As an idea for a future challenge, this could be expanded from a single song to a full playlist. :)

Definitely, the impact of EVE Online on its players' lives is enormous. But in this case, I want to share a bit of my story.

I started playing EVE Online in 2018, growing and learning along the way. Perhaps the first big impact was meeting other players and forming my first group of new friends, with whom I still play after all these years.

During the pandemic, with all the free time, I created my YouTube channel. Team play and the new friendships that formed were a great support during that period and became the push for this new project.

While the channel now has some relevance within the Spanish-speaking community, there is still a long way to go. But for me, it’s a great way to use my free time, develop new skills to help it grow, and keep creating content. It has also allowed me to talk to many players from all over the world—something I once thought was simply impossible.

Management, empathy, friendship, creativity, teamwork—these are just a few of the things that EVE Online has helped me learn and improve (and, of course, Excel—because we all use it at some point).

Long live New Eden and its warriors of the spreadsheets!

My choice would be the ORE Strip Miner. Just like in the game, in my life, I try to be as efficient and effective as possible—knowing how to acquire and make the most of any resource to turn it into something positive and valuable. In both the game and real life, I love creating things that others can benefit from.

EVE Online in less than 50 words: Dark Souls in space—same difficulty, same punishment for mistakes, with spreadsheets as an additional nightmare.

Local chat is definitely one of the biggest love/hate aspects of New Eden, and it basically divides players into two camps: those who support it and those who don’t want it.

Expecting it to work the same across all regions of the game is, in my opinion, a mistake. It’s actually a great way to differentiate zones. For example, in wormhole space (WH), we can use it to chat, but it doesn’t function as an intel tool like it does in other regions. This also ties into the game’s lore.

Yes, local chat is a valuable tool for null-sec alliances, but in my experience, it’s not used as much for chatting among alliance/corporation members. That role has definitely been taken over by third-party apps like Discord or TS3.

Maintaining the balance that has existed for years seems like the right approach. After all, no one is forced to use this feature in any particular way.

I think it's time for something interesting, although I'm not really sure if something like this has been done before.

The Miners' Rebellion
For this challenge, you must create the largest possible fleet of PVP Ventures (you might even break a record) and take down as many targets as possible.
I think it would be very interesting to see how many players would be willing to participate in something like this. The great part is that it's a ship that almost 90% of players should be able to use.

To make it even more interesting, no other type of ship is allowed—only armed Ventures organized however you prefer. They can all be focused on damage, or you can divide them into logistics squadrons. In the end, the only limitation is the type of ship; the rest depends entirely on the players' imagination.
