Astro Galaxy - a realistic space exploration game

ok, 10(ten) QP to the first to correctly identify my avatar<insert date stamp here - 03,08,2013 : 2305 UTC>...

Painting made by Cheeta, a chimp. 4:25 PM MST.  :)

There is already a time stamp every time a person replies though..  :)

we have a winner...

Captain sargas has sent you 10 Quantum Point(s).

Thanks a bunch! Poor me can now afford an officer.  :))

and now, here I am facing a charge of aiding &  abetting...

LOL

Maybe you can set a time so people will know when (if ever) the next contest will be. And should probably be much harder than the last. :)

oh no, it doesn't work that way...


...TAG...

...you're it...


...giggle...

I can't be it since I can't even send QPs. I chose an officer over VIP status since it's more beneficial for now. :)

it's your game, the prize is up to you...



...you are the one who opened this box...

Should have picked VIP to begin with.  Shorter nav time and longer range nav computer lol. Hope you picked a good officer.

A very nice contest :-) The next time I take part!

Oh god, you guys do spend a lot of time playing with yourselves.  :14:

What else should we do? Its lonely out in Space ;-)

the next contest is rafe's...

...he won the first one...

...it was in all the papers...

...it's his contest, he sets the parameters and whatever the prize is...


...he pays the prize, though...

we need a contest that is more gladiator style. for eg. Set up a prize ship for whoever can take it; takes the cargo spoils :P
Be warned though, this contest could be very costly to the participants haha
The reward would be a mystery prize, perhaps a large module of undisclosed nature that gets dropped if the ship emergency jumps. Or some rare materials, or both. Would be up to the event organiser :P
IMG may consider being a host to this contest if enough players are interested. Perhaps we could incorporate an entrants fee to contest hmmmmm....tempting
Maybe do first of this style of contest for free (pro bono) just to see how it works, then charge a "challenge/entry fee" for successive attempts
Thoughts on that, all
(Hey maybe Rafael could put up his million powered ship ;) "

I might be interested in doing this. Though before I start working on such a ship I would first like to finish my mothership.  Unfortunately it isn't cheap to build lo l

(shuffles some unassuming papers on his desk....mutter mutter....hmmmmm ship deployments...hmmmm drydock...ohhhh, lookee here i think there may be a spare vessel someplace...oh, TOP SECRET you say? OK cant use that one just yet hmmmm Let me get back to you on that one after a chat to my military commander about freeing up a corp combat vessel for such a trial lol
The rules will be simple though. Initially it will be ship v ship for a "clash of the titans" 1 participant at a time. NO SCANNING OF VESSEL ALLOWED though not sure how to enforce that just yet, and no hangared or multiple ship surprises. We can try that option of multiple ship combats at a later stage. Considering the length of the timer required to combat one of our vessels QP to be used at attacker's discretion.
Anyway, the concept is out there. It would be nice if Sir Emi would provide us an arena for such an event in the future, though if the prize is high enough, it should be worth the cost or sacrifice of solars to try to achieve. An accolade or two would be nice also (medals to put on a campaign veteran's chest. We all like to be acknowledged in some small way)
Is your mothership a private or corp vessel? More taxes and income required lol

This mothership is a privately owned one.  lol.
