I dont get it.
Transitive verb
to thread (third-person singular simple present threads, present participle threading, simple past threaded, past participle threaded)
To pass (through a narrow constriction or around a series of obstacles).
I think I can thread my way through here, but it’s going to be tight. |

Uhm, it isn't a typo.
To thread carefully means that you move around carefully ;)
So basically, what they're saying is "move carefully around these fellows" ;P
Cheers!

The correct term is "tread carefully" as in walk softly around a sleeping bulldog.

Ah now raises the question. Was it a typo or was it the real word?

Thread CAN be used legitimately, but in this context it would be somewhat awkward. I'm pretty confident that CCP intended to put 'tread' there.

It's a typo or a bad "something" to english translation.

Well, I've never heard the word "thread" used like this although I can see it work if I really use my imagination. I even Googled both terms and the only thing I get back from "thread with care" is talking about sewing or reading forum posts carefully. "Tread with care" came back with the correct results as expected.

Ah, you're right :)
Sorry, my bad ;)
( though for some reason, www.dictionary.com agrees with both of us :O Try searching for "thread" )

Heh! I learn something new every day. It just seems a wierd way to say it. It makes me think of an old lady knitting a scarf while flying a battleship.

Sew, carefully threading my way though the posts, I would tread carefully around some respondents grammatical interpretations of the original post. No, I'm not trying to needle anyone either, just trying to make a point.

On E-ON #6, Rogue drones are called Rouge drones. (i wonder if there is a pink version of drones). There are also numerous typos where 'hangar' is spelled 'hangEr', 'then' instead of 'than', and many other silly typos that make one wonder if E-ON is made by kids.

Eh, CCP's in iceland, can't really blame 'em.
And why are you complaining? There's a contract that requires you attention! Get moving!
