EVE Online/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Freud Was Right]]: [http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/item.php?type_id=12021 The Phobos class heavy interdictor], while all ships based off the Thorax hull look like "Marital Aids", the Phobos stands out because it's pink!

** The Gallenteans are generally suggested to be quite libidinous.

* [[Goddamned Bats]]: NPCs have the Spider Drone. Players have the infinitely more frustrating ECM drones.

** The player ones are flimsy. The Spider Drone is [[Made of Iron]].

* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Their were in-game protests—which ended up locking down major market hubs on the busiest day of the week—during the Incarna expansion, over a leaked internal newsletter.

** This came on the heels of fury over CCP's plans to begin licensing their API. Only developers who wanted to monetize their work would be charged a fee ($99 US), but the community reacted as if CCP was about to drain their bank accounts, burn their houses, and suck their children's blood.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]] (Everyone involved in doing [http://eve.klaki.net/heist/ this.])

** Although there is a strong contender in the Goonswarm spy who got director control of Band of Brothers, collapsing the largest and oldest alliance in EVE and unleashing a [[Critical Existence Failure]] on their sovereign holdings in space.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

** That's a Templar!

** Poitot! It's the only named system in syndicate!

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvA6k_-IAak#t=12m39s Hero Tank!]

*** A ''really'' bad fitting <ref>(technical explanation) Among other things, excessive stacking of modules that shouldn't be stacked, use of noncombat modules on slots typically reserved for weaponry on PvE ships, a module only useful in PvP, defensive modules equipped on both mid and low slots (redundant, typically even dedicated [[An Adventurer Is You|"tanking"]] ships are either shield or armor tanked and fit the other set of slots with more useful modules) made his ship rather inefficient. At least he didn't try [[Last Chance Hit Point|hull]] [[Too Dumb to Live|tanking...]]</ref> on a ship not particularly suited for the mission, then he kept repeating that post over and over again (the latter not actually being his fault -- he got up from the computer and came back to find his son banging on the keyboard).

** SOON? (When referring to if promised content will ever be released/bugs fixed).

** Actually ANY of the methods of torture chronicles are this the Caldari one seems to be the most [[Mind Rape|insidious]].

** When you want to delete a character, you will be asked to confirm with "Are you sure you want to convert this character to biomass?" If you select yes, you will be treated to sounds of heavy machinery, followed by screaming.

* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: ''Every'' single patch, expansion pack, dev blog, new payment option, spat of alliance drama, influx of new players, or minor fluctuation in the average temperature of Iceland is heralded as the death of EVE.

** The latest would be Dust 514, an online FPS that will be designed to interact directly with Eve itself. That means victories and defeats in Dust 514 having a real impact on things going on up in capsuleer space. Cue some capsuleers lamenting that their space sovereignty might soon depend on mouth-breathing [[Halo]] fanboys, as this would be how they view any potential FPS community.

* [[That One Level]]: Jita, the largest trade hub which is often so overcrowded that death by lag is commonplace there.

** Jita has the dubious honour of being the only high-security system marked in the player-made sovereignty maps displaying who owns territory - with a gigantic, ominous black cloud.
