Create your own game and include it in, if you want, but don't suggest things you are not familiar with - such approach already messed contest (rules just dug deeper grave for it).

I meant it in the sense of a "reparation" to Ironside Industrial. Ultimately ,if it is and "icludable" design or not, that is only CCP staff to decide.

Anyway, if needed, they could make any major changes they want to the design if they shall decide to include it (like is stated in the rules, btw)
>I meant it in the sense of a "reparation" to Ironside Industrial.

CCP have nothing to do with it - it's DA fault. So I can't see any reason for CCP to reparate someone's emoragequit by pissing off their player base.

"...by pissing off their player base..."

...like i said they can heavy modify the LA-B in any degree they want to make it "better", "includable" to EVE. They could even make a new battlecruiser design from scrap and just name it anyway they want after the "L.A." initials.

Although CCP is not directly responsible for DA's judging, at least it shares certain degree of responsability for it -they agreed DA judges select the 15 semifinalist, and the terms of that agreement, whatever they where, led to this mess.
Then there was no point in such event from the start. I'm pretty sure CCP can draw lines, curves and boxes themselves. At least they wanted creative composition from entries, then why should they pick up such ordinarity? We all can whine and ragequiting (it don't require artistic skill or heavy thought) - but it does not make our designs notable. :)

"then why should they pick up such ordinarity?"

And we ran in a circle! If i say that LAB could be "included in game, regardless of the final outcome of the contest", i say this: 3 winners will have their -supposedly- best, magnificent, most creative and beautifull designs included in-game. LAB will not be between those 3 -his entry has been disqualified. Regardless of that, comes the need of a "reparation" to Ironside Industrial. I think a possible way to do it is to "suit" the LAB into EVE somehow (change it, modify it, make it better, different, change it until almost unrecognition, whatever) and include it in-game.
I just can't get your logic: you've already been told, that this entry wouldn't be in finalist anyway (even if he stayed in semifinal). Yet you propose make him a winner (who get his ship in game) just because of his ragequit. 0_o

And why CCP? Make AD to bulid bronze monument for him or something...

Logic is simple: Ironside Industrial won't win anything, he's been disqualified. But considering he was disqualified AFTER being selected as semifinalist, and that he was heavily offended and insulted due to inconsistencies in the judging process (responsabilities shared with DA and CCP on one side, and some angry participants on the other) he should receive a reparation.

A possible way to do this is somehow include a "LA" battlecruiser in game (improved, modified, changed, etc.) There could be other ways, of course.

But maybe you think I.I. doesn't deserve any reparation at all, whatever it may be. Ok. Just take it easy.

My logic is quite simple.
I'm not proposing "making him a winner", i'm proposing "reparating" him somehow; first, he's been chosen as a finalist, insulted for it (?), then, AFTER ELECTING HIM AS A SEMIFINALIST,disqualified (????).

A way to do so can be the way i proposed. There could be a lot of other ways CCP, DA, yourself or anybody can think of. What's all the fuss about? It's not like if CCP or DA suddenly would "obey" any idea anyone could throw in here.

Maybe you dislike the very idea of reparating him in any way? But if that is the case, ok, no problem. Just take it easy.

I assure you that I understand meaning of such work. My commentaries were mostly for others, who could use your work as justification semifinalists. "Catalyst" is example of jury's "deep knowledge" EVE-universe: absence of attention to concepts already existing in game could say a lot about judging.
Hah misanswered :) See other comment.
