...you challenge them to climb Everest with no food.
Bring a jet pack.

Wouldn't be "climbing" anymore.

Who needs to climb?? Just pulverise the mountain through orbital bombardment and then stand where it usually stood and say that you managed to climb it :P ;D


WIN ;D

Endurance Challenge

  • You must survive 10 battles with one ship only, without supplies
  • Bonus: Do this with a Buffalo of your choice.
  • Keep FP difference close, maximum of 2 lower.
This is hard.

Now my Aurora is kitted out, I only ever fly with a single ship! Admittedly it's by far the best all-rounder ;D

It's also a great way of building up elite crew as only the very smallest of fleets bother to run from what they perceive to be a puny lone cruiser; bwhahahah how wrong they all are  ;D
I currently have 351 elites; won't be long before my elites outnumber my veterans!  :o

Yeah... maybe I should set the bar at ships with yellow/orange engines only  ;)

Easy with my Enforcer build. I played solo until I had enough money to buy and outfit a Conquest straight up.

Dual flak on the sides, a pair of Hypervelocity Drivers on the diagonals, and a Heavy Mauler up front. Add four single Harpoon MRMs and Hardened Shields and you'll do quite well... the only time I ever really took serious damage was against Broadswords, Tempests, or those Pirate Carrier fleets with the Ventures.

No, I'll have to try that. The majority of battles were against equal or greater FP, and I rarely took armor damage. Plus, finding stuff to fight is easy; everything short of solo hounds chases you.

Its kinda like the Alien Behemoths in the minimash mods; they often get their support ships stripped off, and end up chasing down everything solo. Unfortunately this makes them faster than many much weaker fleets, so unless they run into a supply or planetary defense fleet, they wreck unbelievable havoc...

The Hound Love Chanlage
Survive using only hounds and whatever you can fit in the hanger space provided by the hounds.
You may outfit the hounds in any way you wish.

SuperFreighter trade

fill all 200 FPs with Atlases and go from corvus 2 to corp HQ when they are on opposite sides of the system.
the Atlases cannot have aug engines, anything else goes.
also, you cannot go over the FP limit =P

Bonus: go from corvus 2 to corp HQ when corvus 3A is either inbetween them or right behind corvus 2.
