The Explorer's Shadow

An EVE University Epic Arc

Quick Overview

This is a soloing event for anyone who wants to do it, but targeting mostly EVE University members.

  • You will be sent on a mission finding the whereabouts (and hopefully not the remains) of a legendary explorer and scientist who vanished under mysterious circumstances.
  • You will get guided around all regions of New Eden, discover wonderful sights, but also face deadly enemies.
  • Your progress will be tracked throughout the Epic Arc. As an E-UNI member, you are expected to add a screenshot showing UI elements which give your location, your name and the actual subject of the photo in the comments section of the mission description. This will be regarded as the proof that you accomplished the mission. If you accomplished all missions in a chapter, you proceed to the next chapter. If you accomplished all missions in a book, you proceed to the next book.
  • There will be awards for completing each book, and a bigger award for completion of the entire Epic Arc. The awards will be handed out during the yearly EVE University Anniversary Celebrations, where the Award Ceremonies will take place.


Scheduling

  • Start: It is totally up to.
  • Duration: Until you have done it. But well, in the end, we expect a normally playing EVE newbro to need approx. 1.5 to 2 years to get all the books done.
  • Area: You will travel to all areas, from Highsec to Nullsec, and even Deadspace and Wormhole Space.
  • Communications: We recommend keeping an eye on the E-Uni forums, and the Wiki. Feel free to ask in a Chat Channel or the Wiki for help if you need assistance.

Requirements

For beginning the Epic Arc, you need:

  • A ship.
  • An E-UNI corporation membership is highly recommended, unless you don't want any rewards.
  • Any ship will do at the beginning. Later on, you may need more specialized ships to fulfill your mission, e.g. Covert Ops.
  • You should socialize during your time in New Eden. At some point, it may be necessary to gather a fleet together to get a mission done.

Configure your Location UI settings to display nearby celestials. To do this, click on the star symbol at the current location:

Then select "Configure" from the pop-up menu and a new window will open:

Activate both options.


Warnings

Please be aware that the screenshots you deliver are actual proof that you fulfilled the mission. That means it must be visible that you did it, and that it is taken at the actual mission location. So always ensure that your neocom portrait is visible in the image, as well as the current system and nearest object are displayed. Don't photoshop your image beyond enhancing contrasts or saturation.

When you apply for an reward, your progress will be reviewed by a staff member. The staff member may reject a screenshot if it is not appropriate enough, requiring you to do the same mission once more.

You can simply check out the comments section underneath a mission description for examples. You don't need to be an artistic person for this, you will see.
