EVE General Discussion

Their birthday, but you expect them to give you gifts, phrasing it as if it's a matter of course

This, right here, is the deterioration of the EVE community, made manifest.

My free gift wish is this:

A few weeks before the 10th anniversary, reports start coming in from the Drone regions of a new 10/10 Plex not previously encountered. These plexes drop large numbers of Superior Drone AIs, many of which subsequently make their way to high sec. Simultaneously, Hi-sec LP stores begin to demand small numbers of these AIs for a few specific items. Consequently, the AIs become widely dispersed around many of the most populated systems, and even make their way into NPC space.

On Day 0, each of these AIs becomes active. Within seconds, every single drone in the station, from the humblest Acolyte I to the mightiest Ogre II is utterly subverted, becomes semi-sentient, and utterly hostile to humanity. Drones already inside ships chew out the inside of the hull and join their bretheren in the station. Soon, massed hordes of subverted drones are attacking infected stations, reducing the defences of the station AIs with viral assaults, and pouncing on capsuleer ships on grid outside in terrible devouring swarms. Many stations fail, and begin producing vast numbers of rogue drones which begin an implacable mass incursion into human space.

Uninfected stations can still produce working drones subservient to their human masters, but even a single Superior Drone AI is sufficient to subvert a poorly defended station. A committed and desperate defence by pod pilots can save a station, but the drones only have to be lucky once. Quarantine zones are rapidly established, but humanity is is a chaotic, fractured race, and capsuleers are unable to put their grudges aside - many human stations fall due to deliberate smuggling of Superior Drone AIs by enemies of the owners.

Within weeks, the majority of human space is a seething hive of hostile sentient drones, and it takes a major co-ordinated effort to defend uninfected systems, let alone retake infected ones - even if anyone knew how to liberate those stations.

for their birthday...

Shrubberies, with a new shrubbery-transporting ship.
Snowballs, and launchers
totalhelldeath to the bots
the failure of CONCORD, and total war between the empires

I'll give CCP more sub money. (well, a few days late, but close enough)

In honour of CCP and its 10 years of having the best MMO I will do my best to fit up an officer fitted vindicator and go pvp with it till it dies, then post my loss in GD in all of its horrible glory for the people to critisise and praise CCP in their wisdom to allow me to lose so much in such a silly way.

I will accept donations.

The gift should be based on how long you been playing Eve. I mean, it make sense yes? Longer you been playing, you should be better rewarded for sticking with the company. Almost 6 years of eve is a long time, but not as long as 8+ year guys that been playing.

Hence my plan for a loot pinata

Only if it's triple-tanked.

I want 10 million SP

if you are looking for a pu$sy launcher perhaps you should try some of my pick up lines...

that usually causes them to run for the hills
