Hmmm, is my eyesight failing me, or does this video on The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/video/nasa-water-on-mercury-proves-planet-could-support,30695/ feature quite a few Nyx models flying around?

I wonder if China will take this one a little too seriously as well and start threatening Australia's offworld endeavours....

being recognised by the Onion is the greatest thing that could ever happen. (Though they could have got it write, I mean a laser Nyx, really?)

Edit: I think technically this wouldn't be covered under that as it's not parodying Eve itself, but seriously, who cares, it's the Onion.

Yep, you know when The Onion starts using your creative works for its parodies, it means you've done well. I think it's also important to remember that parody is not meant to be taken seriously, so I approve of the use of lasers on a barrel-rolling Nyx that somehow has the manoeuvrability of a hummingbird on speed.

Man I just love the Nyx. Whomever designed it is by default my hero.

Now I want a model of a laser spewing barrel rolling Nyx.

In general I approve of this service and/or product.

Also if you could sue over the Nyx, that mercury prison colony could sue us as well for showing images of it to gain attention and garnish newspaper sells. While those prisoners who rule by strength and the faulty prison warden never saw any money.

When Saturday night live used a hel in one of their episodes, ccp liked it enough to tweet about it. I doubt they'd be upset over the onion.

That was pretty funny. But a Nyx Supercarriers acting like fighters...

I have a mental image of Nimitz's with jet engines launching of a giant F-18 and dog fighting each other now.

Someone needs to teach the Onion how to fit their ships, or they'll soon have an embarrassing loss mail.

More embarrassing then the Dev's fitting Smartbombs to their Supers for Live Events and getting Concorded?
