Alex Sinclair Is this reward focused on art or game design? The description is a bit unclear.

A bit of both, but the visual/artistic element is the main component. Check out the first few entries of this article for an idea of what we're hoping for:

Just wanted to make sure, as Eve is not about visuals, people love numbers, stats, and bonuses, and we have only two real artists here.

We're always keen to both grow our existing community and encourage our current community members to try new things. Many of the creators who made those ED designs had never attempted it before and were very pleased with what they made. That's why we have so many runner-up prizes for those who want to 'give it a go' as well as the low-prize-tier AI-generated category - for those who want to get involved but don't have the time to learn a new skill

Creativity is not art. But art is creative. Being creative doesn't require artistic skill - as it is possible in all fields, from engineering, to farming, and beyond. These days there are tools available to everyone to help them visualize their own creativity that don't require any, or very little, artistic skill to utilize. And while those results may not be as visually pleasing as those from an actual artist (thank goodness!) it doesn't mean they do not have value.

Challenge yourself.

After decades of relentless research the Sisters of Eve have achieved the impossible - a massive, mobile stargate embedded in their new SuperCapital the "Gaivota". I named the ship after former CCP Seagull and her dream of one day allowing Capsuleer's the opportunity to build their own stargates. Beyond that, I really gave this absolutely no thought whatsoever, so it might be dumb, might be impossible, might be crazy - but it sounds awesome. So I drew it.

I like it.

I've had some interesting conversations about this ship today. Lots of interesting ideas about what it does - from stabilizing Wormholes, to being a mobile jump gate, or only allowing SoE approved ships through - like haulers, miners, and freighters. Sort of a non-aggression star gate.

At least people are talking about it.

Somehow everybody wants to controll their own little sun xD
