[[EVE Online The 225k EHP Raven in PVP Action] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7dgzAIS0NQ) This Video shows some PVP Action in the Proving Grounds. But hold on, Proving Grounds are not the only part of my CSM campaign, more later!

First of all, I want to say thank you again for all those that voted me for CSM this Year, I got quite close to get elected (within 4 Rounds). I still hope we get the Arena back again. ---

The Federation Day Event would have been cool with a dedicated Proving Grounds event, or with a 2nd Gate in the Abyss, where the Boosters could have been used pretty well. ---

We still miss Proving Grounds! Especially the new Navy Destroyers would be interesting for an arena. ---

Crimson Harvest without the dedicated themed Arenas feel a bit empty in my opinion. [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/burner-proving-grounds-as-a-replacement-relaunch-for-the-old-1v1-arena-at-the-end-of-abyssal-sites/256913.md?page=5)
