Okay… I admit it. **You got me CCP.** I came on here to complain about the “daily requirements” of ERIC: - ``` 1000x Spirits ``` - ``` 1000x Tobacco ``` - ``` 500x Long-limb Roes ``` - ``` 500x Synthetic Oil ``` - ``` 500x Hydrogen Batteries ``` - ``` 1x Homeless ``` - ``` 1x Janitor ``` I didn’t even finish reading the blog… I was so incensed I came here to say it was a silly idea. Well done CCP. 😅 ---

I like the idea of AI assistant to players. May be you can make it a real offer instead of an April fool joke. You could make three types of ERIC for players to choose, but only one can be hired as an assistant at any time. First type, a combat ERIC, it helps player to scramble, web and provide firepower support to players in a combat situation. Second type, a logistics ERIC, it repairs shield, armour and buff ECM resistant to players. Third type, a hauler ERIC, it helps players to haul mines, loot and salvage npc ship wrecks. Everybody can get what they want and you can make this game more fun to many new and old players. ---

Another attempt at entertaining EVE Online players resulting in higher employee payroll expenses, instead of finally introducing something we have been willing to pay for, like the 3d printed models of the ships in the game. **I love my Quad-Port USB hub Minmatar rare collectible. And I really like getting more stuff related to our collectible code card from that.** Many of us have seen the postings on here regarding the failure of the levitating Nyx. But not many have seen the 3d printed models from other players, showing how easily this can be done. So now I want to get CCP to Start This Project so we can finally support the game we love with items in our real life, like the collectible box Minmatar ship that is also a USB 4 port hub - Let’s go. And Also, allow us to choose the SKIN when we order it. ---
