I was looking through custom made hot air balloons and noticed that there are some very interesting designs out there ranging from Yoda and Darth Vader Hot Air Balloons to cake balloons.
This got me to thinking. Why can't CCP have a company design a hot air balloon off of lets say the Hurricane of Venture in game model to then be used for advertisement purposes as well as giving fans a ride at Fan Fest shows? How awesome would it be to take a ride for a few hours in the Hurricane Hot Air Balloon Ride at the next Fan Fest?
Maybe even get Eve Online involved with airship racing where smaller ships such as Interceptors are custom made and then raced at Fan Fest events.
The company below is the most well known dealing with custom designed hot air balloons.

Because the 'cane is so awesome that everyone would confuse it for an alien invasion and try and shoot it down.

That would be a good thing for numerous reasons. The alien invasion comment.
I am certain that CCP would inform local air traffic control about launching their balloons. The FFA doesn't look to kindly on balloons traveling through commercial airline space without being told about it first. |

Humour bypass detected.
When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading 'Guns and Ammo', masturbating in your own faeces...do you just stop and go, 'Wow! It is amazing how f*cking crazy I really am!'?

Hot air balloon? Novelty at best imo. Now blow up models? Like the air shows often have might work better as give aways or grab bags for things like Fan fest or other player fests. Would even work in the eve store if it ever gets going again as the shipping would be negligible to say the least.
Something like these
Inflatable Airplanes

I'm sure CCP will jump on this idea as soon the check you send to finance it clears the bank! (This would of course include the cost of training up a crew to fly the thing!) Your generosity has been duly noted!
+1 fridge gold star for this one!

"Hot air balloon"? Will that be powered by CCP explanations or player forum discussions?
To buck the popular trend, I began to Rage Start instead of Rage Quit.
...and every time I get another piece of Carbon, I know exactly what CCP is getting this Christmas.

Hot air balloons? I say use a Zeppelin using hydrogen gas as buoyancy. At least we'll get a nice explosion! |

I suspect a Rifter shaped balloon will be a bit unstable and difficult to control. |

Lots of people don't even allow ads to load. Ads are obnoxious and a very nice malware delivery platform, and it only takes one good infestation before we say "no more."

Oh not the first time this has been brought up.
I'd buy a rifter or a mega but no poop shaped ones thanks
There are good ships
And wood ships
And ships that sail the sea
But the best ships are
Spaceships
Built by CCP

It definitely could be used to make some extra $ at Fan Fest.

It is still stupid, but since it has nothing to do with the game definitely the best do far.

There's already Farrfylnurrfyl the pony you can ride at fanfest. The poor thing spends the rest of the year doing inter-office deliveries for CCP and being ridden by Hilmar on inspection tours, and you want to deny it the one time it feels a sense of giving purpose? You are a horrible human being.

Would be hilarious if they did an Orca or freighter and the Goons ponied up to do a Machriel and bumped the hell out of it.
