Clear glasses added to the character creator because capsuleers of steel need their disguises.


There is an old cartoon show called superman, and they just made a movie about it.

See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman:_The_Man_of_Steel

He is the man of steel, his disguise alter-ego is Roger Kent
Who wears big glasses.

Mild Mannered Reporter is actually a alien from the moon of krypton.


They call him the "man of steel" because he is bulletproof.


<3 These hidden cultural references =)

lol sorry I got it confused with the family guy alien who did roger kent =)

The Alien's name is roger so I guess they swapped the first name for comedic effect.

In Eve, one does not need glasses to hide his/her/its secret identity.

That's what alts are for.




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

Are they going to let Amarr wear glasses now? Apparently it's against their religion, they can only wear hoods.

But if we are wearing glasses, are we stil allowed to fly spaceships? I heard bad eye vision is usually the no go on exams for pilots.

Those are not common glasses, those are ultra sophisticated VD glasses with chips plugged in with astronomic number of intelligent nanites providing you all the information you need whenever you blink, the future is now.

I don't think he really did need to. He probably just thought the quote wasn't enough text so he spiced it up.
