As an idea for this bounty, I admit that I ended up basing it a little on the story of Haargoth Agamar, thus bringing in the idea of “Correct injustices in the game” (I promise I won't suggest any more things that involve real life and games, Alex Sinclair ) In this reward, you would have to register new players who have been looted and try to make the lives of those who spoil their experience a great penance. First, the player could use an account with no big deal and see at what point the first frustrating event of being robbed could happen, when encountering these events. Now, it's up to you to decide how you will act, whether you will be like Haargoth Agamar or prefer a more direct initiative, being able to infiltrate the clan and try to cause intrigue or simply provide information to others, bringing great chaos and dynamism to the game, the limit of bounty and how far your charisma can reach, here you involve other players, from enemy alliances or your friends penetrating like a virus into that clan. Or you can simply chase him and still create chaos haha. The judgment would be by the level of complexity and narration of the facts, the more elaborate and contrived the story, the better. Submissions with video are a requirement, as well as providing a good bounty time for the evil plan to be put into practice.

If you don't know the story of Haargoth Agamar, here's a link:

Titan Battle Royale

Titans - the largest, most powerful ships in EVE Online, yet rarely fly alone. A Titan vs. Titan duel is almost never happens. But what if we make it happen?

Titans clashing in a free-for-all, with no escape, no backup, and only one survivor. (c)

The Concept

Any participant (1 person per alliance) can field their Titan of choice, with any fit, any hangars, and any bays – no restrictions.

Rules of Engagement

• Warp into the battlefield and fight – no helpers, no support.

• Temporary alliances may form, but only one Titan can claim victory. Bribe, buy, threat – everything allowed.

• No external interference. GMs will teleport all participants to an isolated system to ensure a fair fight.

• Leaving the grid results in disqualification. This includes rewarping, logging off, or attempting to escape.

The Grand Prize

• A spotlight on the main stage at EVE Fanfest, honoring the ultimate Titan pilot.

• If unable to attend, a video-recorded featuring and special recognition.

• Exclusive EVE memorabilia, such as a Second Decade Collector’s Edition box.

• A permanent mark in EVE history as the first-ever Titan Battle Royale champion.

Why This Would Be Legendary

• EFT Warriors & Theorycrafters Rejoice! The ultimate challenge for fitting specialists. What’s the best Titan build for a solo FFA? I almost starter to tinker fits in pyfa while was writing this 😊

• With no fleet backup, decision-making, movement, and target prioritization become everything.

• Social & Political Chaos! Will existing alliances work together? Will they turn on each other? How will the final moments unfold?

• Marathon Endurance Challenge – This could last for hours, even days. Who will outlast the rest?

• Cinematic Carnage – A battlefield of Titans clashing, showcasing the biggest ships, biggest explosions, and biggest betrayals. BIGGEST EVERYTHING!

Balancing the Event Duration

To prevent an event lasting 24+ hours, organizers could introduce mechanics such as:

• After 60 minutes, resistances begin to drop.

• After 90 minutes, damage multipliers are applied.

• At the 2-hour mark, all ships take constant damage from a toxic cloud, wooohooo Explosions guaranteed.

This ensures a definitive winner while still allowing for strategic endurance-based combat.

This could be the most unforgettable event in EVE Online.

p.s. came to this idea when was watching monster trucks

So while I agree that this would be legendary (I've awarded it a prize), it's not the sort of thing that Just would be able to organise as a platform reward. That said, there's nothing stopping someone from doing it... are you feeling ambitious?

THE CHICKEN RUN

Gatecamps are the bane of every Eve players existence but I bet you've never played chicken with them?

HOW IT WORKS

You need to find a gatecamped system, it doesn't have to be in null. Just as long as there's an active gatecamp. You can use services like gatecampcheck to find out!

  • You can use any ship you like for this challenge

  • You can use as many warp stabs as you like

  • You have to start with 5 plex in your hold

  • With each successful run, you add 5 plex to your hold

  • You're not allowed to use allied/friendly camps.

