Benefits: +5% Speed, +5% Scan Resolution. Duration: 1 hour.

As a capsuleer, you are immortal. You have all eternity to seize your destiny. ShouldnÆt you have a soft drink that can perform as well as you? Quafe thinks so. ThatÆs why weÆve developed Quafe Zero.
Using the latest in cutting edge biotechnology, our industry-leading scientists have reverse-engineered Quafe Zero from compounds found only in Sleeper vessels. Quafe Zero is fortified with a proprietary mix of performance enhancers, oxidizers, and natural fruit juices designed to push your abilities to the limit.
The secret is in our patented fulleroferrocene nanite delivery system, which attaches our exclusive pro-capsuleer formula directly to the neurons you want, not the ones you donÆt. The result is an immediate and direct boost to your performance, with Zero drawbacks!
Quafe Zero is a product of the Quafe Company. Quafe does not condone the use of boosters or other illicit substances. The Quafe Company disavows responsibility for any side effects caused by consuming Sleeper technology.

It is a free gift from CCP to celebrate Eve Online's 8th Birthday. _____ When going to a party with wine, women, and song. Always ascertain the vintage of the first two.

Yeah, periodically the developers give the players a little gift. Sometimes it's one off ships that will never appear again in the game, sometimes it's snowballs and snowball launchers which allowed us to have harmless snowball fights with our space ships and sometimes (this time) it's Quafe.
Quafe is the EVE soda pop. In the EVE back story it has various attributes, not all of them nice - but mostly it's just a trade item and something to put up commercials about on the bill boards you find near jump gates. As I understand it - at one time - Quafe was an actual RL product CCP tried to sell - but it didn't do well in the real world so that got dropped.
It's also the source of player humor ... or a lack of it as the case may be ...

Not a chance.
It's kind of like when your ship gets blown up and you fly over to a station in your pod - and you get a free rookie ship - with one unit of Tritanium in it as a gratuity. You get something free to make you feel better but ... it doesn't really amount to anything.
Of all the ships they've given out ... none of them have really been any more useful than other ships that were already in the game.
So that's all this is, is something free. Look at it that way and it's a nice little thing - but it is a little thing. I mean - they didn't have to give us anything.
Now ... mostly ... what these things are good for - is if you save them for several years - then you might be able to sell them to a speculator or collector - but that's about it.
Of course - with Quafe Zero - you do get a speed and scan resolution boost - without the legal problems entailed in carting boosters about. So if you get into a fight you can pop open your bottle of Quafe and get a slight advantage for an hour.
It doesn't say anything about how many you can take or if there's a degradation to the effect the more you ingest. If you guzzle the whole six pack at once - do you get a 30% boost?
Doesn't say ...
But if you did ... then there might be a nice little contracts market for these things ... until they are all gone.

They should have named it Quafe Eight, though.

In true CCP fashion, it was planned to be a Quafe Eight, but they only could implement the top circle of the 8, and will implement the bottom SOON. After we're done drinking it, actually.

Hmm. I thought a slug Queen produces Slurm. But Quafe on the other hand, comes from Carebear tears right?
So I doubt they taste the same.

Quafe had a lemon-lime taste - like 7Up.

After 8 years of marriage you get your wife a pack of 6 can beer as a wedding gift.
She will smile and say how kindly dear!! That really shows how you love me after 8 years of devotion.

Quafe Zero is overrated - Quafe Ultra tasted way better!

You expect them to give out something that would fairly dramatically shift the balance of the game for a lot of people?
Good luck with that one. ---
