This is a direct update to the original PANDORA site as discussed at Presenting EVE PANDORA
PANDORA: Legacies, the latest version of PANDORA came out of beta at the end of February, and with a few final “water test” campaigns, the new website began to hit full steam in April.
PANDORA has taken many forms over the years, with many elements being taken and implemented into EVE Online. See the About page for more information at
With today’s version of PANDORA, it is now capable of being a roleplay/content driver for all those interested and is capable of doing what it was meant for. You can create campaigns over set periods of time against target corporations or alliances or in specified systems with rewards to those taking part, whether from within your corporation or alliance or complete strangers.
Through creating content, key players can evolve - PANDORA recognises who is creating content and singles them out for recognition. Important impacting content is put into a monthly news video release. Those who have taken part are given recognition for their involvement.
It is a tool to enable you to create news and unique content and story arcs where outcomes can change your path.
Create Corporation, Alliance and Faction missions and campaigns. Set goals for yourself, and others around you and other entities and entire faction warfare militias.
Imagine the following possible scenario:
You just created a campaign to invade enemy territory, where your campaign is locked and only visible to your alliance members. However, someone manages to hack your campaign and releases its details to your intended target. This intended target then creates a counter campaign to kill your alliance members in the territory you had chosen to attack - a campaign forcing them to defend against your upcoming attack on a date that you had set but is now known by your enemy.
This then snowballs into assassination missions being placed on your fleet commanders, singling them out and breaking your offensive campaign. Following defeat, you place multiple supply missions to setup a production HQ nearby the enemy HQ. Missions runners in evepandora are ferrying minerals to you and before you know it you now have a fleet of battleships due to those you’ve never met providing you the materials in hours. Another campaign to make a second attack is made and victory is yours.
With it’s own standings system, those who run missions and make claims on campaigns they have been involved in will begin to stand out as having loyalty to certain individuals, corporations and alliances.
PANDORA allows you to be the driver of this content where you create the events and forge your own path and can change the destiny of others. With our monthly news broadcasts and eve insider news giving storyline updates within our website - you could use this as the catalyst in pushing you, your corporation or your alliance forward.
With the PANDORA Artificial Xtension (PANDAX), PANDORA know “knows” exactly what is going on at all times. Containing a concise collection of the history of EVE, PANDAX generates profiles and accounts of all capsuleers, corporations, alliances and factions.
As you take part in campaigns, missions and other content, PANDAX will write your profile, activity log and history of events that you have been involved in as a protagonist participating in the campaigns and missions created by PANODRA agents and agencies. This can be seen in the characters, corporations, alliances and factions areas on the site.
HISTORY WILL BE WRITTEN!
PANDORA enables you to be the agent, or your corporation or alliance with multiple creative content being open to the users such as:
CAMPAIGNS
Create full-blown combat campaigns to launch attacks on your enemies, cause a disturbance in targeted areas, create competition amongst your peers or just for the heck of it.
Create Faction Warfare plexing campaigns to put the pressure on the enemy and take control of the warzone. With advantage tracking and many other elements, systems can be targeted to reach specified contested states with advantage elements.
MISSIONS
Opening in early May, users will be able to generate a multitude of differing missions such as:
System advantage - FW Plexing campaigns will auto-generate missions for increasing the advantage for your side. Capsuleers can add rewards to these campaigns to encourage either side to push the advantage in a system being attacked or under attack.
Kill missions - Kill missions will be back with a bang! Specify specific capsuleers to be hunted down with an enlistment element applied to hunt down the target capsuleer. The enlistee that kills the target will reap the mission rewards.
Combat missions - Create missions for individuals to attack target corporations, alliances, faction members or to cause disruption in specified target areas with an isk reward per kill and applicable bonuses.
Vendetta missions - With the PANDORA standings system already in place. Combat campaigns and missions will decreae your PANDORA standings (much like NPC standings) with those you kill. Should you reach a low enough standing with other capsuleers for your actions against them, you can fully expect a mission to be available to them where they will have the option to mark you as a target to everyone.
Courier missions - Need items moving from A to B? Courier missions in PANDORA will be back for moving single items or items in bulk through courier jobs. Get your work done by others with rewards, quick delivery bonuses and more. Get increased rewards for consistent courier jobs as your standings increase.
More to come.
PROJECTS
Coming mid-may, projects will once again be open in PANDORA.
With multiple missions. You can generate a project for others to contribute towards your goals. For example, you may wish to acquire all the materials needed to build a fleet of 100 Tempest Fleet Issue class battleships. See all those working on supplying the materials you need with the % achieved of your goals.
STORY ARCS
As before with previous versions of PANDORA, Story Arcs will once again become active in early June.
With Story Arcs, you can implement multiple components. Have campaigns and missions on standby which only unlock depending on the success of failure of other missions and campaigns. PANDAX will handle writing your story as campaign and missions take place with the protagonists taking part in your campaigns and missions become the key players in your story.
Remember those RPG-style books from school where you would turn to page x based on decisions and outcomes? This is what PANDORA Story Arcs are for. You write the chapters and others take part in your story where results create the next chapter.
Take a look at the following impact PANDORA had in the month of April
It started with EvEJoker of the Ushra’Khan launching a campaign titled “Egmar Conquest” on 2nd April at https://www.evepandora.com/selectedcampaign?campaign_id=1250 to break open an attack into the Taff pocket.
An astounding 83 MinMil freedom fighters enrolled to conquer the system.
As the offensive deepened in Egmar, collaborations were made within the militia and Ynot Eyob of The Obsidian Front opened up a second attack in the north with the “Liberate Evati” campaign at https://www.evepandora.com/selectedcampaign?campaign_id=1250 which saw 60 enroll to engage in combat in Evati.
At the same time, Ynot also launched a campaign to drive the system towards liberation with a side-by-side campaign - “Evati Liberation” at https://www.evepandora.com/selectedcampaign?campaign_id=1264
While the Egmar campaign was shortlived and liberated by the Minmatar militia, Fraternity put up a fight in Evati pushing these campaigns to last almost two weeks, ending on 18th April.
As the Evati campaigns were nearing their end and Egmar having been liberated, EveJoker opened up an all out attack on the Amarr-held Taff pocket next to Egmar of Taff, Gukarla and Ualkin wih the “Taff Pocket Liberation” campaign at https://www.evepandora.com/selectedcampaign?campaign_id=1291.
This campaign began 12th April, and in the leadup to the end, both Taff and Gukarla had been claimed by Republic forces with Ualkin at time of this message sitting at 97.1% in the evening of 21st April.
This attack was immense with full collaboration from the Minmatar Republic militia and a final attack on the north had already began, again orchestrated by EveJoker - “Todifrauan Terror” at https://www.evepandora.com/selectedcampaign?campaign_id=1346 starting 20th April.
This final nail in the coffin had seen a huge influx of ISK from representatives of multiple Minmatar affiliates, all pledging ISK to rewards for taking part in the offensive on Todifrauan, with EveJoker receiving isk from:
Ynot Eyob of The Obsidian Fleet Alliance
Centurian Talicus of GunFam
BearThatCares of Minmatar Fleet Alliance
Det Resprox, Keeindor McButts and Wieriron Afuron all of the Ushra’Khan.
Fraternity put up a fight, and with an enormous effort from EveJoker to push the advantage, the scales finally tipped. In the final day Fraternity had all but abandoned their defence and Todifrauan was liberated in the later hours of 25th April, and with Todifrauan once again under Minmatar control, the constellation of Aldodan was liberated.
With more to come. Keep an eye out on the updates at https://evepandora.com
