Just would like to mention (again) how much I appreciate all the hard work and effort and constant planning that CCP and all its employees keep investing into all the "new and exciting" stuff that awaits those of us that spend our time traveling endlessly around the Eve universe. I particularly enjoyed the Tranquility Tech III article and also the wonderfully complete coverage of Fanfest, thanks

Few years ago, "southern" regions. I was hacking a can, local was empty. Suddenly someone jumps in. baltec1. I'm starting to spam d-scan. BS popped on. BS!? nah...back to hacking Blink

Although I don't know whether to believe (or not believe) this week's info about this from CCP, I sorta like the whole concept of the Upwell Organic Mass Granulator as a real usable piece of equipment. Thinking about how this could change the dynamics of whether to pod or not pod someone, even in locations where automatic penalties exist for podding, sounds like a concept that could prove to be interesting if done properly. It's possible that players might even be motivated to get together with their friends to pod each other over and over and then share the resulting profits from all the corpses floating around. And pilots in high sec might become more valuable as a gank target if their corpse was added to the equation. There's probably lots of things that this could affect in the game so I'm hoping that this week's posting was not just another April fool's joke from CCP. And that they are actually thinking about possibly working on this idea.

The Meatus Popsicullus and Organic Mass Granulator sounds like some kind of capsuleers discrimination. Isn't it?

The heroes of great battles should be buried...

Slaves + Water -> Freed Slaves + Water and Wheat -> Elite Slaves... really?
