The Group of VIPs items has a description which reads:

Very important people. Business executives, politicians, diplomats and game designers.


The skill Thermodynamics has this text:

Advanced understanding of the laws of thermodynamics. Allows you to deliberately overheat a ship's modules in order to push them beyond their intended limit. Also gives you the ability to frown in annoyance whenever you hear someone mention a perpetual motion unit. Reduces heat damage by 5% per level.


The Retriever mining barge got a paint job about 10 months ago. It now has yellow. It is now a golden retriever.


EvE has these cute little things like this littered all over the place. They're especially common if you read what your agent says in the mission descriptions.

In some spots you can find a Space Odyssey monolith floating around

If you do, make sure you read the description :)

Years ago, I remember finding a mission arc that was full of references to Dr. Strangelove, complete with an NPC called Gen. Turgidson.

Also, look at the initials of the range of target painter modules.

These are just a few of the old ones I remember as a player. There's plenty of others, but you'll have to find them yourself (or just wait for someone to post spoilers...)

One of my favorites is when you (accidentally we hope) try to put a ship in its own cargo bay.

Some of the session change messages are kinda funny.

"Just stepping out to find a bush. Depending on the location of the bush, this might take up to 10 seconds."
"You cannot do that in the presence of a jump field. And you know how those jump fields are. Better wait 10 seconds."

Try putting the ship you are in into a trade window. "You cannot trade this ship, as there are people on board." Leave ship, do it again - now it works. So you want to tell me that the several thousand man crew of a battleship evacuated in a few seconds?

Last, look up the description of the Hull Tanking Elite certificate.

I wish there would be a little Tea Pot that would randomly spawn in a system, and the only way to find it would be to scan it down with combat probes.

Sites that make people go dozens of jumps into hostile territory, spending hours almost dying to pirates, NPCs and frustration, only to be rewarded with completely empty loot cans, or worse, 1x Metal Scraps Twisted

I would LOVE to see this:

-Chocolate Teapot-

- Thanks to advances in thermodynamics, thermal expansion and a firm understanding of subatomic manipulation, this chocolate teapot can be used just like a regular teapot.

Some time ago the description for Prostitute was simply "A bad woman"

It's also beyond anyones guess what Seasoned Dandruff has to do with booster manufacturing
