Since your talking about making new ship models. Can I ask that you consider making an Eve Chess Set? I believe you have enough variety in the Empire Races and ORE to make a set of pieces for each one. Not sure that you have enough ships for the Pirate factions.
Pawns - Frigate Knights - BattleCruiser Bishops - Logi Rooks -Battleship Queen - Carrier/Mothership King - Titan
As an example for the Minmatar pieces
Pawn - Rifter Knights - Hurricane Bishops - Scimitar Rooks - Tempest Queen - Hel King - Ragnarok
You could even do for ORE
Pawn - Venture Knights - Procurer Bishops - Noctis Rooks - Hulk Queen - Orca King - Rorqual |

Back in my OpenGL class (like 3 or 4 years ago) I ripped a bunch of ship models from the game with Triexporter and then made a chess board with cell-shaded Eve ships. I think I had Caldari on one side and Amarr on the other. I made a cell-shaded Wyvern first and it looked so cool that I decided I had to do more. And somehow that turned into a chess board.

Here's another version;
Pawn - Interceptor (Hero tackle, expendable) Knights - Heavy Assault Cruiser (Great mobility, usually fights within brawl range) Bishops - Tier 3 Battlecruiser (Excellent range, can land killing blow from across the field) Rooks - Tier 3 battleship (Also excellent range, survives a long time in a fight) Queen - Tech 3 cruiser (Because of versatility) King- Command Ship (Always dies last in a fight, usually, and is often piloted by the FC. When FC dies and there's no target caller, the fleet usually falls apart. Check Mate.)
And have 4 sets of this, one for each race. |

I'm hoping to see some models appropriately scaled to allow for this. I don't think its necessary for CCP to market an actual chess set though.

Shogi would be really interesting, but aren't the look of the pieces one of the defining aspects of shogi? To be completely honest I don't know if there's a history of shogi pieces coming in different shapes.
Also, how would you deal with promotions? Once again, showing my shogi ignorance because you could of already listed the promotion without my knowing. |

I'm not a purist so I put the look of the pieces down to matter of taste or aesthetics. As for the promotion, that could be a bit of a dilemma. Maybe a separate piece that replaces the non-promoted piece? I don't think there's enough ship models that could be just flipped upside down and still look good. Maybe it could be solved by just having regular shaped shogi pieces but with ships painted on them?

I've actually been thinking about the whole promotion issue and I also think regular shape pieces with the ship image would be the best idea. Then on the promoted side you could a T2 ship. Here's how I'd imagine the piece images (with Gallente).
King: Moros Rook: Megathron Rook+: Kronos Bishop: Myrmidon Bishop+: Eos Gold General:Proteus Silver General: Vexor Silver General+: Ishtar Knight: Thorax Knight+: Deimos Lance: Catalyst Lance+: Eris Pawn: Incursus Pawn+: Enyo

Used to be an avid chess player, and even though i haven't played in over two years i would buy an Amarr-Minmatar set so long as it wasn't more than 60 dollars or so. That being said, i would probably pay more depending on the quality. |

my issue with 3-way chess is that one of the players would be in an unequal starting position, unless you made an isometric board...... which could be VERY interesting For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it.....

The 4 empire factions would be enough in my book. I'd like to add to your previous statements and follow on some others as well. For the chess set, I'm going to list Gallente as they're my favorite
Pawn - Incursus/Tristan Knights - Myrmidon Bishops - Oneiros Rooks - Megathron/Hyperion Queen - Nyx King - Erebus
But to build on what others have been saying. I would buy this in a heartbeat IF the quality was great. I'm talking highly polished, robust material and an equally impressive chess board. If the quality looks or feels cheap then it's just a waste for CCP. As for the chessboard, give us the standard board with squares except imprint the image of a solar system (Sun, asteroid belts, solar winds, etc). You give me that and I will drop $50 right now.
For the comments about the 3-player chess board, it's not known enough to market it. That is a very niche market and wouldn't be worth extra effort or prices associated with selling it.
I haven't been to fanfest as it's a bit out of price range, but I do remember watching the Chess-Boxing matches. I'm not sure if they still have the matches, but what a perfect reason to a) start doing those again and b) have the chess sets available. Also, free marketing of the product with a lot of interested viewers

What do ya think?
With that spiky bit on it the Incursus/Enyo would be a perfect fit for the lance piece. Then again the other races don't have a similar looking ship so...
Maybe rook and bishop should both be battleships? Then GG would be a battlecruiser, SG a T3 cruiser and knight a T1 cruiser. Mmmm, choices choices.
Maybe I should make another shogi set to myself, print some eve ships on self adhesive paper and have at it. Sable's Ammo Shop at Alentene V - Moon 4 - Duvolle Labs Factory.

I approve, awesome idea.
My idea of a Caldari chess pieces btw:
1 king: Pheonix. (isn't this the most perfect match? Both quite useless but also valuable ). 1 queen: Raven. 2 rooks: Rohk and Scorpion. 2 bishops Drake and Ferox 2 knights Caracal and Moa. 8 pawns: 2 Merlin, 2 Kesterl, 2 Griffin, 2 Heron.
Sorry, no room for the Naga, Bantam and Destroyers. But I think this covers it pretty good. You'll notice, its all T1. |

Definitely a must if CCP is serious about keeping Eve-Online alive for 100 years.
Big goal but its still a goal.
All of the NPC Races should be included as well that way you can play Sansha against the Gallente or Sansha against a mixture of Gallente, Amarr, Caldari and Minmatar....or vice versa. |
