I believe it might be the caution 'tape' found on certain platforms in deadspace missions. I think they are called 'landing platforms'. At least that is what they look like. They also have these small hangar-looking constructions on them Cool

Its a part of a background you can choose at character creation.
There is K27 written just above the part where the screenshot is taken.
No idea what the background really represents tho, its kinda such a typical sci-fi hangar interior, and theres 4 arrows drawn at the bottom >>>>

Hope this is enough description :p

It is one of the backgrounds you can choose from when making your Avatar's look. In addition to selecting the correct background you also need to select the darkest black/grey lighting.

HOLY ****

that was fun as **** a very hard riddle though i want an aswer from you if i may

the clue you gave that was most useful was this 1
was the one about the pirate gang

the low and med level hits were just a trick to lead you off task

the only one that helped after i figured out the portion about the char creation screen was

the last hint: 2. taken from a member of the infamous pirate gang

but the first hint i dont believe it any thing to do with helping you solve the riddle am i correct

read my updated post above and check the ingame market description of the Olufami's DNA, it matches the HIGH GRADE 2.Idea

It's part of the HINTS competition that you need to apply all HINTS to find the winning answer.

Basically what you have to learn about these competitions is that what he is asking you to give him is not always exactly what you see in the screen caputure that he posts. Figuring out what the screenshot is is just a very small portion of figuring out the while answer

Welcome to our 18th EVE-screenshot-detail competition

screenshot is only part of the answer basically

Maybe I'm wrong for thinking that 'EVE-screenshot-detail' means: guess what this image is part of the screenshot off.

There was NOTHING stated that we needed to guess both the screenshot and what item Effei was thinking about.

Also how would one be able to win if they had just bought the basic fee?

I.BASIC contest fee:

I'm sorry if i read the rules wrong, but it never says that you can win off the basic one.

It is right that you will have a very low chance to guess it right with a basic fee...

1.You can still monitor what others post and guess the rest

or

2.When you have bought premium or any other hint you only have to buy basic to have more posts/tries...

This competition is about HINTS and guessing.
Some misleading information I have updated in my new competition rules found here.

You know the drillYARRRR!!

Refers to the idea that you have to find out about what information is hinding there
