Right.... In the levle 2 mission "The Blood Raider Spys," An LCO in space in the mission is called "Black Monolith," and is, ahem, a Black Monolith floating in space, a reference to 2001: A Space Odessy..


So.. Which of you CCP folks are responcible?...


And Ahhh... Why dosen't Arua Eject my pod because the mission is too important to fail?

The Black Monoliths actually appear in many locations all over New Eden and beyond. They might have started out as an Easter Egg, but there appears to be more EVE Lore relations to them these days.

I wrote some IC speculations on the subject here.

Have you watched their videos on Youtube? More obvious reference there.

There are Monoliths in some WH sites too.

If you can milk it, it's an udder.

... implying there's such a thing as "too much 2001: A Space Odyssey"... What?
