Suggest a massive Elite Dangerous reward (we might even run it!)

Posted by Alex Sinclair in Elite Dangerous

You've likely already seen our live suggest-a-reward reward. This short-term reward is similar, only a lot bigger. In short, we want to read your detailed ideas for a super reward with huge prizes! They could be for incredible in-game actions that help shape the galaxy, ambitious art projects, or experimental new video challenges that get the whole Elite Dangerous community fired up and/or involved!

Ask yourself: what Elite Dangerous challenge would be worthy of a prize of hundreds or even thousands of dollars? Then think about how exactly that reward could be run.

An important consideration, especially with prizes of that size, is that winning entries must be verifiable. So while you're laying out your idea, be sure to consider potential pitfalls and complications. What sort of evidence would be required? Could it be verified with video? What happens if two people contest the prize?

Describe your idea carefully. If it strikes us as a great and plausible idea, it might just become the biggest reward that we've ever run! So let your imaginations run wild, commanders. This could be huge.

Note: Winning a prize in this reward is not a guarantee that we will run your idea, just that we love your idea and believe it was well explained.

I thought of a bounty that would challenge players to gather the maximum number of friends to play something like a game of cat and mouse, only in the galaxy! Then he would record everything and send it here for his championship to be evaluated.

In a nutshell, the basics: one player would need to hide for a set period of time within a set perimeter (like a planet, so that capture is possible), while the other players would have the mission of tracking, finding and destroying him before the time runs out.

The player would be selected and then determined as a target for everyone. He could move within the perimeter, without disconnecting for too long (let's not make it too easy).

The target would then be presented to the hunters and would remain hidden on a certain planet, awaiting his hunters. And periodically, some clues about its location would be released, with some hints like the Batman riddle, for example: "In the Middleton of green leaf, in the falcon System"... this would help in the hunt.

The target could change ships, hide in remote areas of the perimeter or even pretend to be an ordinary player (in a detective style, except there won't be a murderer among us).

If the target survives until the time limit, it wins the competition. If it is destroyed, the person who captured it takes the victory, while those who were most active and useful in the hunt would also be recognized as winners.

The event would be monitored and the player would have to record their gameplay. Thus, the player would submit to this bounty, with videos and everything documented, explaining the strategies and tricks he used to take the prize or not. The big winner of the bounty would be the one who masterfully brought together the main topics: a good number of friends to make it dynamic, effective strategies and entertainment, of course. It's an easy event to organize, which would be a lot of fun and would entertain the galactic community and us here at Just About. It justifies being a more expensive prize for the winner to share with their friends (or not haha).

Nothing better than a good old trip around the world, but this time around the galaxy.
A race to visit all 42 sectors of the galaxy (and back to the starting system) in the shortest time possible.
To monitor progress, competitors should provide their logs and beautiful photos on planets in each sector

Create a documentary about a major event in Eltie Dangerous. Here in Brazil we have a movie about a major central bank robbery in 2005, something like our La Casa de Papel haha (You have that inspiration if you want it). Work it out meticulously, keeping in mind the possible reversals of your journey, trying to almost predict your target's movements, narrating everything, bringing in visual elements. As Alex well knows, I have to bring real-life elements to the elaboration of these bounties, such as the elaboration of models of the targets in 3d programs, real-life reenactments to simulate a group planning an attack, I believe that big bounties are a great incentive for more elaborate productions. The imagination of those who will submit is the limit, narrating the facts as the recordings show, together with the reenactments and elements outside the game, generate almost a documentary of the journey.

If you don't want to record a video, you can make posters of your documentary and present it in writing, almost like a large chapter of a book, but of course written submissions will have lower priorities than recorded ones.

My idea for a massive reward is for players to design another galaxy that could potentially be put into the Elite Dangerous game. There is , of course, no promises that the winner would have this new galaxy in the game as that would be up to Frontier to decide. Details looked for in the entries would be things such as:

The size of the galaxy, how many systems, and a proposed name for it
The kinds of stars and planets and how they are distributed within the galaxy
What part of it would be inhabited by life and what kind of life
The kinds of space ports that exist
What other creatures there are, either in space or on planets
The kinds of exo-biology you would expect to find on the surface of planets

show us your suits, not much content as yet on ground combat, so how about we show off our combat suits? a big grind but as with ships, engineered suits are a must

As another thought,

How about an on foot kill of the week? i did much testing of my suits in ground CZ's and i think some footage of that would be most entertaining, along with bringing to light the ground side of Elite Dangerous, i haven't done much lately, but it could attract some more traditional 1st person shooter consumers to the game.

have fun 07
