A DBRB fleet.

A vital condition is that the devs sign a waiver with CCP, DBRB and Mittens clearing them of any responsibility over the irreversible emotional and mental damage it will inflict. The damages awarded would shut CCP down for good.

As if even DBRB could cause more damage than the POS setup UI.

Cyno's lit, bridge is up, but one pilot won't be jumping home.

Grab a large stack of modules (mostly of the same type). Next, fit them all, in full-rack cycles, to the ship with the largest number of slots of that type.

When that's done, select all the items, along with some you didn't fit, and try to sell them.

Repeat this until you can't remember why you decided repackaging and the lack of a "fit all" button should be things.

10 invention or manufacturing slots, 7 clicks each (Devs apparently don't understand the concept of "default selection") x 3 characters.
210 clicks to get 30 slots running, assuming you don't mis-click....


Make it 17 characters on component assembly arrays, using 5 freighter loads worth of input materials.

I do this, for 102 planets, since a year+ Cry


And make at least 1 in 6 planets a factory planet, while always making sure that the output is worth more than the input.

Remember that whenever you have a bad day in EVE, the correct reponse is "Thank you CCP, may I please have another?"

Hand them any battleship blueprint, stuff them in a Retriever, point them at an asteroid belt and tell them they can't leave until the ship has begun construction.

Afterward, make them write a 500 word dev post on why botting is not allowed.

Good point, mining in its current state is about as interesting as watching paint dry.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

So, what horrible player task would you like to have a Dev experience?

To be fair, Grendell, you should take up the challenge that the Devs face. For example, plow through the 56+ pages of the most recent "little things" thread (see https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=167795 ). Your task: separate the posted ideas from the trolls and the discussion, then organize the ideas, then rate them as to difficulty and desirability. Finally, create a "sales pitch" (for management) listing the ideas most worthy of pursuit (in rank order) along with cumulative effort (so management can draw a "cut line" at some point).

Be CCP Punturis and post on the furms for a day.

For every creep post made they must deal with a petition about losing a ship to goons. A shot/bounty bar for every creep post is optional.


You'd be shooting a lot of your own alliance then...

Having him scan down a system full with 50 signatures on one planet. The planet in question obviously needs to have 14 moons, 23 asteroid belts, 2 stations and a landmark beacon.

Enjoy your tooltips.

So you want CCP to ban the best multitasking capital FC in the game?

join FW, move into a friendly FW system and try to defend it for a week. This includes catching cloaking thrashers and stabbed firetails which have 0 interest in any kind of pvp.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

Anchor and online a large POS and enough modules to fully use up the grid or cpu.

Do anything involving corp roles more complex than making someone a director.
