Topic Title

In the last weeks, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about things that AstroFlux needs, and I realized something. This game only has one ship that can be rewarded from a mission, all the other you must slave away at timed missions to gain flux to buy. Personally, I believe that this should change, but who really cares what I believe So, I have decided to make a contest to see what ideas you guys have. Your task is straight forward.

You must design a mission chain that will have a ship reward at the end, and also design the ship.

Requirements: You must specify the reward at the end of each part completion, and a short description of the task. You must also provide the stats of your new ship, along with any specific weapons. A picture/drawing/video ect. of the ship is required, but don't worry if you aren't very artistic. As long as I can see the design, we're good.

Rules: For now, I will keep it at 1 entry per person, but I may change that in the future.

Reward and Judging: This contest will start tomorrow, October 1st. It will run until November 1st, at which time I will review the entries with some people who have not entered and determine the winners. And now for the good part! The reward of this contest will be flux, and a fair amount of it for all the hard work you will put in. The amount is yet to be determined, as this and the amount of winners will be based on how many people enter the contest (minimum reward will be 1000 flux). So invite all your friends, and lets make this the biggest contest yet! Good luck, and may the flux be with you

#Reserved #Shouldofgottenherebeforesupreme

I pretty much focused on an electricity based ship and an old sprite of one of my creations. There isn't much to say but let's get straight into the contest entry.
___________________________________________________________________

The Archnemesis - Part 1
???: "Hello, D-Do you hear me? Oh thank god. Hey, i'm a lonely traveler in the open spaces. What i'm doing here you will probably ask? I have... bad connections within the antor federation and anyways when i returned those bastards attacked me outside of the sight of the AF-Fleet, making it nearly impossible to survive even within the fleet. Please, i beg you, will you help me?"

Task: Go to the travelers hideout located in kritilian.
Reward: 1.200 EXP, 2000 Steel.

The Archnemesis - Part 2
???: "Oh, you arrived? Good to know... sorry for not telling you my name, nowadays you can't really trust anybody but your heroic actions reached even to the most outer sectors. My name is Murphy and well... i'm a bullied AF-Member, though, we can't all this bullying anymore. Since the day when i tried to re-build a ship he uses he follows me everywhere within the AF-Sectors, and it's just a matter of time until they find my secret hideout here. Why re-building a ship? His one is unique and not even available for sale in the AF-Hangars. As far as i know this is highly illegal not sharing technology, but somehow he always gets away with it. Enough of the story talking, i need you bust him him or, if necessary, take him down. For now, let's check your pilot level... i hope you are level 100."

Task: Reach level 100 (if you passed level 100 already, this mission is completed immediately)
Reward: 5.000 EXP, 3000 Steel

The Archnemesis - Part 3
Murphy: "Alright, i see you are level 100. Alright, i would say let's start with some spying and spotting. If we don't know where he is, we can't lure him out nor strike him. I already spotted a suspicious looking station in kritilian. It looks like some kind of secret base in the far outsides, i'm not sure if you already heard of it. Though, it is guarded by some kind of drones. These drones look weak but be careful though, you never know what traps he has opened up."

Task: Land on the disbanded hangar in kritilian
Reward: 12.500 XP, 7500 Steel, 5 Flux

Note: >1< 2.000.000 Health and 1.000.000 shield station is preventing the player from landing and there are 2 tesla drones guarding the location, more information to the enemies later.

The Archnemesis - Part 4
Murphy: "Alright, did you catch him?" *You tell him about finding nothing but an abandoned hangar* Murphy: "I see... did he know we are coming? This is bad... We have to find him, at least i do. Where else could he possibly hide? Anyways, these drones you just destroyed could come in handy, luckily you collected their parts during the fight. Hand me over these drones and go collect some stuff so i can create a new one for you. Yes, i'm an engineer as well. I need 500 Big metal scraps, 100 Core charge and 100 alien alloys."

Task: Collect 500 Big metal scraps, 100 Core charge and 100 Alien alloys
Reward: 15.000 XP, 10.000 Steel.

The Archnemesis - Part 5
Murphy: "We've got a problem! My base is being attacked by drones! Please come as fast as you can and hold them off, the base can't stand the drones any longer!" *Cut of communication line*

Task: Destroy tesla-Drones 0/4 > Then go to the travelers hideout
Reward: 20.000 EXP, 12.500 Steel, 5 Flux, Tesla drone factory weapon.

Note: Around the hideout are 4 tesla drones which you have to destroy, afterwards you can land.

The Archnemesis - Part 6
Murphy: "Oh thank god for helping me, i thought i was going to die now, i owe you one. Well, you got the tesla drones now. Interesting technology offering a long range and close range attack and being well armored as well. Alright, due to this attack i was able to find the manufacture date and location in one of these debris. And it says it was constructed 2 days ago in vorsran. This is strange. Besides of the Antor federation stations i can't seem to find another one. I mean my radar technology isn't the best but i would find a huge station with ease... Unless. I have an idea, take me to the warpgate in Vorsran and let me see if i can somehow spot a station from there."

