Commanders, the day of this reward's launch marks the 10th anniversary of Elite Dangerous! To celebrate, we have a cool challenge for you, with prizes fit for the occasion. We want you to design your dream ship for Elite Dangerous. We're mostly interested in the aesthetics of the ship, so create something cool - whether in blueprint form, illustration, or other artistic medium. That said, we'd also like you to tell us a bit about the ship: what unique features it would have, what its strengths would be, and what you'd name it!

As well as 15 $10 rewards, we're offering a $125 reward, a $50, and $25 reward. You have one month. Good luck!

Important: Generative AI is strictly forbidden in this reward. To further prove the authenticity of your entry, we ask all entrants to include a secondary image showing their design being created. If you do not submit an in-design image, there's a chance your image may be mistaken as AI and rejected.

Thank you to Solaris104 for suggesting the idea! Alex is on leave from 16-23 December, so please tag Rich if you have any questions during that period.
