Also... put repair services in the Rens trade hub FFS!!


6 out of 7 stations in Rens have repair facilities, change your home station? Lol


All the other trade hubs have repair. Why should I change, it's just an outdated part of EVE.

Jita 4-4 has no repair last time I checked.


Jita 4-4 does have a repair facility.

OK. Here is the best idea EVER.

Make it possible to put corpse's into the festival launcher... maybe instead of a firework we get a nice blood splatter?

Nothing would "make me mad bro" like someone shooting me with my own corpse!!

(i'd like to give a bit of credit for this idea to thav)

I enthusiastically endorse this idea. I wanted the same thing when snowball launchers came out.

I may or may not have a long-winded rant about how without Corpse Launchers the game will inevitably die that I give to any of my coworkers who aren't fast enough to escape.



I'm thinking the Holiday launcher could be modified to provide a "fireworks" effect when using a corpse...

This makes perfect sense if you consider implants. Implant materials would determine the colors of the "impact"


Different point: I thought corpses were already classified as biomass and were part of the PI chain. Aghast at CCP's broken circle of lif.. isk.

C'mon! You make them TAW before you shoot the corpses.

Or add a descriptive on the Corpse Launcher I module, that says it taws the corpse before processing it into a 'splat' ammunition.

OP +1


There is nothing to thaw but dry dessicated tissue that will remain dry and dessicated.

It would just be like the pieces of shriveled chicken meat in your Ramen Noodle package.

The water is gone.

I'd rather corpses were processable for either implant components or regular minerals.

I'd prefer minerals, mainly so I can build myself a ship from the dead bodies of my enemies ¬_¬

I approve of Corpse Launchers as long as there is a satisfying splat or oldschool podsquish sound accompanied with the impact.

I also would like corpses to be able to be strapped to my hulls 'reaver' style for that awesome demoralization effect.

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

Hmm, that's gooing to be a lot of work, collecting all these corpses. May I humbly suggest, that salvage drones get a corpse collection program so that they can be sent out to salvage a battlefield for corpses?

But I want the corpsicle* launcher.

Will FACTION corpses be available at the LP store ? I mean, those "biomass" toons have to be good for something... Blink

Would that be similar to the process they use to simulate bird strikes on Jet engines?

Shooting frozen chickens from a "chicken cannon" into working Jet engines sounds like it would be a laugh tbh.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

So what are we looking at, kinetic damage?

Perhaps if the corpse had a 5 course Mexican bean dinner before death, we could have some explosive damage too, maybe some thermal.

(heck you don't have to be dead to do that. I am proof)

Back when WiS was going to be a real thing (beyond CQ), one of the major features CCP talked about was corpse displays.

If any of these ideas come true I might have to add frozen corpses to my overview...
