My favourite so far is the humungous space cockroach drones that appear in some missions. When I first saw them I submitted a 'bug' report (of course) and received a reply that "this is a known issue".

I've only seen them twice, on the same lvl4 mission on two different occasions. They do not appear to be there for the whole mission and you have to drag your screen perspective around a bit to get to see them, and even then they easily move in and out of view. You can't lock them or otherwise interact with them.

Clearly others have met these guys (http://i.imgur.com/yK1e1.jpg) and their screenshots are way better than mine.



I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Oh and theres also a decent collection of trashloot from combat LADAR sites like:

Free Sample
- The first one is always free.

Flower Power Powder
- Oddly smelling powder presumably used by pirates in some of their more exotic formulas.

The Little Pirate That Could
- Inspirational story if there ever was one. Fills every pirate wannabe with pride.

Sweet Leaves
- Don't grow too fond of them.

Speedometer
- Just how drugged are you?

Seasoned Dandruff
- What this has to do with booster manufacturing is anybody's guess.

Pillaging 101
- This informative brochure contains helpful diagrams and elaborate tutorials on how to effectively function as a successful brigand. Key chapters include:

Priority Pillaging – Triage style tactics for post-combat logistics
Pursuing Passersby – Why anonymity is more useful than infamy
Punishing Pirates – What to do with a drunken crewman early in the morning

This handy guide could turn even the noblest capsuleer into a ruthless raider in just a few short years of night courses.

17 Successful Torture Techniques
- You can only wonder about the dedication in filtering the successful techniques from the unsuccessful ones.

Test Bong
- A curious device used by pirates to test their own product. Seems heavily used.

And these are just the ones I know of :D

CCP at some point decided to nerf them by giving them a more PC description. LAME.

Cold Turkey (item): "From what little information you can garner the pirates seemed severely afraid of encountering cold turkeys and were researching ways to counter them. Why frozen poultry would frighten space pirates so is anybodies guess."

Synthetic Coffee (item): "This stimulating aromatic drink, made out of dried, roasted and ground seeds, is a particular favorite among scientists and software engineers."

Confirming that science would grind to a halt without almost-coffee.


My favourite little comedy things in EVE include the Device, the error message when you try to put one Giant Secure Container inside another, and the way that drones playfully ignore what you tell them to do occasionally.

I've found a few good things in the past - the funniest has to be a sign in a mission site that reads: "WARNING: Watch out for the sign". I do have a screenshot on my last computer but I'd have to dig it out.

Also anyone ever has that amarr lowsec level 1 mission that has you finding dolls for an agent? It's a 4 or 5 part mission and he slowly goes more and more insane throughout the thing, eventually ordering you to kill his childhood friend who is putting dolls everywhere. The whole episode was hilarious.

I actually had the doll mission in high-sec, but, yeah it's pretty nutty.

Another one is when you join a fleet, and then try to jump, it gives you a message "Never thought smacktalk with the fleet would hold me up for X seconds."

Take a look at the number of kills in EC-P8R system (http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Pure_Blind/EC-P8R#kills24) and then read the description of EC-P8R system in-game.

If you're on autopilot and you try to manually jump through a gate when the autopilot is jumping you'll get the message:

"Automatic override. Manual control overridden by autopilot. Please wait for operation to complete. You can override the automatic autopilot override in 28 seconds. Then you can make it wait"
