This is something that I've been championing for many years (since 2007 in fact, when Veto, my former Corporation lost one of our members, DarkElf) and a couple of the amazing guys from the art team took on the concept work for it earlier this year.

We often get requests from corps, alliances and individuals to put monuments or tributes into the game environment for specific people, but we'd rather keep a level playing field and have a single site that's dedicated to everyone loved and lost.

I gave the art team the name "The Eternal Cyno" and this is what they came up with - it looks even better at full res with all the effects running and stuff.

There's a LOT of people within CCP who've since added touches and suggestions to it, and it's looking amazing so far.

I'm a little sad that it's made it's way to SiSi's file structure already, as I was hoping to keep it for the opening ceremony in Berlin, but it's good that it's being received positively.

The intention with this asset is to eventually replace the control tower that's currently anchored in Molea, with the same mechanic that prevents decay of anchored cans around it so that people can leave messages and tributes if they want to do so.

It still needs a lot of GFX work, along with a few other things including a description that I'm finding pretty difficult to write. Sometimes it's tough to find words.

Hopefully it'll be in game on TQ before the end of the year :)