Task: Go to - Vorsran Warpgate
Reward: 5.000 EXP, 3 Flux.

The Archnemesis - Part 7
Murphy: "God, these bombers literally blow these stations apart soon. Can you get rid of them? These bombers are interfering the signals and i can't seem to get a clear signal here."

Task: Destroy nexar bomber 0/20
Reward: 18.500 EXP, 5 Flux.

The Archnemesis - Part 8
Murphy: "I think... i think i found a station here. It is far to the north from here, you can't even see it on the map from here. Alright, i think that's him. We have to go there and lure him out or kill him. Nobody would miss him anyways."

Land on: Secret hideout in vorsran
Reward: 10.000 EXP

The Archnemesis - Part 9
???: "Who are you supposed to be? How did you get past my security system? Ahh well, doesn't matter to me, it's time for you to go into a deep sleep, come out if you think you can beat me."

Kill Unknown archangel 0/1
Reward: 50.000 EXP, 50.000 Steel, 20 Flux

The Archnemesis - Part 10
Murphy: "I lost the signal to one of the ships near you... did you kill him? YOU DID? Great! This is going to be the best day in my life... Collect his ships debris and bring them to me, we will show the remaining parts to the antor federation and make this ship a flyable ship for all."

Land on: Upgrade station in vorsran.
Reward: 10 Flux, 40.000 Steel, Ship: Archangel

Alternate design:

A Bionic Upgrade

Triggered upon reaching level 120.

Task 1:
Crew: "The bionic larva is great and all with the teleport, but what about those moth queens that spawn those? Maybe we can check in with Xhargreg and see if he can come up with something... But first, we should probably bring him the usual bribe"

Task 3:
Xhargreg: "Oh hello there. Ohhhh bug legs! You people know me too well. What can I do for you? ... Bionic Moth Queens, you say? The teleporting larva isn't good enough for you? I suppose I can make something to get you on your way to it... I'll need a good amount of crucial materials first."

-Land on Abandoned Hangar in Fulzar
Rewards: 3,000 Exp

Task 5:
Xhargreg: "Fantastic! You brought just enough for what I planned! Go spend some time with the Bionic Moth Queens that those bothersome Nezerians have to get a good feel for what you have to look forward to. I think you'll find this to be quite EGGcellent! *chuckles into a hacking cough*"

Crew: "Wait... What?"

Its crew had managed to convince the space pirate Mandrom to come and destroy Azuron, by blowing the sun up. That Mandrom in Arrenius? That's a copy of the original, which might be Mandrom's Father. Alright, now for the second one, which is slightly less detailed. The Dominator had been in the battle of Azuron, as a Nezerian Battleship, and arrived at Durian a few years later, severely damaged.

The Nezerian History Pt. 22

"Dr. Mira: I've found out everything we can know now, I think. The Nezerians had started shooting at our ships because we could not kill them. They had only started after the Aureus had attacked the Nezerians, and turned the four planets on their side gold. They had unleashed their weapon of mass destruction, and I think that's called a "Nezerian Regius Exterminatore" from what I've decoded. Now, we've gotten stronger, and we can now destroy the Nezerian race, but I would rather not. I think this is all the information we can get at this point... You've helped me so much with this, thank you. Take this good sum of Steel, and this brand new ship!"

As slow as this is going, I guess it would make sense when the contest duration is as long as a MONTH... Kinda makes people not bother to participate in a timely manner. Sure, it means we have loads of time to have our entries exactly as we want them, but it doesn't really get all that competitive from there. In any case, I figured I'd pipe in on the entries made by the other competitors that bothered to take the time to get the entries done and over with right away.

Nightsky: I like where you're going with it, but there's a reason for the contest duration to be so long... so that you DON'T RUSH THE TYPING OF IT. I'd count the number of times that capitalization had NOT shown up when necessary, but I don't have THAT kind of time on my hands. Also, you kinda forgot to insert when, where, how, etc. the mission chain starts. I'll assume you plan on adding in the elite techs and the rest of the Tesla Drone Factory stats later on, but I strongly advise specifying more on the Shock Spikes. Guidance rate and details on the AoE effect are missing. As for the Shockwave Launcher, I like how you were going for an approach similar to Light Wave Generator, so I wouldn't change anything about that except when adding in the elite techs for it. Once you have all that taken care of, it should be much more presentable.

KaleSplat: Well for one, I like how you tie in activities that are usually one-time things. I see you even added new concepts for mission triggers, and fairly ingenious ones at that, but I would like to point out that you seem to be lacking a bit on your Pt. 3 as far as what is actually supposed to be done. Speaking of a lack of things, ... erm... did you miss the part where this contest involves story mission chains with SHIP REWARDS? What you have already is great and all, but I'm just pointing out the fact that you seem to have bypassed half of what the contest is looking for...

All in all, great effort so far, the both of you. I look forward to seeing future entries from others that are participating in this!

Well....I'm not totally sure I should allow this, but I guess it's ok for now. Keep up the good work guys

Oh, are we not supposed to critique during the competition?