What makes a successful run?

You need to make it into the gatecamped system through the gatecamp. Then a return run back to the system you came from without being destroyed.

The twist

If you are destroyed, and the PLEX doesn't drop. Then your run will count as a success (since this will infuriate the campers) but you won't be able to continue for higher prizes.

If your PLEX does drop, then you failed and you'll only get the participation reward.

Prize tier suggestion

Entrants can play it safe and go for a smaller payout for one completed run, or they can continue for higher tier prizes. Even failed runs would still get a participation reward though, so at least everyone gets something.

Verification

  • Must post a video showing their unedited runs,

  • Must show their cargo hold before jumping into the camped system without editing.

  • Link to their KB to prove they haven't previously failed / to prove the plex didn't drop

THE GRAND HEIST / THE NEW EDEN CRIMEWAVE / THE GREATEST SCORE

ESS (Encounter Surveillance System) and Skyhooking are two of the most fun, but also most profitable ventures to undertake in EVE Online. It would be awesome if you guys could run a week-long, or even month long, event wherein players need to head out and rob New Eden blind. It could be done solo or in a team, but perhaps the rewards for the two should be kept separate? Have player document and save their own earings, with proof, and then give tiered rewards based on the final standings. You would need a grace period of a few days after the event ends for players to submit their results.

The implications of such an event would also be awesome. It would be great to see how it affects the big null groups. Would they all rally together to defend their spaces from the influx of robbers and thieves? Would they enlist others to help? Would they join in the fun but direct it at their opposition? It could have prove to be devastating, or fruitful beyond imagination, depending on how you approach it and whose side you are on. It would also be really interesting to see how ESS and Skyhooking would compare profit wise.

As an avid Skyhooker and ESS robber I would LOVE to partake in such an event. Honestly, it is a good way to give long-time fans of the game that are perhaps a little jaded or bitter some incentive to do the content available to them and perhaps just undock their vessels. It is also a great way to throw newer players into a venture that is not too expensive to get into but also really profitable if done right.

Along with the event itself you could run a few smaller segments that the content creators could get in on like the one you guys are doing right now with the 1 Minute Guide. You can get content creators to make short guides for ESS or Skyhooking and have that run either right before, or alongside, the event to get everyone ready and hyped for it!

That's it, if you have any questions please feel free to fire away. I can make a banner or something if you want as well?

Okay, well I love this too, your name suggestions included! Thank you for taking the time to explain it so well. I don't know much about Skyhook/ESS robbing, so I have a few follow-up questions:

  1. You said that players would document their earnings as evidence. What would that evidence look like and is it verifiable anywhere that couldn't be photoshopped? (If we were to put a massive prize on it, we'd have to cover all bases.)

  2. It'd be better for us to just run one version of this reward. So we'd likely ditch the team mode and just run it based on individual player earnings for both ESS and Skyhook robbing combined. Do you see any issues arising from that?

Lumin's avatar

Hi! I am bad at checking back and notifications and all the rest. I am here now, however!

Unfortunately nowadays anything could be faked. Screenshots could work and faking something like that would take considerable effort and, if guilt is suspected, you could with great effort try to verify it by checking the specific hooks or ESS locations. I wouldn't suggest that, it would take ages. That said, video evidence is probably the best and most secure way to make 100% certain. Even if it is just a video of the final moments (seconds) of the Skyhook or ESS spitting the gas / ice or money out. I am still relatively new to the game, though, and someone that knows more or has been playing longer might be able to weigh in with more.

With solo / team based earnings I don't think it really matters all that much, and it definitely can't be policed easily. Even if players are doing it solo they could have friends waiting around to help if they need it, or they could just remove them right before looting. Regardless, as a solo I can rob about as much as teams anyway, it is a matter of luck and research combined and either way should be cool.

I realise that it makes it a little harder to do with all these holes in the plans but I was hoping that was where the guys on the EVE Discord server, or you dudes at Just, might come in. I just thought it was a really fun sounding idea!

