Calling all ship builders! Here's a chance to let both your engineering and creative skills shine. We want you to design a new ship for EVE Online, complete with its key features, its bonuses, its name, its faction, and, most importantly, an illustration.

We know that not everyone is a master illustrator, so we're allowing entrants to use AI for the images. However, we want to celebrate skill and effort, so while AI submissions could net entrants $3, those that include hand-illustrated or digitally illustrated ship designs can win $10.

A note on generative AI: While this bounty is just intended as a bit of fun, we recognise that there are complex and ongoing concerns around generative AI, especially surrounding the unauthorised usage of artists' work. We're always open to your opinions about the use of AI, and we've run multiple bounties over at Just About Tech that are great places for that discussion to take place. Check out our AI policy for Just About's general stance on the usage of AI on the platform.

Task: Design a new ship for EVE Online, complete with an illustration or blueprint

Format: Image with text

How to submit an image:

1. Take your image and post it to your connected Twitter (X) or Instagram account. If it's a screenshot, don't forget to hide the HUD or use photo mode if you can.

2. In your post description, please tag us! We're on Twitter (X), and on Instagram. We'd also love it if you included #JustAbout.

3. Hit the 'submit to this bounty' button just below this description - do not use the reply button unless you just want to comment on the thread, as replies will not be counted as entries!

4. Share a link to your post in the box that appears, then expand it so we can view it on Just About.

Once the deadline closes, we’ll pick up to eight $3 AI submissions and up to eight $10 hand-made submissions. We may then share them as curated content.
