Ship Issues (Trigger Warning: Crustaceans)

The issue I have with one of the EVE ships may be be a little strange, but bear with me; I have an industrial character that I trained into a "Prorator Space-Ship" in order to fly blueprints to and from an office in the same system as the POS I just set up. I did this on the advice of other players in my main corporation that it had the highest potential capacity and best alignment speed; what I didn't account for was the fact that the ship bears an uncanny resemblance to a Horseshoe Crab (non-Americans, feel free to google it). When I was 8 or 9, I was at a beach in south Florida and had one of these animals crawl over my foot; this traumatized me beyond words. Now I become violently ill whenever I see this ship, and I'd rather avoid taking the time to train into a different Covert Ops. Long question short, is there a way to switch ship models (just for me, of course) that isn't breaking the EULA? It'd be great if I could make the Prorator look like a Badger (or whatever).

No, you can't switch models. But if you're just flying blueprints around why not use a nano frig?

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Sometimes when I post, I look at my sig and wish that I'd follow my own god damned advice.

I tried googling Nano Frig but didn't come up with anything, could you elaborate on what that is?

A fast frigate with 'nanofiber internal struture' mods in all the lows. They have tiny sig radius' (so other ships lock slower) and align really, really fast.

Transporting BPOs in same system to a POS using a transport ship... how many BPOs you transporting bro? Got some Cargo Expanders on there do ya? You maybe got a couple T2 Cargohold Optimization rigs on there to help out with the bulkiness of that cargo? Maybe even made a couple trips... naw you got this.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Stewie and Bryan make that show what it is.

I am confident that your future blueprint shipments will be even more secure once your Badgers arrive.

You are aware that space crabs infest all space ships in EvE?

How do you fly a blueprint? Is this like a paper airplane thing?
Flying carpet?
It doesn't even have wings, man.

I think the solution to your problem has less to do with training for a different ship and more to do with making an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Horseshoe Crab blood is used to make medicine that saves the lives of an awful lot of human beings every year.

You should embrace the Horseshoe crab! In fact, a vial of Horseshoe Crab blood would make a really cool item for a mission!

My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.

I wonder if OP's Prorator will bleed blue....

Horseshoe crab blood is also blue because the protein it uses (hemocyanin) uses copper instead of the iron our blood uses (hemoglobin).

Ergo Garrus is a Horseshoe Crab... Wait what? Shocked

7. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.


12. Spamming, bumping and pyramid quoting are prohibited.

Spam is defined as the repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users. This includes “first” and “go back to another game” posts. Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Petitions or "/signed" posts are a version of bumping and likewise are not permitted. Pyramid quoting is a response to a forum thread that contains the quotes of four or more previous posters, sometimes with additional spaces added unnecessarily. Posts of this nature are not conducive to community spirit and are unwelcome.
