I had an idea for eve similar to some other systems that I've played before that I think would work well with EVE.

Trophy systems that allow EVE Online players to collect in their hangar bay a collection of awards or trophies for completing specific tasks in game.
Let’s face it everyone like awards and will go out of their way to unlock trophies and achievements. Why not have a system that allows you to go out and explore all areas of Eve Universe and collect medals or trophies in your Hangar bay

Example: Greylord Kane goes out and mines ore and reaches a specific achievement amount ….Ding ….He is awarded the “Holy Universe that’s a ton of Ore trophy”, or something that will show up in his display case in his personal hangar?
I’m not sure how the mechanics work but you might even be able to allow a certain really hard attainable trophies to be items for the hangar bay to be placed or can once achieved boost an attribute?

I would have an area on the HUD that you can click and see all the trophies that can be unlocked so players can see what they need to do …

Also you can rank players them by number of trophies under the achievement tab

When a player has a orientated goal to go after it’s sometimes like a mad crave that will maybe attract more players and keep some interested/engaged

Trophies can range from very simple to VERY difficult.
It was a thought I had…thanks for listening

Thank you again for all your hard work at CCP! -Grey

But this isn't an xbox game?

Definitely there are going to be some that would like it and some who don't. Some people view achievements as something to work towards or give them another goal. It's not for everyone. I totally get this isn't a ps4 or x box game but console are not the only thing limited to achievements. Some people love unlocking achievements

hey now, pc master race has achievements too lol. Steam games are loaded with them.


Never saw the completionist syndrome personally. Or achievement hunting. Even on xbox. Like with a recent fallout 4 kick I am on and soon Skyrim SE. Bethesda is giving us mods now...and I use them. Mods kills the achievements however. Which I can live with...Bethesda games greatest strength to me is the great modding community they have. Stock game, no f'ing way when you have that.


The ones CCP put in now kind of annoying. saw that cd keys were getting killed. HAd the 2 month free account from CE I short fused fire up. You changed system, good boy. You changed mid slot mod....good boy.

You could just use the Awards system we already have.

I'm pretty nuts about creating medals of recognition for certain milestones or actions to hand out to my corp. Wouldn't be hard to repurpose the opportunities system to do this.

After all the opportunities map is already built, and it is actually just an achievement system that pays ****** amounts of ISK.

Just have it pay awards in stead, issued by NPC corps, and people can display them on their profiles using the same system they already use for corp ones.

Also, Lets totally remove the fee for awarding medals while we are at it. Jack up the cost of creating them to like 50m but let us award them for free or something.

OP, Eve has a trophy system already. It's the stack of other player's corpses in your hangar.

guess what eve lets you do this already with medals. eve is about setting and completing goals you and other players have set with as little guidance from the devs on what those goals should be


and when you do them your corp can give you your damn medal

"Nobody wants achievements, EVE is serious business!"

*CCP implements achievements, including "visited every system in New Eden" and "hold sov in every nullsec system at least once"*

*War breaks out and nullsec becomes a chaotic bloodbath as completionists chase meaningless achievements that nobody actually wanted anyway*

Yes but is it bit different.. typically Corps randomly give out medals..very seldom are there universal medals from all player when they make certain achievements. Corps do not spend the time to make lists of achievements and then hand them out when players reach those goals, they don't keep track of the amount of ore mined or a certain amount of kills, or a tough frigate kill on a cruiser....stuff like that. I have medals from my corp but they are for random stuff that was either funny and i was deemed a medal. ''A good example would be that some corps give out fat links or recognition when you are in a PVP fleet.. Players go crazy over that.. Sometime they are just on fleets so they can get them. Medals...trophies....whatever you want to call them would be goals to work towards and let's face it corps don't spend the time to do that...would be great but that's not a reality.

Note worthy yes. but those kind of achievements need to be more in variety, more individualized, set so it can be seen easily.

it could have it's own left bar icon that says "Achievements" or "Intergalactic Recognition Program"...call it what you will. Again like stated before they're are fans of this and they're are not, I get that.

Once the icon is clicked it should come up as a window with bright color badges..trophies..medals....whatever and a description of what was done to get it and when it was achieved.

They're are so many options to make fun and interesting recognitions and wow it might just help one or two new members to get iout there and try out the variety of events, indy...PVP..PVE..Exploration......... (I know theyre are in game events to do that now.. this was another fun option.

We already have achievements in EVE: They are called killboards and player corporation created medals.

I've already addressed this..yes you have Zkill...for kills (Only) And again I'll state most corps do not have a set universal trophy systems that keeps track of the members achievements and hands them out when a miner says reaches an ungodly amount of ore, or in pvp when there is a special kill, or you have completed a mission with one particular ship. Eve is not centered around just killing there is sooo much more.

Which you can all do via API, CREST and soon this swagger stuff. Most of the data that could be turned into achievements is already available to third party developers to setup systems that automatically generate alerts when someone has reached a certain statistics value.

With regards to standards: The standards are a set number of ships killed, ore mined, NPCs obliterated, wormholes scanned, systems explored, landmarks visited. Every corp can create medals around these things however they like and name them appropriately.

Congrats. You actually came up with an activity more boring than mining itself. I didn't think it was possible.

this made me laugh as I am an indy guy mainly..hahahaha But the point is if a miner reached a specific amount or something note worthy. If there was a achievement for a miner to get x amount of trit for a trophy..there definitely
are miners out there that would go for the goal to e get it. Same thing with PVP if there was a 100% you killed a cruiser with a tech 1 frigate trophy for sure PVP'er would be doing it just to try and achieve the feat.