Hope this helps <3

Thanks Lumin (apologies for my old slow response, we've been mulling this one over). I think it's a really cool idea, but likely not something we're going to be able to organise in the short-term future. I have, however, added it to our list of big future ideas to return to.

S

Create an in-lore series or movie set in EVE today. Use plentiful references to in-game entities, items, classic jokes, etc. Basically "Clear Skies" but using the new ships, graphics, mechanics, activities, lore events, and factions. Emphasis is set on comedy, in-game accuracy, and an engaging plot, in that order.

100 Kill Streak - No Deaths

In short

Solo Pilot

100 Kills

Not allowed to die in between kills, i.e killboard verified via Zkill must be 100 green boxes, if said player dies, count resets

This is a lot harder than you think it is :)

Luka Zaharin's avatar

Wow, that's heavy! You'd have to use an alt or stop taking part is corp ops during that time to make sure you don't die in CtAs

One thing I'd like to add, is you'd have to make sure there is no awoxing, not more than let's say 3 parties on the killmail and no repeatedly killing the alt chars of a friend to boost numbers. Since it's a lot of "Quafe Money" I think it could be a fun challenge though!

I like the part about having a large scale untiered reward where your work can be rewarded if you finish a difficult challenge and not only if you are actually the best by some luck. I remember winning a SKINR first prize with a fast design that had little effort in it and getting 1$ in the next one even though I had spent a few hours finetuning the colours xD

Alex Sinclair's avatar

I like this idea a lot FirestormGamingTeam! I think the way to do it - to guarantee that someone wins the prize (and we do always want winners!), would instead be to award the longest no-death kill streak rather than setting a target of 100. But I am worried about issues like the ones Luka raises - people gaming the system by killing off alts, boosting their numbers via pre-arranged awoxing, etc., especially if we put a huge prize on it. Reviewing individual kills at this scale could be very time-consuming. Similarly, what would you define as a 'kill'? Getting the final blow, dealing the most damage, or just participating? Would pods count? Is there any other vessel you'd choose to exclude?

Keen to hear your thoughts too Luka Zaharin!

Luka Zaharin's avatar

I thought about this a bit, but I noticed I had little time to give it good consideration. I'd love to add some more intel, but I will take a moment due to RL taking over for a few days.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

No problem, take your time. I hope all is well!

Luka Zaharin's avatar

Thanks, yes. Good developments, but time consuming ones :)

Luka Zaharin's avatar

I gave this quite some more thought because I really like the idea of this kind of PvP reward, but it turned out pretty difficult to get rid of all of the ways pilots could manoeuvre around the challenge I could imagine.

I would consider Pods related to a ship kill count. I think there should be no more than 3 players on the killmail, but being tied to final blows makes it quite difficult. There would need to be a way to quickly check for mass-harvesting methods such as smartbombing in highly active systems. The kills would need to be versatile in both ships destroyed and pilots caught. 10 Cynoventures on the Tama-Sotiyo in one afternoon would not count as 10 kills, but maybe as one or two.

In the end, I think every player would have to do a video showing their killboard with an in-depth check on a set of rules. The JUST mods then "only" have to watch 10-12mins videos and see if the rules were actually applied before being able to choose the winners.

While this was initially FirestormGamingTeam s idea and I do not want to interfere, I'd be interested in working together to set up a number of rules so this reward could happen!

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Hmm, it sounds like it may be more complicated than it's worth. I love the idea too, but we've found the more complicated we make rewards, the less likely they are to be successful. I'm going to put this on the back-burner for a couple of months, because we have some very big EVE rewards lined up anyway. But if in the meantime the two of you would like to get stuck into clear succinct rule design, then I'd be extremely happy to return to this and try to make it a reality

Feel free to jump on eve online tutorials discord and message me / If we are allowed to submit a joint idea etc. Alex Sinclair

Alex Sinclair's avatar

The idea has been submitted, but you're absolutely allowed and encouraged to collaborate on some rules for it. Either here or wherever works best for the both of you
