Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Greetings,
So there's now this site where players can record their stories from the last 10 years, and presumably continue doing so into the future.

Why not use that as a resource to create things in the systems where they happened to commemorate major events?

Given there have been a few things like this - the statue in Jita is one and such.

It needs to be something that can show up in the overview, has some kind of descriptive text associated to explain it, more than one per system ('cos it's possible to have multiple events in one system). I'm kind of biasing towards alliance/coalition level things here, I suppose, but shouldn't discriminate between high/low/null/wh.

What counts as an event 'worthy' of commemoration? Some possible criteria: Storey posted to the eve stories site. Voted on by CSM, simple majority, at request of players involved - but CCP can unilaterally do it without CSM vote if they think its worthy. Impact / scale of effect on the eververse. How much people are talking about it eg in forums, media.

It shouldn't give any bonuses other than prestige.

Couple of ideas
1
Permanent player constructable / anchorable epitaph / monument that they can add a description to which shows up on show info. Issue: time to penis roughly 3 seconds after it's put down. Another issue: who to grant it to. Perhaps a single run unsellable BPC could be granted by CCP for the manufacture of the thing, roughly equivalent in resource to a player outpost/station. I'm imagining it would take say a freighter or JF to transport to location - although those criteria might make it a bit hard for some to be set up as the circumstances around the monument might mean they no longer control the space etc. Perhaps instead the monument is an egg or something using the same tech as cargo containers that can be transported in a stealthy ship, which then expands into the monument after anchoring. Hmm would also want something to limit which system it could be applied to maybe.

DED site or beacon added to system by CCP. Patrolled by rats, could have say a bunch of wrecks to commemorate a battle, or a statue for a grand theft or... This would probably be a simpler, more easily controlled and better able to be implemented thing (but would not be as cool as the above).

Having something like this would probably make a lot more alliances think of their space as 'home' and be a lot keener to defend in the face of attack rather than turn tail if they are being invaded - a rallying point and similar. Again, more of a low/ null/ wh thing I guess.

A related idea would be an agent you could go to that could be a tour guide to eve's history, like a mission storey arc, with each mission sending you off to look the next monument - gets players out exploring in space and similar.
