A Hybrid fix that would Gallente pilots happy would be a nice christmas present.

....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced.

I keep hearing people mention it, but I don't know what it is.

What's CQ? Is it some special station where your ship doesn't spin?

So, okay.

We've got Christmas, right?

Okay, so get this.

Ready? Alright, listen.

What if ...

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

From the picture on their winter expansion preview page - ie the Yellow imcus, Rust/Silver Brutix, Black/red Navitas, blue and black (forgive me if this is the wrong ship type) navy comet, silver and black tristan, i'd say its custom ship skins.

But feel free to keep guessing random stuff!

These aren't new ships, they're existing ships with their new textures.
But of course this process allows for alternate textures.

You're all wrong although one guess was vaguely close.

Why are people qq'ing over getting something for free, **** not many other MMO's bother bar a free christmas trees and **** quests is all they get. Hell i'm usually whining over something but the christmas thing is a nice thing to get to be honest.


It'd be nice if it was something perhaps lore related or something, perhaps another jovian ship (one of the shuttles was an old jove frigate model iirc). And for anyone wanting a specific type of ship, don't get me wrong, a combat ship would be nice but with so many fucktons of pilots flying all different types of stuff it simply ain't doable.


Failing that, asteroid cloak.

A six-pack of Quafe-Nog

Consuming one can of Quafe-Nog gives you 'Christmas Cheer' for 10 minutes of double resistance on your ships Shield, Armor and Hull statistics.

However, due to the slowly decreasing lingering effects and strict laws pertaining to operating vehicles while under the influence, only one can of Quafe-Nog may be consumed every half hour.





And for the CQ.:

Probably more like:
