Hail fellow Pod Pilots...
and you CSM buggers 
I've already posted a version of this in "Features and Ideas" but it was also suggested to me to post something here.
So, as it was several Mates and I were floating at a gate waiting for someone stupid, discussing the usual .. you know how it goes... Life the Universe, and Whats gonna get nerfed in the next patch.. when it occured to me that there is a fundemental FLAW in the game of eve..
There are no Towels...
We searched the Data bases.. heads in jars... the little pirate that could.. seasoned dandruff... but not a single towel...
Now with the Promise of Ambulation, we shall be exiting our Pods to once again walk the stations.. With Dust 514 on the horizon we shall be battleing for Planets.. but will we be doing it with sticky POD juice all over us?
I propose the introduction of Towels be placed as a Priority! imagine the awkwardness of being caught just stepping out of the POD without your towel!
Not to mention this *is* a space game..
So Don't Panic!  and lets try and get this towely situation straightened out.
I hope I can count on your support.
Best Regards,
Tribe

...I want to wet mine and use it in PvP. Yes, I think this should definitely be added as one of those little easter egg items. I'd keep one in my hold at all times!
 Quote:
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

I fail to see why there are no towels in the game, TOWELS ARE OUR LIFE. Towels mean we can be prepared for any situation, with the trusty towel by our side I'm sure even the most scared of carebears will venture into low-sec to brave the pirate hordes.

Damn. If only I'd thought to include this in my CSM platform, I'd have been a lock for the chairmanship. Argh!
But seriously (or at least, as seriously as possible), this would make for a hilarious anniversary gift from CCP to the players.
Furthermore, the initial proposal doesn't go far enough. We clearly need faction towels.

Maybe towels are considered dangerous and have therefore been banned by the powers of New Eden? A tool too multifunctional, too powerful, too destructive to leave in the hands of the common people?
Well, I am not a part of 'the common people'! I am a capsuleer! I demand this ban to be lifted!
At least for us capsuleers that is, the common man can find him/her self something else to dry them with after taking a shower.

Pity none of us immortals can dry off after leaving the pod. Do we cluster in little gooey clutches at the bar while the mundanes drift past scrunching their noses at the stench?

And I too support this. We need more multifunction tools in EVE. With Apocrypha we added Strategic Cruisers, the very definition of versatility and multiple purposes. We need towels too! (and can I get a spork while we're at it?)

+42.
I'd also suggest that every pod exit chute should have, in large friendly letters, the words DON'T PANIC inscribed on the inside, so that as you disembark, you forget about the impending unpleasant goo shower. It may indeed be unpleasantly like being drunk.

Now that we are able to manufacture bacteria from PI, the imminent threat of impetigo and syphilis from sharing pod goo looms dark and menacing over the proclivities of all soon-to-be-walking-in-stations capsuleers.
These towels are all that stand in the way of these tiny microscopic barbarians. We cannot allow the capsuleer community to fall over like special effects from War of the Worlds.

Everyone knows that towels are a NECESSARY in space.
...Come on, CCP, where's the Hitch-hiker love?
Think about it..
WHAT IF..
..Goonswarm had access to towels on that fateful day, and had entrapped Karttoon within their fluffy embrace, thereby protecting Delve..
..The SC had access to towels, to blanket acrossed the table when they go over war plans, in case somebody spills a sippy cup on the critical invasion plans for H-W.
..the rumors are true, and the NC used DevHax towels as giant warp disruption fields, picking ships from the very fabric of space into... well.. erm.. fabric.

Fellow Capsuleers, we need to create a movement if we are to realize the warm fluffyness and security that is Towels.
We need a grass roots.. err.. . An Astro-TurfÖ movement and I have a just the plan to get things going, and EVERYONE can be a part.
Towels by nature are essential to everyone. Minners, Industrialists, Traders, PVPer's aven Gankers need 'em.
You can do your part if raising towelness (towely awareness) by anchoring a can in space where ever you go ... fill the space lanes with Cans linking this thread untill we have raised towelness to a point that "The powers that be" bless us with towels.
Would you rather receive a new Velator or Ibis from Pend insurance with a Towel in the cargo .. or a lump of Tritanium?
TOWELS I say!.
And dont stop there... If' your a trader setting up a contract include a Book Mark named.. "Don't you wish this were a towel" with a link here.
If you're a miner Name your dropped cans "XX's Towel" so that everyone knows you support towels.. and make sure to have linkage ready to send people here.
If you PvP or Gank .. after you service your "customer" ask them if they wish they had a towel now? Then link them here.
Together we can make a difference..
I have a dream .. I dream of a day when everyone has towels.. when its ok if your can gets flipped, or if you blow up in a mission .. or you get concorded because your sec status dropped..
Because....
You have a Towel.
We can do this. Don't be limited by my suggestions.. use your imagination and someday... I promise you ... you too will cry into a towel.
