Hello,

It was recently expressed in the dev blog by CCP Abraxas that we should offer ideas and suggestions for categories in the new chronicle portal.
I only have one, and that is The War of Resurgency for the fights that have taken place against Sansha's Nation in the past couple of years. I know there aren't many stories about it, but there are some. That should count for something.

I ...ehm my points would be first:

http://www.eveonline.com/background/articles.asp

Scientifc Articles - basic... or what CCP, Imersion team, Yarr etc... like....with the pics etc... so that it looks like this page: here.

The difference from this category to other like Tech articles is just that it has the basic´s of the universe... where can I find this? Thy are here in this category, I know messy, but.. you will find them Big smile Why I think adding them is nice?... They get to fast lost if doesnt.

About the pics... sad to not see them any more.... maybe CCP can make competition on EVE is real (by the way I like this pic) after a 'chronicle', ehm be more precisely a 'short stories', comes out.... for the last ones... I can see a sniper in the dark... you can see just his shadow of him and the barrel... etc...

About the category tree i like this idea from CCP
EVE Chrionicles -> Empire Factions Chrionicles -> Faction Chronicles
EVE Chrionicles -> Pirate Factions Chrionicles -> Faction Chronicles
EVE Chrionicles -> And everyone else -> Faction Chronicles (and dont far.. even InterBus has some chrons, and if some Faction has less chrons in his category, it just means, CCP has his prime-faction for the next one P

other thing is maybe along the Timeline:

EVE Chrionicles -> Rise of the Empires -> The Speakers of Truth etc...
EVE Chrionicles -> The Empyrean Age -> etc.,..

About: "The War of Resurgency for the fights that have taken place against Sansha's Nation in the past couple of years." I think.. it is a nice one for the future, I think this mechanic will stay longer in the game, so the future yarr (in 5 years plus) will like it or at least add it in the category Sansha Nation Chrons etc.... Big smile

Maybe another topic... but some work needs to be log.. like:
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Caldari_Financial_System it was a Chronicle from CCP Ginger, see here. Or Gingers work one the state of all the faction in EVE, see here. Than my BS... I have change the date on two chrons...(here and here) in 500 years because of the old infos we had... so need to be change back to 300 years.


-FLY save PV

I would love to have those classes ingame. See here:

One thing they could do is use the story's made by fans and put them in the chronicles. It seems fair that a good story should be put there, because he or she might have put alot of time into it. What CCP or who ever runs the forums can do is have a voting contest and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners are placed in the Chronicle page.(Picture included like Publius Valerius said above)

It could be limited on page's or characters but thats up to the voters or whoever.

Now besides that a few ideas would be story's about the Factions and its people. Either be drama, romance, war etc, etc.
Also about the Sansha War.
Maybe a story of love one's torn apart or something.(I think I might make a story about that)

IDK. Cool

But my idea would be good and it would give people a chance to show how good they are at writing story's about the game or how much they care.
