With DefenseCon in full swing, Cloud Imperium Games is shifting the focus from the showroom floors to the actions of the players themselves. The theme is simple but broad: heroism. Whether it’s a daring rescue in the heat of a bunker raid, a desperate escort mission through pirate-infested space, or simply standing tall against the backdrop of a collapsing star, the community is being asked to document what it means to be a hero in the Verse.
The stakes are high for those who can master the camera controls. The grand prize is a Tobii Eye Tracker 5, a piece of hardware that fundamentally changes how you pilot ships by allowing for natural head-tracking and eye-aiming. For those looking to bolster their fleet, the contest is also giving away several highly coveted in-game ships:
- Origin M80: The sleek, high-performance interceptor that has been the talk of recent events.
- Drake Cutlass: The versatile workhorse of the stars, perfect for those who live on the edge.
- MISC Hull A: The essential starter for any aspiring cargo magnate.
Winning one of these ships isn't just about the credit value; it’s about the utility they bring to your emergent career. Seeing an M80 as a reward is particularly interesting given its recent debut, making this one of the first opportunities to earn the ship through community participation rather than just the pledge store. If you've been practicing your framing and lighting using the advanced camera tools, now is the time to put those skills to the test.
