At Just, we want to build your perfect online community alongside you. We regularly run these suggest-a-reward rewards to bring your voice into the reward-setting process; simply submit an idea for a reward that you want to see! We tend to run most community-suggested rewards, so there's a very good chance that your idea will become a rewarding reality. To maximise your chances, explain your concept clearly, including how entries would be verified and judged. The best rewards aren't text-based. So if you have any ideas for image rewards, video rewards, or even verifiable in-game challenges, your entry will get some suggest-a-reward bonus points! Feel free to suggest more than one idea, but we recommend a minimum of 30 words per idea to ensure its clear....

Create a new alien species

We already have the Thargoids and the Guardians, but if Elite were to have a new Alien race what would they be called and what would they look like? Let your creativity flow!

REWARD GUIDELINES:

Tell us what the aliens look like, drawings and artwork will unlock the higher tier prizes.
Tell us how or if they interact with the other alien species currently in the game.
Give details about their ships, if they even use any. Are they unique like the Thargoid ships or are they more conventional?
Do they bring any artifacts for players to discover, and maybe even use?
VERIFICATION:
Text, images or video. Images & video obviously unlock higher tier prizes.
At least 500 words explaining their background, traits and other characteristics

Your dream Community Goals...

Create a pair of weekly Community Goals that would be fully applicable to the actual game;

It could contain the current conditions of the official GCs;

Descriptions that relate to in-game events.
A system and station as a base for the delivery of actives.
Have defined playable roles on the actions to be performed; bounty, exploration, delivery, etc.
That they have a target amount to reach.

Or it could be something completely new, but that is really applicable to the game.

One possible idea for a submission could be to invent a brand new animal / creature. It could be based on a pre-existing animal or a mythical creature, but has to be something that doesn’t already exist as an entity. You’d have to describe it’s physical features, any skills or particular traits it has and even describe the climate or country is may be native to!

Take a screenshot of your SRV in full race mode for a chance of winning $X (5?). To make it a little more interesting a bonus $1 will paid for each additional SRV in the shot, up to a maximum payout of $X ($20?). Organise your race crew and start your engines!

Did you know EDCopilot has a Timetrial feature that lists a whole heap of different SRV racetracks you can compete on around the bubble and beyond? Not only will it record your fastest time for posterity and rank it with other rev-head Cmdrs, every competing Cmdr in Feb goes into a draw for a chance to win a cool 2 Billion credits. And they're off!

TIme trial: FSD boost off a white dwarf as fast as possible.

Description: players are to enter a white dwarf system, overcharge their FSD and jump out of the system as quickly as possible. Timer starts from the moment players exit the hyperspace tunnel and stops as soon as they have entered the next hyperspace tunnel. No limiting factors with this challenge, any ship, loadout or white drawf system of choice is allowed. Players can choose any system to exit to as well. A video showing completion of the above is necessary to verify for a submission.

Rewards: this sounds more like a tiered reward but I prefer the idea of having to beat a certain time to qualify for a reward. Say, under one minute to complete the above. I think players will want to resubmit as soon as they're over taken by another cmdr, so to avoid the constant cancelling and resubmiting, I think the same reward for all successful participants will be a neat idea. Just could do an ordering of fastest times in their curated article :) I was doing this activity often with neutron and white dwarf stars so I'd be happy to submit an example if Just considered running this. White dwarf exclusion zones should make this challenge very spicy.

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY: AIRBORN SRV CONTEST!!

Post a video of your longest, wackiest, and/or most daring jump in your SRV! Add a little description/preface (reason it happened, what the gravity situation was) of what's happening in the video. Bonus points for EPIC background music!

This reward is straightforward yet nerdy and challenging - build any ship from Elite Dangerous using LEGO bricks!

Whether it's a small, clever build or a highly detailed 400-piece masterpiece, the effort and creativity you put in will define the podium rewards. Push your engineering skills and bring those legendary ships to life!
