Adding my voice to the chorus

Dear god please. Support this project. As I write this, it's already got 7,588 supports, but it needs more.

A Lego Rifter? That's a hundred different kinds of awesome all at the same time. It needs 10,000 supports to be considered by LEGO, and frankly they'd be insane not to get this set on the shelves. I bet my subscription half of the playerbase (at the very least) is going to want one. Hell I'll buy one for sure.


My childhood, (while not that far behind me) was full of Lego sets. I probably spent hundreds of pounds of birthday and christmas cash on the Starwars series alone, and I've no doubt that many of you were the same. Think of how many people will see this Rifter. Can you say "Free publicity" ?

I'm certain this will bring in hundreds of new subscribers to EVE. Imagine the scenario.

Maybe there's an adult strolling through the Lego section in a toyshop, looking for a set for his/her child, when he/she spies this gracing the shelves.

Admit it. You want it already

"AS SEEN IN THE AWARD WINNING MMORPG - EVE ONLINE" screams the tagline

"Oooooh" They think, "What's EVE Online?". Regardless they buy the set for their child's birthday (because it looks freaking awesome anyway), and then when they get home they check out EVE on the good old interwebs. Maybe they're intrigued. Maybe they download the trial. Then like many of us, they get hooked. And bam, another subscriber. Repeat ad infinium.

Let's face it, far more people have played with Lego sets than EVE Online. That's a huge audience CCP have a chance to flog their product to. Even if you don't particularly care for the set yourself, you have to see the logic in supporting it. It helps CCP, and in turn, you. PvPers have more new guys (and girls) to shoot at. Industry players have more people to build stuff for and make iskies from. It's a win, win, win. A win for CCP, a win for the players, and a win for Lego. Hell it's even a win for the designer because he gets a cut of the profits.


CCP have already all but confirmed they will work with the designer and Lego on this. AKA they're onboard, and there'll be no stupid copyright issues to hold it up for decades. And not only that, CCP have started a poll to see what frigates we want designed next.

So. Much. Epic.

DOO EEET

And this could go even further. What's to stop them having Lego Megathrons? Lego Hurricanes? Lego Freighters? (I'd love a Lego Providence). Hell why not Lego Capitals, and SuperCaps?

Come on people. Let's get this ball rolling. Yes you have to sign up. Yes it's slightly annoying. But it'll take you all of two minutes to add your voice to the chorus, and maybe one day soon, because of this, you'll have a shiny new Lego Rifter to admire while you play EVE.

Seriously. Just a few minutes of your time could create a world of awesome!
