dock-up when my name hit Local! The bounties on me would be enormous! Twisted

Dude. The drones are already infected by a virus from the manufacturer. They do fly away and join the rogue drones of eve.

That's no virus, drones have no AI they are controlled by cats or their descendants.

Reasoning: They wander off and do their own thing, completely ignore your commands and up until recently the rogue ones would crap in the sandbox when you killed them, ergo drones are spaceships for cats.

Edit, they also don't like hunting in packs, if you lose them and someone else finds them as long as they get let out occasionally to kill stuff they're fine with it, don't come back when they're called and will generally try and fight the biggest toughest opponent that they can find, sounds feline to me.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
