Think up an EVE Online mini-game!

Posted by Alex Sinclair in EVE Online

Final Fantasy X has Blitzball, The Witcher has Gwent, what about EVE? There's already Project Discovery, which we love, but can you think up something new? We're defining a mini-game as a game that you can play inside the main EVE game but with totally different mechanics and genre.

Tell us about the gameplay, the rewards, how and if it would affect the main game, and any other fun details. There are three ways to enter this reward, each with their own prize value to reflect their effort:

You can enter with a social media post, explaining your idea the best you can within the character limit for $3. As always, remember to contextualise your post so people outside of Just understand it.
You can enter with a graphic that explains your mini-game in more detail for $11.
You can make a video (minimum four minutes) explaining your mini-game in even more detail for $17.

If we're particularly impressed by your content, we might award it a higher tier of prize. If your content doesn't reach the standards we hope for, we might offer it a lower-tier prize.

Please add the following tags: #EVEOnline (and/or #TweetFleet) and #JustCreators (and/or tag @EVEOnline and Just on your chosen platform - details below)!

The idea is to use survey scanner panel similar to a "hacking list" for the player to analyze Asteroids for "Points of interest", the goal of this is to reward players who prefer to actively mine, not just AFK mining. encouraging fleets to give newplayers a Responsibility that they could with almost no prior experience or wealth manage whilst rewarding the whole.

Confirmed Eve players would definitely eat this up like nobody's business.

I'm a graphic designer. but not a Corse maker.. so this is a simplified pic i made to represent it. wish i could make videos. but this alone took me over an hour to make. all ships in pic are skinned by myself. the background i made previously and use in many posts almost 100 layers.

but i would love to c set courses. the sides represent the boundary lines and cold twist and turn similar to other racing games. it be boring to just have a vast field to just dodge through . but again im not a course maker so this is just a representation of my idea. then of course in the boundary would be asteroids to race around.

it be really interesting to have 2 modes one with and one without combat.. i can imagen trying to make a fast ship yet also a safe one. is the guy behind you gunna blow you up...or web you... webs could be usable in non combat ones... setting it to race the same class of ship would be far more fair...then again i would love to c a mode where any class will do . so much could be done with this to make it really entertaining. entire alliances could have competitions and it could build camaraderie.. or even i could see players deciding to do best racers compete from each faction or area..
