Hi

Firstly, apologies if this is not the correct forum area - please move as needed.

A few moments ago at Fanfest, a question was put to Soundwave:

"Are there any plans to enable players to create missions"


Technically, this exists in web-based form and i wish to point people in the direction of something i have been developing over the past few years - the TRIAD AGENCY. This was followed by ISD with the mission concept, design and functioning being similar to that of NPC missioning. It also featured in EON magazine where i mentioned in an interview that i wish to evolve the mission/campaign system so that individual corporations can own their own agency system.

This is now on the verge of public release in the next few weeks

Presenting PANDORA

Although PANDORA is solely available to T.R.I.A.D (anyone who registers to access it - not just corp members!) at present during testing, which largely means all our Campaigns and missions are geared towards aiding the Minmatar/Gallente and against the Amarr/Caldari, in around 2-3 weeks time PANDORA v2.0 will be released which allows any Corpoation/Alliance in EvE to have their own Agency system which will also also for campaigns against enemy entities which interact with each other.....but more on that soon

The Player Actioned Next Dimension Omni Reality Agency was developed throughout 2011 January - August 2012 and is essentially the original T.R.I.A.D Agency with enormous improvements and additions. The T.R.I.A.D Agency was originally created by and exclusively only available to T.R.I.A.D.

When PANDORA v2.0 comes into effect, any corporation can own their own agency system representing an alliance, or a non-alliance corporation, with some major differences designed to enhance the player experience and immerse the user in the backstory of EvE Online where you can aid in forging the path of your corporation, alliance and alter the paths of others through your actions.

Corporations will be able to declare alliances and hostilities. Campaigns and missions can be created and PANDORA will create counter missions for your corporation against your enemies or to aid your allies.

Courier missions can also be created for your corporation where anyone registered to your agency system can ship tiems for you.

It also includes a complex Market system for any corporation using EvE-Central API to allow you to buy/sell corp assets between your corp and your agency members. A working version in full use now is already on our site linked above.


Further details can be found in ingame channel TRIAD AGENCY where those who wish to access the current V1 release may do so. Those interested in seeing this in action or who may be interested in their own version i also encourage to register ingame on our PANDORA website.

Please be aware that this is V1 (for testing purposes and use only to those registered with our agency at present.).....V2 is a much more improved beast

V2 also allows for Dust 514 rewards and campaigns to fight in systems where objectives are required for rewards

Thank you

im rea and i havnt a bloody clue why im here

again

how much does it cost?

I have no pricing on it as yet and am currently in two minds as whether to set a monthly or one-off owner fee. The first few corporations shall be given their own system for free - when it is closer to public release i shall give details.

An interesting concept, which i love the sound of. Though i'm a bit vague on the specifics. Say, for example, i wanted to offer a mission for my corporation to kill pirates in lowsec, how exactly would they benefit from getting these kills? You say they'd get loyalty points, but where exactly would they come from? Also, what do you mean by corps/alliances having their own agency system?

Sounds great though, and look forward to its further development.

Ok...

A great example - pirate kill missions are already available to create in PANDORA and here is how it works:

You setup your Combat mission to kill players below -5.0 sec status (as an example), either anywhere, a specific region or a system (all settings that can be done).

PANDORA has its own points system based upon Ship class. Upon mission completion (or end date/time) it tallys up the points and converts them into LP. This is LP they pickup from your Agency (your corp being the agency they ran the mission for).

They then visit the LP Item Store on your PANDORA system and are able to accept items which they have the LP or Isk requirement for. This Item list is populated from a database table which is updated every day by reading character and corporation assets (settings which can be altered in the PANDORA admin panel to choose either or booth). The values of these in LP are based upon the isk values pulled daily from eve-central.com.

The PANDORA site you currently see is TRIAD only - it is beta V1 and only accessible to anyone registered to use it, making them registered to TRIAD, or working for TRIAD as an agency member.

PANDORA V2 will allow other Corporations to have their own agency system which works in the same way, thus creating mutiple corporations with their own agency system and the ability to build missions to fight or assist each other and give rewards and more

Hope this helps

I don't really get how this works, but huge props for making it.

NPC missions in their current form should have never been introduced into a sandbox, CCP should have given player corps tools like this instead.

Impressed.

A lot of it is very API driven with all the code in the background doing the funky stuffs :)

Feel free to register on the current version to see it in action and to run missions - feedback on the current V1 (TRIAD only) helps go into moulding the public V2 version

I assume it works in a very easy way, it is an out-of-game tool, where you set mission conditions for your corp buddies and check yourself if it has been met.

When CCP said third party developers, this is what they were talking about.

Pandora and the other fantastic apps that dedicated people have built are the real future of Eve.
