Hmmm, is my eyesight failing me, or does this video on The Onion: http://www.theonion.com/video/nasa-water-on-mercury-proves-planet-could-support,30695/ feature quite a few Nyx models flying around? |

being recognised by the Onion is the greatest thing that could ever happen. (Though they could have got it write, I mean a laser Nyx, really?)
Edit: I think technically this wouldn't be covered under that as it's not parodying Eve itself, but seriously, who cares, it's the Onion. |

Yep, you know when The Onion starts using your creative works for its parodies, it means you've done well. I think it's also important to remember that parody is not meant to be taken seriously, so I approve of the use of lasers on a barrel-rolling Nyx that somehow has the manoeuvrability of a hummingbird on speed.

Now I want a model of a laser spewing barrel rolling Nyx.
In general I approve of this service and/or product. |

Also if you could sue over the Nyx, that mercury prison colony could sue us as well for showing images of it to gain attention and garnish newspaper sells. While those prisoners who rule by strength and the faulty prison warden never saw any money. |

The station itself also looks like the Nyx, larger than the ones flying around like flies and going 'pew pew pew'. And the ticker at the bottom of the screen is pretty crazy in itself. PI Profit Calculator: calculates your profits and taxes of any PI product depending on how you built them! |

Using one entities materials to parody another isn't protected. Penny Arcade and american greeting cards is an example of where legal action (just a cease and desist in PAs case) succeeded.
Only good thing really is that copyright isn't trademark, and its not lost if you are selective in enforcement, so CCP isn't forced to act (ie they can ignore uses of their material they like). |

Fair Use Act permits the use of copyright material for parody and satire under certain circumstances. This would probably be one of those circumstances. But I don't see CCP having a problem with it at all. You don't scare me. I've been to Jita. |

First you'd have to catch them. Between the nano's and lasers you might get your butts kicked:) I think they're using a stacking OGB exploit.
