One of the things we really like about
EVE Online is the creative ways that the players keep contributing to the lore of New Eden. Today's
One Shots is actually a "found" screen, culled from the forums by Massively's own
Brendan "Nyphur" Drain, showing just a small portion of the creativity behind
EVE Online's player-base. Nyphur tells us a bit more about this screen:
I found this ages ago on the EVE forums and it's been my favourite screenshot ever since. It was either produced by a strange graphical bug or by opening the map in the New Eden system, but the composition of the screenshot gives it a wonderful symbolic feel. The map is visible with the Genesis region labled (the region that the EVE gate originated in and where settlers first entered New Eden). It's almost as if the genesis is occuring; the EVE gate giving birth to the thousands of little interconnected star systems that make up New Eden. If you're an EVE player who can tell us a bit more about how this screen came about, or who deserves the original credit, please do leave a comment below!
Have you found an area that just sums up your game world as the above sums up
EVE Online for Nyphur? If so, we'd love to see a screenshot of it and hear your thoughts. Just send that screenshot, your name, and your description to us here at
oneshots AT massively DOT com. We'll post it out here for everyone to check out!
